Recommend rain pants ?
Posted on 8/16/19 at 5:43 pm

I know they are popular with backpackers, looking for something made of wind breaker material that is water resistant that can be pulled over existing pants/shorts on the fly. Something for unexpected rain that can be stowed away. Or if I know it will be raining early but stop, or not raining early but I know it will later.

Frog toggs are kind of the standard in south LA, but there are plenty of options. What's your price point? And based on your post, I'm assuming fishing?

Thanks, I looked at Frogg Togg, the "classic pro action" seems to be what I'm looking for.
So the next question is- my waist size is right at the cusp of two sizes. Do these run bigger or smaller?

Coco, I recently finished breakin of the Suzuki. Something I noticed is there's no apparent rpm difference between 75% and 100% throttle. Have you noticed this too?

Patagonia makes some nice, lightweight stuff

I have some Fogg Togg Ultralite rain suit. Super cheap. $20on Amazon.
Figured when they tore up I would throw away and get a new set. Been backpacking with them for 6 years. Been through some really cold rainy hikes with them.

You need to trim up more

Ah yes, I noticed this when i took out, and have corrected the trim, but haven't been back out. Thanks. Hopefully that's it.

Frog togg is flat out horrible if you want to stay dry. It might work in a drizzle but that’s about it for them.

Their product page has a few levels of water proofing across the product lines, some of the pants don't even say waterproof in the description.

Zpack vertice pants
A bit pricey but work good. Kilts are great and easy as well just look a little weird.
I have outdoor research helium 2 pants that work great as well. Light and pack tiny. Easy to put on

I'll second this. I ride a motorcycle and have been doing so for almost 50 years now and they are my go-to wet weather riding gear. They have kept me dry in downpours going 70+ on the interstate on road trips.

Can you recommend something else?

Other than the $119 part, it's what I'm looking for. I remember the ones my backpacker buddy gave me 20 years ago were just elastic waisteband, elastic ankles, and baggy enough you could be wearing hiking boots and blue jeans and have no problem sliding them on. I want to say those were Columbia.
Something quick and easy to take on and off, and will keep my pants dry.
All the stuff I am seeing recommended appears to be slimmer fitting, like boating or hiking is a fashion show. I want fat fitting.
I have an REI next door to my office, this might be the kind of thing I just need to try on and feel it with my hands to get exactly what I want.
Thanks for all yalls suggestions. And most of all, validating that it's called a "rain pant" because I thought it was called a "rain pant" but that sounds so gay. Now I can say it with masculine confidence. "Hello, I'm here to try on a rain pant" ... na it still sounds fruity.

What are you using them for? Hiking?
If you are willing to spend a little a cube fiber would be the way I would go. Check out the Packa. Part poncho part raincoat.
My observation with rain gear hiking is that I will be sweaty anyway. Rain gear keeps me warm. I’ve seen a few people with “breathable” rain gear that wetted out after a few hours.
My Frogg Toggs have served me very well and I will continue to use them.

Boating in freshwater, occasionally wearing on a trail while river fishing, even less occasionally offshore.
Exclusively during spring through fall; a cold weather winter rig would be a separate outfit. Something lighter and cooler is better. Not looking for rubber bibs.
