Helium Rain Pants Men's F25

These pants weigh almost nothing in my pack, but the fabric feels notably tougher than my old pair when I brushed against rocks on a scramble. They pack down small enough to forget they're there until the rain hits, which is exactly what I need for summer alpine starts.

I was skeptical about the tear resistance claims, but after a few rocky hikes these pants show no signs of wear. They pack down incredibly small in my pack, and the lighter weight is a noticeable upgrade from my old pair.

These are impressively light; I can barely feel them in my pack. Took them on a wet trail run and they kept me dry without any flapping or noise. The extra tear resistance gives me confidence to push through brush, too.
