Mountain Hardwear: Typhoon Pants - 5 Reviews

Matthew Patrick - 2008-01-23
Solid Pants, Need a 3/4 lenghth zipper The pants are well made with good attention to detail. The material seems quite durable considering the overall weight of only ~11oz. I guess time will tell. The overall fit works well for me. They have enough room to wear over a pair of lightweight hiking pants, but are not at all baggy. I am 6'1", weigh 195 lbs, and normally wear 34x32 pants. Large fits me well, the integrated belt make the adjustment a snap. Passed the shower test as expected with a gore-tex product. Only Con: the 9" zipper. Better than nothing, but it is not enough for quick/easy entry if you already have your boots on and a storm is brewing. The short zipper does not allow for ventilation if you are planning on using them in a hot/humid area.

Good fit, dry, comfortable, light weight Consider what you intend to use these for. I used these as ski pants and the buckles on my boots sliced right through the leg. I have to patch them after five uses. The material is too lightweight for ski pants. Should be fine as raingear. I will save them for rain pants and buy a sturdier ski pant.

Ideal for motorcycling in rain These pants are just what I needed as rain gear for motorcycle touring. Sizes do seem to run small. I got XL since I will be wearing them over other pants--perfect fit. The material is comfortable and the cord around the ankles draws tight around my boots. No pockets but I have no need for them. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this product.
