Exceptionally light waterproof trousers built for fast, efficient movement in wet conditions.
Montbell says:
Extremely lightweight and packable rainwear (current Versalite), Ultra-thin 7D SUPER DRY-TEC offers excellent breathability, Ideal for ultralight hiking and trail running
Our Verdict
At 126g (Medium), the Versalite Super-Dry-Tec Pants use a 3-layer membrane with a 7-denier Ballistic Airlight nylon face fabric. The result is a waterproof rating above 20,000mm and outstanding breathability. The fabric feels delicate yet surprisingly resilient for regular trail use, and the construction keeps bulk to a minimum.
Fit is relaxed, with enough room for base layers and easy movement. The side zips make pulling them on over boots straightforward, while the articulated knees maintain comfort on steep climbs. Breathability is excellent during continuous activity, preventing the clammy feel common in heavier rain shells. Durability is fair given the fabric weight; they handle trekking and trail use confidently, but require care if bushwacking or scrambling
