Our Verdict
Haglofs' L.I.M Gore-Tex Pant have been updated with the use of Paclite Plus fabric. The 30D fabric is certainly durable, highly waterproof and much more breathable than the previous version. Although the Paclite is still designed to be lightweight and low bulk for when it's stowed away the 'Plus' version of the fabric is much more breathable and therefore more comfortable when you're wearing it for extended periods of time.
The waist is slightly elasticated to provide a snug fit to prevent water ingress. There is draw cord adjustment on the ankles. The full length water resistant zips make it quick easy to get the trousers on over boots, important when the rain hits suddenly. The zips also enable you to vent if your pushing hard in showery weather and don't want to take the pants on and off.
