Customer Reviews Columbia Storm Surge™ Pant

These pants are great! I was looking for an alternative to snow/ski pants- less bulk but just was waterproof. These do the job perfectly! I use them regularly for XC skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing adventures. They are holding up really well in the knee and bum area on the jagged ice. They fit well too and allow plenty of movement for my 5'6, size 10 frame. A regular inseam is just right.

These keep you warm & dry!! AND as a bonus they look great!

Through several downpours and non-stop drizzling I stayed high and dry. It was nice to get to enjoy some of the benefits of fishing in the rain without feeling like a drowned muskrat. I found my body temperature stayed at a comfortable range too with one exception. When the sun broke through on a few occasions (though never for very long) I found the black pants to attract the heat of the sun. I'm hoping Columbia comes out with these pants in some lighter colors. Maybe some that pair up nicely with their jackets for a polished, pro-uniform look on the water. I'll give these pants an 8 out of 10. I'm deducting a point because there are no pockets and because of black being the only available color. Other than that, this is a great product that I would recommend to anyone who wants to be able to fish rain or shine.

They certainly keep the weather out and that is number one. The pull on waist is an improvement, but I find the fit a bit straight for my curvy figure, so a little snug in the hip/thigh and loose in the waist. The velcro tabs at the ankles are great but I wish they could go tighter for bike riding.

I have tried on many different pairs of waterproof pants, but until now, I just couldn't find a pair that didn't need to have at least three inches taken off the hem. With the velcro at the ankle, I can snug the hem and not be stepping on them as I walk. Great feature! The fit is true, just enough room for a base layer. I have yet to wear them in a heavy rain, so I can not comment.

Fit perfect, love the elastic waist! Nice to keep me dry in the rain!

I work in a grooming salon as a bather, and really needed some durable water-proof pants. These are absolutely awesome! The water just slides off of them. They're super comfortable and breath well. I'm definitely going to be ordering a few more pairs of these.

Love it....

The first time I bought a Colombia product was a few hears ago when I bought a vest for my husband. He loved it. So I decided to buy the pants and a rain jacket for my self because I am always outdoors-rain or shine. I was not disappointed. I received the pants on time. They fit perfectly and I know that I would use them often when I travel to Alaska or for many of my outdoor activities. They are light, warm, comfortable, and very practical.

I love these pants. I'm a dog groomer and working with water is an everyday thing. These pants are great and waterproof so getting soaked is no longer a problem.

I got these for work and I love them! I got a small and was worried that they would be a little short, but they were prefect. I've worn them a couple times so far and they have kept me nice and dry.

Purchased for track team and are working perfectly

nice fit, true to size, comfortable and light weight, kept me dry, no sweating inside of pants or jacket.

love the rain pants, light weight

Fab rain pants, wore over jeans to a cold and rainy soccer game, stayed dry!

I wore these rain pants for a glacier tour in Iceland where it rained nonstop. My legs stayed dry the entire time. These pants only get four stars because of the fit. These are too long for me but too tight across the hips. Also, these pants have no pockets that is a drawback.

Bought for outdoor activities while in Alaska where it rains 300/365 days a year. Easy to pack and good fit to put over other pants.

Great lightweight pants for my fishing trip to Alaska & hiking

I bought those pants after hiking in the rain. When I want for hiking in the rain with those pants I wasnt wet. They are great and waterproof. Even when I got hot they still felt comfortable

They have a perfect height and fit. Looks very comfy

Bought the short length. Even with that, still too long. These just run long (short or regular length). Seems like they would be water resistant, hopefully water proof. Wish these had pockets.

The quality is good but the measurements for fit were off. I had to return the regulars and get the short.

The fit was perfect. Only issue I have is there is no pocket to hold a phone or wallet/keys. They are great for rainy days going for a walk/run or running errands.

These are fine for being waterproof but I need them to go over my hiking boot. These have netting inside that catches on your boots.

Straight fit with no stretch or curve in butt area.
