In place of all the bells and whistles one usually finds on waterproof ski pants, the Mountain Hardware Epic Pants for Women are built for one simple reason, to provide protection on golight, gofast backcountry trips. Multiple pockets, side zips, and belt loops are not found on the Epic Pant, but the Conduit Silk coating provides an all important waterproof barrier that breathes and feels smooth and dry against bare skin or a base layer. Articulated knees keep you striding in comfort as you push on through rain, snow, or sleet to reach your next camp.
fine quality rain gear
i bought these for my mother, who unfortunately does a lot of her outdoor activity in the rainy pacific northwest, and she loves them. they keep her very dry and warm, but are very breathable as well. highly recommended rain pants. i think i might get some for myself too :)
These are great pants, water & windproof with great ventilation!
I purchased these pants to ensure I'd have some waterproof and very light weight pants to wear as an outerlayer on a trek up Mt Kilimanjaro a week ago (March 06). They were just the right pant! Water and windproof over some heavy polar fleece on the summit at -10 F and 20-30 MPH winds and yet the side zips were great ventilation as not too overheat on the climb up! It was a great purchase and an excellent price! I'll wear them for some spring snowboarding too! Easy on & off and the articulation makes for comfort and flexibility! Will make a great pack pant too!
