When space is limited and every gram matters, these ultralight waterproof trousers offer reliable protection against unexpected downpours while compressing down to a palm-sized package when not in use. So lightweight they are barely noticeable, they can be easily tucked into a mountain running vest or packed away for lightweight thru-hikes. With outstanding packability, breathability, and a stretchy, ergonomic fit designed for effortless layering over trail shoes or walking boots, they provide the ultimate barely-there rain protection.
