I need a pair of UL rain pants.
Not WP breathable, just waterproof and UL.
I have a pair from Lightheart Gear, but my waist size only comes in 32″ inseam, and I would be walking on it.
I would hem it up, but the zipper complicates that.

The cost was great at $75 and I think about 4oz.
They will do a custom inseam at another $75 but that’s not happening.

Most of what I’m seeing is well over $100, but there is one that I’m looking at, Anti Gravity Gear at $65.
Does anyone have experience with them or have other suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Tim, can you “get by” with rain chaps? They were de rigueur back in the 70’s but are finding a renaissance, and for good reason. They definitely breath better then true pants, are lighter, cheaper, and simpler to take on an off. Mine are over a decade old from Sierra Designs, but here’s a couple of recent make:
