For ultralight hikers seeking effective weather protection with maximum ventilation, the Liteway Rain Skirt is an excellent addition to their pack. However, it might not offer full coverage in severe conditions.
Liteway says:
RAIN SKIRT SIL – a hiking skirt to protect against rain or wind.
An ultralight and compact solution to protect your lower body from rain and wind without losing ventilation. It is worn over your main clothes, or it can be used as underwear if you have washed all your clothes on a long hike.
The waist circumference of 142 cm allows you to wear it even over winter clothes. Thanks to the elastic band, it is reliably fixed on the waist, and the cut in the back does not constrain movements.
Produced in two sizes: М - 70сm length and L - 95сm length.
Our Verdict
The Liteway Rain Skirt is an ultralight and compact solution for hikers seeking quick-to-deploy wet weather protection without sacrificing breathability. Weighing 56g, it’s an easy-to-pack addition to your kit. Perfect for keeping your lower body dry without the bulk or heat retention of full waterproof trousers, the skirt's design ensures excellent ventilation.
A key benefit of the rain skirt is its ease of movement, thanks to the cut at the back, which prevents restriction during walking. However, your lower legs may still be exposed in heavy rain or wind, making it less effective in harsher conditions than full-length waterproofs.
