I am looking for a pair of rain pants, but I am struggling to find a pair that fits my needs. I have thought about a rain kilt, but I would like full leg coverage so I can also wear them in winter. The two most important qualities for me are full zip and durability. I am also starting to wear shorts hiking and I plan to use the rain pants around camp as well. I would greatly appreciate any advice!
LUKES ULTRALITE does great work and will make them the way you want, just contact him and let him know what you want.
Great gear built to your specs
Although it's a little-known brand in the US, CAMP has some interesting options at times. Take a look at the full-zip Camp USA Essential B-Dry Pants (4.9oz) or the Protection Pants (5.3oz w/full zip), or the Magic Pants (4.6oz full zip, but a bit less waterproof). http://www.camp-usa.com/products/essential-outerwear/b-dry-pant-evo/
If durability is most important, and more important than weight, you might take a peek at some of the arcteryx LEAF stuff.
These all look great, but I need a pair more affordable. I will be sure to keep my eyes out for a slightly used pair of one of the mentioned above, but I may not be able to afford them. Anything for less than $100?
Options are limited at that price but I think Marmot Precip pants are available with a full zip. They should have a fairly durable face fabric but have had a history of de laminating but pretty much all rain jackets and pants in that price range (and many above) have that issue.
Any insight on the Mountain Hardwear Stretch Plasmic? They have full zips and REI has them for less than $100.
