“Excellent Rainpants”

“I have had a pair of these Filson lightweight cover cloth rain pants for years. I bought this pair for my wife so she could enjoy their benefits. Living in Seattle, we walk in wet weather for many months out of a year. I particularly like the easy on/off of these pull-on rainpants. The inside is lined with slippery nylon and the ankles have a snap-over gusset so pulling these one over light-weight boots is possible. The wax coated cover cloth is not only durable in brush etc, but also has an excellent water-resistance. These are not waterproof in the modern sense, but I have found they are waterproof in the practical sense. They are vastly more comfortable for long term wear than traditional waterproofs. These also make excellent wind and snow pants. Not as light as modern fabrics, but likely ones you can hand down to the next generation. I paid full price for my pair at Filson, and would do so again. The STP price is truly a bargain.”
