Rab Men’s Downpour Pants – Waterproof, Breathable Rain Pants for Hiking & Trekking | Black, Large/32 in

A reliable rain layer for the trail

The Rab Downpour Pants are built to withstand surprise storms while you push toward the summit. They’re anchored by a lightweight Pertex Shield 2.5L shell that balances protection with compact packing. The fabric combines a 20,000 mm waterproof rating with 20,000 g/m² breathability, helping you stay dry without overheating. A fluorocarbon-free DWR coat and 50D 100% recycled polyester keep weight down and drying times quick, so you can move on the next mile with less fuss.

In real-world use, these pants slip over midlayers or tights with ease. A full-length gusset and articulated knees support natural movement as you navigate rocky switchbacks or loose scree. When a shower comes on suddenly, the ¾-length side zippers let you pull them over your boots quickly and also serve as on-the-go vents when you’re pushing uphill in warmer weather.

Fit, mobility, and protection

The Downpour Pants use a regular fit designed for layering, plus a partial elastic waistband and drawcord at the hems to keep the silhouette snug over footwear. The combination of a secure fit and flexible construction helps you stay comfortable on long days in mixed conditions, without excess bulk.

Rab emphasizes thoughtful, weather-ready details: a lightweight shell with reliable water repellency, a full gusset for mobility, and zippers that balance ease of use with protection. The result is a versatile rain pant that performs in the hills or around town when rain is in the forecast.
