Outdoor Research Helium Rain Pants

Durable, windproof, and shockingly breathable, these waterproof pants are made for outdoor adventure. Leveraging Diamond Fuse technology—a fabric engineered to be lightweight yet durable through extended wear and washing—these expert-designed men’s rain pants have all the details you need to stay dry, including taped seams, a drawcord waist, and lower leg zips so you can pull them off without taking off your boots. And, did we mention these pants pack down to the size of your palm?

Keep these handy on your next bike tour, or fold them into their stuff-sack back pocket and throw them in your pack. When a downpour rolls in, slide them on, then carry on feeling so comfortable, you’ll almost forget it’s raining.
