Red Ledge Men's Thunderlight Pant Pull On Rain Pant

I haven't had the opportunity to use the pants yet but by all other reviews I'm sure it will be fine. A problem I enountered though was with the sizing. I wear a 34 blue jeans and my waist is usually between 34 - 35. I read a review which suggested going up a size so I went up to a large which I believe was for 36 - 38. As soon as I pulled the pants out of the box I could see right away this was not going to work. Trying them on over my pants, they were really tight around the waist and I couldn't imagine walking around for any period of time and feeling comfortable. There was no way I could wear these.So, I was kind of upset with Red Ledge for not making a realistic sizing schedule and that I've have to return these at my expense. However, in explaining the situation to Amazon, they sent me a return shipping label and said it would all be prepaid and I would receive a full refund. Great customer service by Amazon and that's the kind of thing, as small as it was that will keep me coming back to them.I reordered the rain pants but this time in XL which I could hardly believe I was doing as that was for waist size 40 to 44 if I remember correctly. When the pants arrived I tried them on and they were so much better and now fit the way they should for a person of my proportions. I'm 6'0 and weigh 175 lbs. I think the product will be very good but be careful on the sizing.

Needed a pair of waterproof pants for afternoon walks because it rains so much here. I'll have to addend this review as I just received the pants a couple of days ago.On first inspection, they're an "excellent," well made product. They're not designed as everyday pants but look to be used as outerwear over jogging shorts, basketball shorts or regular jeans. They easily compact to a pint water bottle size for portability and come with their personal netted carrying/storage bag. And at 8.9oz (263g), make an excellent hiking/emergency companion.A word to the wise, after going to the manufacture web site, yes, these do breath......water "vapor," not liquid sweat and they depend on there being a temperature difference; outside ambient temperature being lower than inside the pants temperature for the most effective venting of moisture vapor. Yes, these can be washed; cold water, mild detergent.Go to the manufacture's web site. About fifty seconds into the webcast, the host speaks about the need for lower air temperature difference and how it affects the efficiency of moisture vapor venting,The product is very well priced compared to that of "The North Face" or other popular outdoor brands. Interestingly enough, the "Red Ledge" product line is used by one of the crew highlighted on "Deadliest Catch." And short of going into the ocean itself, it don't get any wetter than what those guys deal with.I took the pants out today for a one hour, afternoon, New Year's Day walk. It was 36F, snowy/rainy weather; no wind. I wore them over denim jeans. I walked through a wilderness area and residential mountain roads; 2,300'. At no time did I feel cold or wet. They passed with flying colors. I would neither hesitate to recommend these pants to another person, or hesitate to buy another pair or two for my personal outdoor comfort. For the price, these also make for an excellent addition to the emergency Winter car kit.Hope the above helps.

A few years back I went to Lawranceburg TN USA. It started to rain my Mom said it was a drinchle down pour in 20 mins streets were flooding. My Mom asked me where was my coat I said in the car this is just a sprinkle in Seattle WA USA. Hence the title "In Seattle When it Rains it POURS"I got the  Red Ledge Men's Thunderlight Pant Pull On Rain Pant , Black, LargeLet me give Props to Amazon. I was told after I ordered the pants that they were out of stock, and on back order. about 3 days later I got an email from them saying they had some Good News in stead of being shipped out on the 5th of Nov as est they would be shipping on the 27th of Oct. I was afraid they would cancel the order on me. I ended up getting them like 3 days before my rain coat that was in stock. Thank's Amazon Job well done.Pros1. Rolls up tight and fits in the inside breast pocket of my coat.2. Fits over my shoes (putting on and off).3. draw cord in waste, no need to wear a belt.4. Kept me dry on the inside (No rain got in, and no sweat built up)Cons1. Only a back pocket.2. Snaps on cuff are hard to pull apart thinks they will rip out.Over AllI like the pants fit, and if they hold up while riding to work each rainy day (LOTS OF RAINY DAYS IN SEATTLE)will be a plus.

In S.E. Alaska it rains over 100" per year in my location and these extremely affordable pants have proven to be effective. I use them while riding my bicycle to work as well as hiking, camping, backpacking and snowshoeing. At first I was worried about the durability of them during a 2 day snowshoeing trip in the Alaskan outdoors. They proved me wrong and held up real nice although I fell and slid on my butt a couple times. These are bear bones FYI which is what I was looking for. Just something waterproof, lightweight and breathable without any bells and whistles or an inflated price tag. If u pack them tight, expect them to have a wrinkled appearance. Otherwise they look fine.Pros:Extremely lightweightRidiculously Packable and compressibleWaterproof as advertised and expectedComfortableBreathableCons:As stated earlier, the snaps at the bottom cuffs are a little tough. Ensure you are pulling from the snaps and not tugging on the material to prevent tearing. Easy fix.That's it so far.Bottom Line:I would rather spend $25 and have to replace these every 3 years than spend $100 on North Face and still have to replace them every 2-3 years. I would recommend these to anyone.

Exactly what I was looking for. They'll be great for golf and camp

Fits small.
