"Pant features. There is cargo pockets, there is different things for durability, these have got leather on the inside on the inseams so that you don't rip them. There is adjustability on the bottom so you can choose how baggy you want it down there. Insulation is also a big thing. I'd say don't use it and just wear whatever you want to wear based on how cold it is underneath your outerwear but you can get pants and a jacket with insulation different amounts as well but puffy jackets, you can get those too. I'd say those are too warm, they are only used for like really really cold days but if you are hiking a jump or something like that you are going to get really really hot and it is just, you are just going to be all wet and messy. I'd say get a hood, those help a lot. If you do not have a good you will really be sorry when it is really dumping out. As far as pants again you can also get totally water proof butts which means they have rubber on the inside so water will not get in. Another thing you want to look for if you are looking for water proof outerwear is the seams which is where the different parts of the jacket come together when it is made. They are taped together at the factory. There is different ways to do it. It will say on the jacket's tag how they did it. Critically taped seams are the best and a jacket with Gortex has the best water proof taped seams but that is where water comes into your jacket as well and you should ask your shop employee about your seams because that is important."
