I've been searching awhile now for a good pair of Gore Tex (or similar) rain/wet snow pants for colder weather hiking on those fowl weather days with sideways rain and heavy winds in the 30's and 40's. I searched the forums and found several recommendations but they are fairly old posts and some of the links didn't work so I assume these products are no longer available. Curious if anyone has any current recommendations on brand, fabric, etc. from recent years. I've tried on a variety of pants now at REI, EMS and Bass Pro Shops and find they're too much like ski pants and less like hiking pants (bulky, some had suspenders, not enough pockets,etc). I currently wear EMS Endo Trek pants, which I like quite a bit, but they are pretty warm for temps above the 20's and I'm not sure that they are actually waterproof. Looking for pants that could be thrown on over lighter pants as conditions change. Any recommendations on brand and features I should be looking for would be appreciated.
