Montbell UL Wind Pants

Staggeringly light at only 2.4 oz., these pants promise to protect from a fair amount of rain and plently of wind.

I suspect that they would also be a better mozzie barrier than my current pants.

I wish they made them in lighter colors to help keep the bugs away – but it’s hard to complain at this weight.

Not sure these would stand up to a morning of bushwacking, but I usually only wear pants at night to keep bugs out and an extra layer of warmth.

Available from prolite gear for $68.

    You said ‘I wish they made them in lighter colors to help keep the bugs away’.

    Is this really true? I also thought that yellow was insect heaven!

    I can only imagine they would be so thin that the mosquitoes would eat right thru them.

    they hold up pretty well to mozzy bites…
