Description of Sierra Designs Hurricane LT Pant - Men's:
Sierra Designs' Hurricane LT Pant features a lightweight, waterproof breathable design to keep you dry in the drippiest of conditions. Two-layer waterproof breathable Hurricane nylon fabric and fully taped seams keep the rain from getting in, while sweaty moisture vapors escape so your legs don't smother. These lightweight rain pants pack down small for travel, and 14-inch ankle zippers make it easy to slip on the pants while wearing your shoes. The Hurricane LT Pant is ideal for backup coverage during fair weather backpacking, or for less sweaty activities such as rainy-day urban assaults.
Bottom Line: The Hurricane LT Pant is a lightweight shell pant with features fully taped, waterproof construction.
Pros: lightweight, pack small, cheap, waterproof.
Cons: no venting system, ankle openings make it tough to put them on over top of shoes. (To be fair, I have size 13 feet - might be easier in a size 9 shoe)
It'd be better if they packed into a pocket instead of the bag they come in. I've already lost the bag and wouldn't want to carry the extra weight anyway.
They were waterproof. That is about the best I can say. I wore them once and they were a bit of a slim fit but they worked but the crotch split the first time I wore them. I wasn't doing anything but walking either. Don't know if I got a bad pair or what. If it wasn't for the big hole in the crotch I would have kept them.
I am a little thick in the legs and trunk, and these pants are sized a little too thin for me to wear. I have to wear them without any layer underneath. That being said, they are excellent as far as repelling water, and have done very well when I have worn them.
