How to Choose the Best Men's Rain Pants

Finding the right waterproof rain pants comes down to matching the right features to your specific objective.

Waterproofing and Breathability

If you're hiking up a steep trail, breathability matters just as much as staying dry. For high-output days, look for 3-layer GORE-TEX® waterproof pants that actively vent sweat while keeping rain and wind out. If you just need a reliable emergency layer for sudden downpours, a lightweight waterproof pant will do the trick.

Fit, Layering, and Zippers

The best waterproof men’s rain pants are the ones you'll actually put on when the weather turns. Look for a relaxed-athletic fit that layers comfortably over hiking pants or baselayers without restricting your natural stride. Full-length side zips or ankle zippers are essential features as they let you pull waterproof pants on quickly without yanking off muddy boots when the sky opens up.

Durability vs. Packability

You'll want a durable hardshell pant built with rugged ripstop fabric and reinforced seat and knees. If you're keeping a backup pair in your pack for summer backpacking trips, prioritize packability.
