Did some trekking over the 4th out of Bishop in the John Muir and had some rain to try out my new Montane minimus pants.
I liked them with the exeption of one big issue. The bottom of the pant legs have tight fitting elastic. They won't stay over my shoes so water goes right into my waterproof trail runners. I feel like it should be a standard feature for the pant to go over the top of a shoe/boot.
So I have three options
1. Buy some lightweight gaiters to go with them
2. Carefully unsew the elastic from the pant leg and sew in a few little hooks to keep the pant leg over my shoes.
3. Find some new rain pants that have essentially a built in rain gaiter.
Suggestions?
