A lightweight value-oriented 3-layer waterproof breathable rain shell pant from Patagonia with 3/4 length 2-way side zippers that extend from the thigh down to the cuff. The best price available from any competing brand for a 3-layer laminated shell of this level of design, features, and materials. This pant is a lot more durable than 2 and 2 & 1/2-layer fabric counterparts from other competing brands at the same price level, which do not have the additional thin fabric laminated on the inside of the pants to protect the actual waterproof membrane from abrasion. A rain pant that works, and one that will last you through lots of use without breaking the bank. These pants run on the long side. The majority of people will fit the shorter length best.
