Columbia Kids' Cypress Brook III Rain Pants

Fit the selected size over the clothes the child will wear on the outing. A Large label cannot tell you whether the waist and cuff work over those layers. Have the child sit, take a step and handle the closures so that the practical arrangement is clear before departure.

The waterproof rain-pant title identifies the claimed role, but model-specific seam and material details remain important. Do not copy specifications from another Columbia rain product. Consider how the layer will be packed, put on and dried alongside everyday trousers. Its usefulness comes from serving that separate weather role without an awkward hem or excessive bulk at the waist.
