[pct-l] Rain Pants

[CClark]

Kailin,
I have the same concerns you do about getting cold on the trail.  I bought a rain outfit from O2.  They make garish yellow raingear for cyclists, but it's lightweight and inexpensive.  Get the "original" style.  The hooded jackets run large, so order at least one size too small.
If you get a tear, they are easy to fix with clear packing tape. 
I also wear a 2oz emergency poncho over my pack.  It makes a great combination and keeps me warm.

I am looking for rain pant recs. I'm a thin female who gets cold easily so
something that is actually waterproof is important. I'm not interested in
going the kilt route. I've been close to pulling the trigger on the Zpacks
option but 160$ hurts the bank. Can anyone recommend a cheaper option
that's tried and true?

Thanks!
Kailin
