    Dutchware Xenon Rain Pants

    Anyone have experience with these rain pants? I am looking for rain pants for an early season start on the Appalachian Trail and these seem like they'd fit the bill and are far lighter than any other options I have seen.

    Thanks

    We have had thruhikers use these pants. They are light weight material and not breathable. So no bushwhacking and if it is hot, don't wear non breathable pants. They are great for colder weather. I use a rainskirt for summer.

    Just ordered a pair. Going to give these a try and will report back.

    Will definitely be switching to my rain kilt for warmer weather though.

    Thanks
