UOG TOP PICK - Spirit Lite Gore-Tex Pants Spirit Lite Gore-Tex Pants use Paclite Plus fabric, making them lightweight, breathable, and packable waterproof over trousers. Comfortable to wear all day, the duel zips aid with ventilation, and they are easy to pack and get off and on, one of our top picks.
Montane says:
The Spirit Lite Pants are designed for mountain walking and long-distance trekking alike. Made using a waterproof GORE-TEX Paclite® Plus shell fabric and fully taped seams, these pants offer total protection from the elements in a lightweight and packable package. An elasticated waist with adjustable drawcord and a regular fit combine to make these pants an essential item for any mountain activity where packability is paramount.
Our Verdict
Made from a durable, highly waterproof and much more breathable 40D Paclite Plus fabric. Paclite is lightweight and low bulk, so it packs down small; the 'Plus' version of the fabric is much more breathable and, therefore, more comfortable when wearing for extended periods. The Paclite and the ¾ length, two-way zips give you breathable, waterproof that can quickly ventilate heat.
The waist is slightly elasticated to provide a snug fit to prevent water ingress. The quarter-length, water-resistant zips make it quick to change in and out of the trousers, regardless of whether you use boots or trail runners.
