Our Verdict

The Patagonia M10 Storm Pants are an impressive choice for those who need reliable waterproof protection without the extra weight. These trousers offer a superb balance of durability, comfort, and freedom of movement, making them ideal for tackling challenging mountain weather conditions.

Crafted from a PFC-free, 3-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell, the M10 Storm Pants are eco-friendly and effective at keeping you dry. The 100% recycled nylon ripstop fabric is remarkably lightweight yet tough enough to withstand the rigours of the outdoors. Weighing just 229 grams for a medium, these pants are easy to pack, making them a perfect choice for those prioritising space and weight.

The pants feature a unique four-point gusset and articulated knees, which provide excellent mobility for high steps and technical climbs. The elasticated cuffs with tie-down loops ensure a secure fit around your boots, preventing water ingress. The concealed RECCO® reflector adds a layer of safety, while the secure thigh pocket is a practical touch for keeping small essentials close at hand.
