Great Product
The rain skirt worked really well based on my first experience with it. I’m eagerly looking forward to the rain jacket’s development. Hoping for a brightly colored rain jacket to stand out in autumn’s gray!

Really Good!

I bought this skirt a bit skeptically, as none of the lightweight rain gear I’ve tried so far has really kept the water out. But I’m very happy with this one! It doesn’t make me sweat, it’s super lightweight and easy to put on, and best of all—it keeps the water out incredibly well!

Fantastic Product!

I bought these for my teenagers a couple of years ago, and rainy days on our hikes became much easier to manage. On gray days, they don’t even need to take the skirt off between rain showers, as it doesn’t make them sweat. You can also gather it up at the waist if needed. They’ve even changed clothes under the skirt, away from view, after evening washes or a quick dip. They also like to wear it around camp in the evening—no bug bites, so they can wear just base layer pants while cooking or hanging out. Now I’m back to buy one for myself; it’s been great seeing how practical these rain skirts have been for them!

Tested in Sweden’s Sarek

I bought this rain skirt as a trial and put it to the test on a hike in Sarek, Sweden, when it started to drizzle. I ended up wearing it for a large part of the hike because it was so comfortable; whether it was raining or just a bit chilly, it kept me warm while moving. I even kept it on when going through thick bushes, and the material showed no wear—only my legs got scratched! After 109.25 km and 3.5 days of hiking with river crossings, rocky areas, and dense vegetation, this skirt held up under tough conditions. I highly recommend it if you tend to get warm while on the move.
