I have ski pants that have a zipper up each side but they are double
layer fabric, too hot for hiking. My winter gaiters should do for
March but I would hate to have to carry them in August. I make my own
cotton gaiters that keep the dirt out of my boots and are loose and
cool. I do buy a size larger for layering if I have to. With all the
cargo pockets and extra muscles my regular size would not be roomy
enough to move.<br>

<pre wrap="">You might consider wearing ankle gaiters which will fit over your boot tops
and keep the rain from draining into them. I know that won't solve the fit
problem. I like to have rain pants that are a size larger than I need so
they don't bind up as I move around. I tried Frogg Toggs and was not very
impressed with the durability and breathability. I wish a company would
make very light weigh rain pants with full zippers for better ventilation
which would also make them easier to pull on and take off with footwear on.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Subject: [pct-l] Women's rain pants....
Has anyone had the problem of rain pants being too short? It seems the
standard inseam length is 31 inches, not long enough to keep water from
dumping into my boots. I have Frogg Toggs which I call my Clown Suit.
The elastic was so tight, wrist and jacket bottom, the jacket would ride
up and expose my backside when packing up my tent, etc. Also the legs
are too short and there are too many openings at the top of the pants,
that leak. I'm about average height, 5'7." I bought a pair of Sierra
Design light weight rain pants that are also too short. As I bend over
to fasten the velcro tab the legs rise over the top of my boot. Has
anyone found rain pants with leg lengths longer than 31" in a women's
style?
