I’ve been on the lookout for a highly breathable, fast wicking and windproof walking trouser to replace my Berghaus Deluge over trousers which I've had for some time now, the Berghaus Deluge still come highly recommended as an over trouser and have never have failed me, their only failure is in the name itself 'over trouser'
As a fell walker getting caught out in the odd downpour comes with the territory although I do feel I’ve seen my fair share of ‘downing pack and reaching for the over trousers. The Rab Vapour Rise puts an end to this almost instantly. Although the Vapour Rise don’t claim to be fully waterproof they are highly wicking and incredibly windproof, add a fleece lining along with excellent breathability together with crampon patches around the inside hem to avoid the hem being damaged the Vapour Rise is an all round fantastic Winter trouser. |
