What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Stratoburst Stretch Rain Pants are the kind you forget you packed—until the skies open up. They’re super light, move naturally thanks to the stretch fabric, and the full-length zips make quick changes mid-hike easy. Simple, breathable, and trail-ready."

When the forecast turns unpredictable, we count on the Outdoor Research Stratoburst Stretch Rain Pants to keep us dry without slowing us down. The Ventia 2.5-layer construction seals out wind and rain while staying breathable enough for high-output climbs. Recycled polyester adds stretch for unrestricted movement, and the full-length side zips let us pull them on over boots or dump heat fast when the clouds clear. With articulated knees, a comfortable adjustable waistband, and an easy packable design, these pants are our go-to layer for any wet-weather hike.

Not what's in the description or picture

Familiarity:: I returned this product before using it
Size Bought:: Medium
Height:: 6' 1"
Weight:: 185

Just received my Stratoburst rain pants and they are different from what is in the product description and picture. Nice for what they are, but not what I wanted. "Drawcord adjustable waist allows us to get the perfect fit". Nope, elastic waistband and 4 loops for suspenders. "Adjustable drawcord cuffs to keep out the cold wind". Nope, no drawcord in the cuff. The picture also shows belt loops. None to be seen on the pants they sent me. Will be returning

Fantastic rain pants!

Seemingly a perfect fit for me. 6’1” Ish 190. Waste and Length are good. They breathe well zipper length is awesome. Keep you dry. Just used them on a crazy nights of rain, ice pellets, hail, snowflakes, and the following morning in the 30s in the wind River range. Super happy with the fit l, the quality and the comfort. So light you stuff them in the bottom of your pack and forget about them until you need them.
