If you hunt in western Oregon I would look somewhere else for waterproof clothing. This stuff is overpriced and does not perform in the wet jungle.

After destroying an old pair of rain pants I needed to fill that spot in my pack. Paired with the Vapor jacket these pants are amazing, lightweight and Durable, they take up little to no room in your pack while providing excellent rain protection. I wore these bear hunting this season, trudging through thick bush, thorns and clear cuts; These pants kept me dry and came out with a scratch on them. I wish it rained more so I could wear them more often.

I have not had the chance to use this in the back country yet. I have just not been in a good rainstorm with them yet. However the pack very well in a small compression sack, and you can’t find a better weight to durability ratio. I have worn them at home through several rainstorms just to test them out. I went for a walk in a very heavy rain for around 30 minutes and noticed no leaks or wet spots when I can inside. I have complete trust in these pants.

Coming from Washington these pants worked great i bought late in the year so mostly just used for up land so far. Worked great at keeping legs dry walking through the tall grass and heavy rains, while not adding a lot of extra weight.

Kept in the pack for those pop up showers. Worked mint. I wouldn't pound brush with them, but they are light, and keep the wet out. As rain gear comes, it's on the quiet side of everything else I have worn.
