33,000ft Women's Rain Pants Lightweight Waterproof Over Pants Hiking

Our review of the 33,000ft Women's Rain Pants finds them best suited to active women who need a lightweight, breathable waterproof layer for hiking, fishing or commuting. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a waterproof 5000mm membrane and a 5000g/m2/24hr breathability rating, which keeps users dry without trapping sweat during moderate activity. Fit is roomy enough to wear over regular pants, and practical details like a half-leg zip and elasticated waistband make these pants useful for quick changes and variable weather.

Key Features

• Waterproof construction: Fully seam-sealed and welded with a TPU membrane to deliver reliable waterproof protection in steady rain.
• Breathable lining: Mesh lining and a 5000g/m2/24hr breathability rating help moisture escape so the wearer stays comfortable during exertion.
• Adjustable fit: Fully elasticated waistband with an internal drawstring lets you fine tune fit and wear the pants over other layers.
• Easy on and off: Half leg zip lets you pull the pants on over footwear for quick changes when trail or dockside conditions change.
• Secure storage: Two zipped pockets with flaps provide safe carry for small items while keeping water out.
• Visibility and closure: Velcro bottom leg closures and reflective piping improve fit around different footwear and increase low-light visibility.

Who It's For

The 33,000ft Women's Rain Pants are for hikers, anglers and commuters who want a lightweight waterproof shell that breathes better than simple coated nylon. They work well for day hikes, rainy commutes and outdoor chores where you need to stay dry without a bulky layer.

Those looking for heavy insulated winter pants or a fully packable ultralight shell for high-output mountain running should look elsewhere; these are a versatile midweight shell designed for general outdoor use rather than extreme alpine conditions.

Pros & Cons
