Customer Images
Light weight and packable but Terrible durability.
I have had 3 different pants and all 3 of them have had the crotch seam split within wearing them for a few hours. The first one I assumed was because the sizing was wrong but it happened with its replacement and the 2nd pair I had gotten for work. It is super packable and light weight but it had 0 durability to the point where I would take a knee and the crotch splits. I would not recomend these pants to anyone who does more then walking in them. I love alot of the OR kit but these pants have been a major dissapointment.
Blown seat seams
First time using these pants and the crotch seam blew out within a few days. Only used them as camp pants on a bicycle tour. While I understand that durability is sacrificed somewhat when choosing an ultralight product, these pants were a disappointment for sure, especially considering the price. The Helium jacket and bivy however are holding up well.
Heavier than specs listed
Nice pants, a little crinkly, OK fit, but both Medium and Large- short of the 2023 helium are more than 1/3 heavier than listed under the specs.
Packable and Light
Not a downpour pants, but packable and light enough to always have in your backpack -- ideal windbreaker.
lightweight and rain proof
pants are rain proof bur could use better ventilation
