Helly-Hansen Mens Loke Waterproof Breathable Rain Pants

Only wore in the rain once but they did keep me dry. I'm 5' 10" and weigh 185# and the size large fits me fine over a pair of hiking pants. Seams are taped and construction seems good. I expect this from Helly Hanson. I have the matching Loke rain jacket and they are both quality items. Can't speak to much on durability as I have only wore them once on a 5 mile hike but they seem to be pretty durable especially for the price. Will update review if things go south and you need to know about any defects.

I was able to inspect and try on these pants and the jacket while visiting Epcot at Walt Disney World. After reading about these products, I stumbled on them being sold in the shops in the Norway section. Both the jacket and the pants appear well made. Because it is currently winter in Wisconsin (with only frozen precipitation), I have not been able to wear these out in the woods yet. I hope to take these on my upcoming trek to Philmont this summer.

Great pants. But, they waited a week to ship them.

I ordered these pants because I wanted a 100% waterproof pant that was breathable and light weight. Well upon recieving them I checked out the design of the pant and found out that that are definitely not water proof . The design of the two pockets are a big fail . First they are regular type zippers , they have mesh on the inside which allows any water to enter in thru the zipper and then go straight into the inside of the pant also the small flap over the zipper faces to the front which allows for rain to go straight into the zipper. They should have made the pocket sealed on the inside as to let let moisture get inside the pant also the flap should be facing toward the rear and they could have put the type of zipper with the tight sealing cover over it.

XL is huge, normally I'd take L but Helly Hensen usually runs small. Not this time. Maybe it's just that they are way baggier than the photo depicts. Also they are very thin. Sending back.

They are waterproof as they say. Was easy on and off. The only complaint was the size of the leg opening is huge. Great in one aspect but I had to roll them up to not trip.

Teaching in the rain and snow. Kept my butt dry on the chair lifts.

I've worn these in down pours two times on five mile walks with my dogs. Both times I returned with my legs pretty wet on the thighs. I walk pretty fast so I don't know if it's condensation or if there is actual seepage. I just know that I haven't stayed dry wearing them. I will have to wear them without doing anything physical to see if it's just condensation, but so far, I'm not getting any sort of breathability.
