These waterproof trousers offer trustworthy storm protection. They are reliable in foul weather and light enough to carry on every trip.

Rab says: 

When dark skies threaten to disrupt your day on the trail, these versatile, highly packable waterproof pants always warrant a place in your pack. Built with a soft, flexible 2.5-layer Pertex® Shield fabric, they deflect a downpour while remaining comfortable over long distances. With ¾ length side zips allowing you to pull them on quickly over boots, they’re an essential for mountain hikes in uncertain conditions, offering dependable protection when the weather turns.

Our Verdict

The updated Rab Downpour 2.5L Pants strike a smart balance between weather protection, weight, and simplicity. At 246g (UK12), they're light but feel robust. The 2.5-layer Pertex Shield fabric sheds rain effectively and breathes well enough for active days without feeling clammy.

The ¾-length side zips work well over boots, and the storm flap keeps things tidy and secure. The fit is relaxed without flapping, and articulated knees give enough freedom of movement for steeper or technical ground. There are no pockets, which I occasionally miss, even if it's just somewhere to warm hands, but the clean design helps keep bulk and weight down. The lack of a stuff sack isn’t a deal-breaker, but it would have been helpful.
