Outdoor Research Men's Rampart Pants

Quality pant
I am a fan of OR clothing. These pants are great for the money. I am 5'8" and the medium is a bit long in the leg but I am right in between sizes so I am used to it. I have owned more expensive pants that were more comfortable but I am happy with these for the price. OR makes quality products overall.

Excellent Packable Rain Panr
I keep this pant packed in my backpack for those unpredictable rain storms either on a hike, or even walking to work. The full zip feature is a must and makes taking them on and off extremely easy and convenient when you are on the go (especially if you have boots on). I was originally going to go with a goretex type of rain pant, but so far these have more than met my needs in light-heavy rain conditions in mild and even colder climates. In fact, with a few base layers, you could probably use these as a snow/ski pant. They are also quite breathable, I was pleasantly surprised. Overall, great, rugged, durable all purpose product that will last me a lifetime.
