Again made with eVent material, Rab’s Latok Alpine pants (€231) are waterproof and incredibly breathable but just in case you ever are too hot and bothered (on say a wet but muggy day, they are equipped with full length zips to allow air in. These zips are also very hand when it comes to putting them on or taking off the pants over clumpy boots.
These pants are cut so nicely and have enough stretch in the fabric that you’ll forget you are wearing waterproofs as they feel practically like ordinary trousers.
