Nike ACG « Trailwind »

After wearing the Nike ACG Trailwind Storm-FIT ADV Waterproof Pants on several hikes and a few rainy days around town, I've come away pretty impressed. They definitely lean toward technical outdoor gear, but they're comfortable enough that I found myself reaching for them even for a casual outing. The fit strikes a nice balance between athletic and relaxed. There's enough room to move freely without feeling oversized or baggy, and they layer comfortably over shorts when the weather turns colder. For waterproof pants they feel surprisingly comfortable to wear for extended periods. The pants are well designed, I really like the tapered ankles and the ability to loosen the zipper to transition to a more relax fit. The cherry on top? there is a way to fold the pants into its own pocket and store it away effortlessly. Overall, these are premium waterproof pants that justify their price if you spend time outdoors in unpredictable weather. They kept me dry, moved well on the trail, and looked good enough that I didn't feel the need to change out of them afterward. This is a solid addition to my wardrobe and a pair of pants I can see myself using for years.

These pants are excellent for running! They have a clean aesthetic look--they are simple and well designed. Lightweight and loose, they make running comfortable. The only downside with these pants is the material is a bit noisy, but the breathability more than makes up for it. I've jogged in a variety of temperatures in them, and they feel great in anything above 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Love love love these pants, and they have become a staple for my runs!

I’ve used these a few times now for hiking and walking in wet weather, and they’ve been great. They’re much lighter than I expected and don’t have that bulky rain-pant feel. The material kept me dry during a pretty steady rain, and I was still comfortable moving around in them. I also like that they pack down small enough to throw in a backpack without taking up much space. The ankle zips are a nice touch and make them easy to put on over shoes when the weather suddenly changes. My only wish is that they had side pockets. Other than that, no complaints. Solid quality, comfortable fit, and they do exactly what I expect them to do.
