Sprayway have been producing practical and technical outdoor clothing since 1974. Formed in Manchester by two outdoor enthusiasts, the brand has gone onto kit out arctic explorers and National Park rangers yet their main focus remains keeping British people dry, warm and comfortable.

 Sprayway first started working with GORE-TEX in 1983 when they launched their first GORE-TEX jacket, since then Sprayway has gone on to make many types of clothing with GORE-TEX technology, the Sprayway Mountain Rainpant being one of them. My first impression of the Mountain Rainpant was positive, it didn’t have that cheap, synthetic feel.

The trousers themselves have 3 layers, the outer shell, the soft inner lining and most importantly that GORE-TEX layer that’s sandwiched in between, this allows the materials to breath keeping you both comfortable and dry. The waistband is really soft against the skin with a draw cord to keep the trousers in place, the Mountain Rainpant also features a long zip on the outside of each leg (with a protective insert to stop any rain getting in through the zip) which makes putting them on over hiking boots or even snowboarding boots easier. The Velcro ankle adjuster not only ensures you get the perfect fit but allows you to tighten them up to squeeze them inside a wellington boot.

One thing the Mountain Rainpant is missing is pockets, they are also pretty noisy, like walking around in a couple of bin liners, there is no chance of sneaking up on anybody whilst wearing these (just in case that’s something you are into). Aside from the reduced stalking opportunities the Sprayway Mountain Rainpants perform exceptionally well in bad weather, keeping you dry, cool and comfortable in even the heaviest of rain.
