33,000ft Men's Waterproof Rain Pants - Lightweight Over Pants

Our review of the 33,000ft Men's Rain Pants finds them best suited for outdoorsmen who need dependable, packable protection from wet weather without bulk. These pants deliver one clear selling point: a 5000mm rated waterproof fabric with a fully seam taped TPU membrane that actually keeps light to moderate rain out while remaining breathable and easy to wear over other layers. They are especially useful for golfers, anglers, hikers and commuters who want an unobtrusive overpant that packs down and slips on over trousers or sweatpants.

Key Features

• Waterproof fabric: A 5000mm rated shell with 100% fully seam taped TPU membrane prevents water from seeping through fabric and seams so you stay dry in rain.
• Breathability: 100% polyester shell with a soft mesh lining and a 5000g/m2/24h breathability rating encourages air circulation and reduces clamminess during activity.
• Adjustable fit: Elastic waistband plus a drawstring makes it simple to fine tune the waist so the pants fit over different base layers.
• Secure storage: Two side zippered pockets and a back zippered pocket provide safe places for a phone, wallet or small items while you move.
• Boot-friendly closures: Half leg zippers and Velcro ankle closures expand for boots so shoes stay dry and the pants are easy to put on and remove.
• Visibility detail: Reflective piping on the leg slit improves visibility during low-light outdoor activities.

Who It's For

The 33,000ft Men's Rain Pants are ideal for men who need lightweight, functional overpants for golf, fishing, hiking, cycling or commuting in wet conditions. Reviewers found they slip over golf pants and sweatpants easily, so they work well as a quick-on layer when the forecast turns bad.

These pants may not be necessary for those who need heavy-duty mountaineering shells or fully insulated cold-weather pants; if you require extreme waterproofing or insulation for long periods in heavy downpour or subzero conditions, a purpose-built technical shell or insulated pant would be a better choice.
