Amazing! My son bought this to take to Philmont. He called it a rain kilt. Everyone else in his group had to struggle with their rain pants pulling over muddy or dirty shoes and he was able to put this on quickly. He stayed completely dry! It’s an amazing purchase!
Expensive but does the trick, very good quality!

It’s perfect, lightweight easy to move in
This rain skirt became my new obsession on the Colorado trail. I started hiking the trail, unfortunately, at the peak of monsoon season. For the first 4 days, I hiked in 4-12 hours of torrential rain and hail daily. I met many sad and wet hikers, whose gear has soaked through. I remained perfectly dry and warm in my lightheart gear rain skirt and jacket. Like, shockingly warm and dry, given the conditions. Plus, layering the jacket over the skirt (wearing it at a high waist) kept me extra warm around my middle. It was so easy to just throw on the skirt over my hiking pants and roll up my pants whenever the storm clouds blew in. I'm completely convinced that non-breathable, silicone based rain protection is the BEST way to hike. I have even switched my tent specifically to a silicone based one with similar results. I will never go back to DWR.
