These rain pants infuse the durability and lightweight waterproof protection of the Helium Collection that's been tested and trusted since 2010. Packing down to the size of your palm, these make a great emergency layer or dependable option for fast-and-light adventures.

Durable, windproof, and shockingly breathable, these waterproof pants are made for outdoor adventure. Leveraging Diamond Fuse technology—a fabric engineered to be lightweight yet durable through extended wear and washing—these expert-designed women’s rain pants have all the details you need to stay dry, including taped seams, a drawcord waist, and lower leg zips so you can pull them off without taking off your boots (you’re welcome). And, did they mention these pants pack down to the size of your palm? Keep these handy on your next bike tour, or fold them into their stuff-sack back pocket and throw them in your pack. When a downpour rolls in, slide them on, then carry on feeling so comfortable, you’ll almost forget it’s raining.

Pertex® Diamond Fuse Technology

Pertex developed Diamond Fuse technology as a unique way of improving the durability and abrasion resistance of fabrics without adding any unnecessary weight. Diamond Fuse fabrics use yarns with unique diamond shaped filaments that lock together to create a durable and highly abrasion resistant fabric. This engineered structure allows Diamond Fuse fabrics to remain very stable over extended wear and washing.
