Estimate from maker's specs

In short

Good for

  • All-mountain hikes, scrambles and ascents where the weather can turn
  • Pulling on over boots and crampons with full-length two-way side zips
  • Walkers who want 3-layer Pertex Shield without the weight of a guide's pant

Strengths

  • 20,000 mm hydrostatic head and 20,000 g/m2/24h breathability (Rab)
  • 40D 3-layer Pertex Shield at 133 gsm
  • 348.5 g in size M
  • Full-length two-way side zips with a snap at the hem, for venting and easy pull-on
  • Crotch gusset, knee articulation and drawcord-adjustable hems

Weaknesses

  • 348.5 g in size M, against 271 g for Rab's 2.5-layer Downpour Mountain pants
  • Simple part-elasticated waistband only
  • 133 gsm fabric, lighter than the 148 gsm in Rab's Firewall pants
