[pct-l] O2 RainShield Rain Pants

[Jim Bravo]

My O2 rain gear weighs, on my scale, 4.1 oz for the large pants, and
6.1 oz for the top, which has an integrated hood with drawstring. If I
recall correctly the pair cost around $50 last year. Recommended by
Radar a couple of years ago...

I've used them a few times in pretty good rainfall and they did fine.
Not sure how the fabric will hold up to brush along the trail, but
they seem pretty stout. The waistband tended to slip downward as I
hiked so sometimes I looked like a punk from the hood. Learned to put
the waistband way up under the hip belt to hold it in place better,
making me look more like my usual nerd geezer self. The yellow color
is the next best thing to a SPOT for search and rescue, making it easy
to find the body.
