Description:

The Challenger rain gear was tested on our 2014 Great Outdoor Challenge hike across the Highlands of Scotland. On our trip the strength, waterproofness, and breathability all proved to be very good. The pants are breathable enough to sleep in or hike in if it is cold out without getting clammy. The material is thick enough to withstand light brush and abrasion, while still being among the lightest possible choices for WPB rain gear.

Construction:

Built from 1.62 oz/sqyd Waterproof Breathable Cuben Fiber material! The material is a three layer laminate consisting of an eVent membrane on the inside, Dyneema fibers in the center, and a thin layer of Nylon on the outside.

The eVent Membrane provides industry leading water vapor transfer. The pants are completely waterproof, while still being breathable enough to sleep in or hike in if it is cold out without getting clammy.

Dyneema fibers provide extremely high tear strength and rip-stop qualities.

A thin layer of Nylon on the outside gives the pants abrasion resistance and allows the fabric to by dyed a nice solid color.

As with all Cuben Fiber material, repair tape sticks extremely well so repairs in the field are a cinch.
Features:

Adjustable shock cord at the waist and the ankles.

Wide ankles can fit over shoes without removing them.

No pockets, no zippers, no unnecessary weight.

Packs up tiny as shown. Roll the pants up and secure them with the waist elastic. No stuff sack necessary.

Lightest 3 layer waterproof breathable pants in the world?

Combine these pants with a matching Jacket and Mitts for a super light rain suit!

This material is machine washable, but Line Dry it, or air dry on low heat. High heat can shrink Cuben Fiber!
Measuring:

The pants have an adjustable elastic waist, and can be cinched down to any minimum. The material does not stretch and there is no zipper, so the waist has to be loose to come up over your hips and fit over your normal hiking pants.

As an example, the waist on my normal pants is 31″. The medium pants fit me great, and will fit up to a maximum of about a 34″ waist with enough wiggle room to come up over the hips. Large will fit up to a maximum of about 39″.

The regular length should fit a 30″ to 32″ inseam. Short and Tall lengths are also available.

You can use the Outseam measurement (measured from waist to cuff on the outside of the leg) to compare against your current rain pants. The regular outseam length is 45″ (114 cm). Short is 43″ (109 cm). Tall is 47″ (119 cm).

The ankles have adjustable elastic so that you can cinch them if necessary.

Care:

Machine Washable. Line Dry. Do not dry any Cuben Fiber Gear on high heat or it may shrink or delaminate.
