- Sealed TPU membrane, mesh lining
- 5000g/m2 breathability
- Half leg zips, Velcro ankles
Our take
The only truly sealed waterproof pant in this group.
Why it made the shortlist
The 33,000ft Waterproof Overpants are built with fully seam-sealed, welded TPU membrane fabric over a mesh lining with a stated 5000g/m2 breathability rating. A fully elasticated waist with drawstring, two flapped zip pockets and half leg zips with Velcro closures complete the design.
Compared with the keihTrail Stretch, they give real sealed waterproofing instead of a repellent finish. Against the PIDO YOGA Ripstop, they are a separate shell worn over other pants.
They suit hikers facing steady rain who want a true waterproof layer. The listing names hiking, camping, cycling and fishing.
What works
- Sealed and welded seams hold out rain
- Stated 5000g/m2 breathability
- Half leg zips go over boots
- Velcro ankles seal drafts
Watch out for
- Worn over other pants, adding a layer
- Only two pockets
- The catch
- They add a layer, so they run warmer than trail trousers.
