Choose an Ultralight Rain Kilt For Hiking in Shorts & Trail Runners
Choose an ultralight rain kilt, rain skirt, or rain wrap because they are the lightest and most breathable way to stay dry from knees to waist. They synergize perfectly with shorts and trail runners, and are comfier and more effective than rain pants in moderate to warm climates. For the purposes of this buyer’s guide, we will use kilt, skirt, and wrap interchangeably.
Each featured rain kilt weighs less than three ounces, some less than two ounces. They are all made by reputable brands and have positive user reviews. We have not tested every model in this guide. Instead, these recommendations are grounded in a mixture of backcountry experience, meta-study, statistical comparison, user-review analysis, and brand reputation. We’ve studied the marketplace so you don’t have to.
