Untitled ReviewPros:
- Very light weight and packable.
- Excellent water resistance, I've used them in heavy downpours with no leaks.
- Reasonable price.
Cons:
- Not good for high abrasion activity. No bushwacking, no glissading, no crampons, no steep rock/ice.
- Leg zippers only go to the knee (a reasonable trade-off for the weight savings).
