I have first lite rain pants…. They are the first FL item I’m not satisfied with…. They are too snug and loud to slip on and off. What does everyone use for a rain pant? Something to keep in the pack and slip on over your pants when needed. Preferably slip on without taking boots off

I have the First Lites as well. I've had them for probably five years and have used them about 5 times. I'd probably get the SG M5 pants, but there have been very few times I've needed rain pants.

I’ve got a pair of north face ones that work great. Have worn them hunting several times with some good longjohns underneath.

I wear out a pair about every other year, and mostly live in them about half the time on hunts up here. I really like OR pants, of all the ones I've tried. They fit well and have articulated knees so they don't grab as much when you are walking. They have side zip and its easy to put on/take off over boots. ~$150.

No one has mentioned the Catch-and-Release brand and their Tesla rain set (jacket/pants). Has anyone tried them? The lower leg is zippered, for slipping them on over boots.

Sitka Stormfront. Lived in them for 2 weeks on Prince of Wales in 2021. I was bone dry inside.
I wear them when the brush is wet here also . They still look brand new.

I have the Blackovis Hailstone Rain Pants. They have a dual zipper that goes all the way up to your hip. The dual zipper is nice for venting the pants at the hip as well. Blackovis Hailstone pants only come in 2 solid colors (Grey/Brown), which makes them about half the price of some of the Rain Pants mentioned above.
