Rab says
A regular fit with full-length AquaGuard® leg zips means you can pull them on over bulky walking boots the moment the weather turns. An internal top popper then allows you to vent fast if conditions become excessively warm or humid. Weather protection is provided by lightweight but durable recycled Pertex Shield® with a PFC-free DWR treatment. With 2.5 layers, it is softer and more supple than a traditional three-layer shell, making it extremely comfortable to wear, as well as lightweight and compact when strapped to your pack or stowed in a pocket.
Breathable, waterproof and windproof, with an articulated knee, a half-elasticated waist and a drawcord-adjustable hem, this is an easy-carry pant for a wide range of mountain activities.
Our Verdict
Rab's Downpour Plus 2.0 Pants are an environmentally friendly, fully featured waterproof overtrouser. The hydrostatic head of 20,000 is a lot higher than many of our lighter alternatives giving keeping you dryer for longer.
The pants have full length waterproof zips that can be unzipped from the waist band or the ankle. This means they can easily be put on over boots saving you time as you rush to get them on when the rain comes down. This flexibility also enables you to vent if needs be. There is a simple waist adjustment and the ankle cuffs can be cinched in. Like many overtrousers the Downpour Plus has no pockets.
