Ultralight and breathable weather protection for year-round activities, the PreCip offers a full length zip on both legs so removing them over muddy hiking boots, ski boots or crampons is a breeze. Sealed seams for full waterproof protection. Note: Recommended to buy a size larger than your usual size for comfort and layering. These pants have a small (around half an inch) patch of waterproof sealant on the inner left thigh. I was glissading down Mt Adams in Washington State when my ice axe flipped up and created a small hole in the thigh. Always prepared, I used the sealant I packed for just such situations and they worked perfectly (see photos for close ups). My mountaineering buddies says it gives the "character", LOL. I'm retired from climbing and skiing so offering these wonderful rain pants up so its adventures can continue. Other than the patch described above, these are in great condition. Non-smoking/no pets.
