Re: rain pants

pair of goretex ski pants- I have one I bought for $50 numerous years ago
and they have a wide ankle area to fit over ski boots that had velcro to
tighten. can be rolled up and squeezed into the pocket for storage. I would
gather if not found on clearance at a ski/sporting shop it would be an
expensive option however.
My Joe Rocket Alter ego pants have a liner (nylon I think) that they say is
waterproof liner- I doubt it really is if it's simply nylon, but the whole
set was $129 from Newenough.com
