Rab Women's Downpour Pants - Waterproof, Breathable Rain Pants for Hiking & Trekking | Black - X-Small/30 Inseam

From misty forest trails to sudden downpours, Rab Women's Downpour Pants offer reliable rain protection without weighing you down. The shell uses Pertex Shield 2.5L bonded to a 50D 100% recycled polyester fabric, delivering a lightweight profile with strong weather resistance. With a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm and breathability of 20,000 g/m², they shield you from heavy spray while letting heat and moisture escape during steady climbs. The fluorocarbon-free DWR finish helps shed rain and dries quickly, making the pants packable for travel and storage.

Designed for movement and quick on-trail versatility

A full-length gusset and articulated knees provide freedom of motion for scrambling, steep ascents, and long days on the trail. The ¾-length side zippers make it easy to pull the pants on over damp boots during a sudden shower, and they double as venting panels on warmer sections of a climb. The part-elastic waistband combined with drawcord-adjustable hems helps you seal the fit over footwear, keeping the silhouette sleek and bulk-free as you move through mud, wind, and rain.

The Downpour Pants are built for real-life use, balancing light weight with weather protection. The shell is bonded to a 50D recycled fabric and finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, aiming to reduce environmental impact while delivering dependable rain defense. Weighing around 8.4 oz, they are compact enough to stash in your daypack or travel bag, ready for an on-demand layer when showers roll in on the trail or in town.
