Have searched high and low but no luck, maybe folks here can help.
– does the ID eVent Thru Hiker have a volume adjuster in the hood? I can tell from photos that the front edge can be cinched down, but does it also have a separate volume adjuster?
– what sort of waistband and tightening system do the Rain Pants have? Just standard built in elastic + a static drawcord? Or something more complicated with clips, built in belt etc?

A good reason not to just call them….My Thru-Hiker has a volume toggle for the hood.
Mar 4, 2009 at 11:42 am #1482684Yes, the hood has a bungy/cordlock volume adjuster at the back. Note that the brim is not re-inforced, so is not really very usefull in any kind of strong wind. It's also pretty short in the torso but long in the arms.

re the hood, a further question: how well can you cover your face when zipping right up and cinching the hood?
re the pants: so you can only tighten them using velcro, rather than a drawcord? hmm. I can't stand it when rain pants fall down when walking.. do they stay up and tightened ok with pack trying to push them down?
