    Fit Guide

    Overtrouser fit with plenty of room for layering underneath. Designed to be worn over your mid-layer pants, so the measurements are therefore larger than our mid-layer and casual pants.

    Measure Up

    Lay your favourite pants flat on a solid even surface. Refer to the image and measure the full waist and inseam. Compare to your desired pants size chart to find your best fit.

    The garment waist measurements may vary as we've added extra room for comfort in different fabrics.

      Special!!!

      These Downpour hunting pants are so good blue haired vegans are thinking about joining me on a hunt. I stomped through mud, soaked grass, and puddles big enough to make the Hume Highway pot holes look small, and somehow my legs stayed drier than a CFMEU worker when a sigle drop of rain falls 10km from the big build. They're comfy, tough as woodpecker lips and quiet enough that even the Predator didn't hear me coming. Highly recommend.

      Amazing value for money!

      This light weight rain gear is holding up marvelously against our South Island, West Coast deluges. Very breathable and comfortable.

      Epic pants

      Recently brought these for a bit of winter hiking in Tasmania and used them for three days in a row while there. I’m happy to say they worked as advertised. Kept me dry and comfy in 4 degree temps and rain and breathed surprisingly well. Whatever there made from it tuff, I slid about 10m down a rocky track on my ass and not a mark on the pants.

      My only complaint isn’t about the pants themselves but the sizing. Based on my pair they do run large and I reckon if not planning on wearing another pair of pants under them you could go a size smaller then normal, at least that was the case for me.

      Great pants

      Great product. Really blocks the wind and repels water well. Fabric is nice and moves easily without making a swishy plastic noise. Highly recommended if you wanted waterproof pants
