Mountain Equipment Odyssey Pant Men's Waterproof Overtrousers XL Black

High on a ridge with rain sweeping in and no shelter in sight, the Odyssey Pant is the overtrouser mountaineers and trekkers trust to keep the trip going. These waterproof pants use GORE-TEX PACLITE® PLUS fabric to deliver serious storm protection without the bulk of a traditional hard shell. Full-length side zips let you pull them on over boots in seconds, while the elasticated waist and articulated knees move with you on steep ground. At just 40 denier, they pack down small enough to live in the lid of your pack until the moment you need them.
