Zpacks ウィメンズ バーティス レインパンツ

First time wearing them on a wet, windy ridge hike and my legs stayed completely dry the whole way. They pack down to almost nothing in my pack, which is exactly what I need for those “just in case” storms.

Three days of steady drizzle and my legs stayed completely dry — these weigh so little I forgot they were in my pack until I needed them. The fabric doesn’t crinkle or stick to your skin like other rain pants I’ve tried.

Took these on a week of wet mountain hiking and they kept me completely dry through a full afternoon of downpour. The weight is almost unnoticeable in my pack, which is exactly what I wanted for an emergency layer. They’re my go-to now when the forecast looks grim.
