Women's Vertice Rain Pants (OBS)

These pants handled a full day of steady rain on a steep trail without feeling clammy or restrictive. The waterproof material breathes well enough that I didn't overheat during the climb. My legs stayed totally dry.

The thigh vents are perfect for when I'm hiking uphill and working up a sweat, but they seal up tight once the downpour starts. I've worn them through a few heavy storms now and stayed completely dry underneath.

Finally, a pair of rain pants that don't feel like a trash bag during a steep climb—the fabric has just enough stretch to move with me. The waist cinch kept everything secure even when I was soaked and scrambling over wet rocks.
