What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore the HydraDri 5. 0 Pant on a soaked backcountry descent and never felt the rain get through. The knee and seat reinforcements shrugged off a few sketchy slides, and the leg vents kept me from overheating on the climbs back up."Rain hammers the canopy overhead as we drop into the trail, mud already kicking up onto our shins. This is exactly the kind of ride the HydraDri 5. 0 Pant from Leatt was built for. Instead of turning back at the first dark cloud, we push further into the wet, trusting the fabric to keep the cold and damp where they belong, outside. The real test comes on the long, technical descent, when a low branch and a loose root send us sliding onto one knee. We're back up and riding before the mud even settles, thanks to reinforced panels that take the hit so our skin doesn't have to. By the time we roll back into camp, soaked trail and all, we're already talking about the next storm we want to ride through.
