DCF Rain Kilt
Perfect for the summer rain. Nice and light for warmer rains, and the zipper gives more room for a longer stride and some extra circulation.
– Jennifer S., ★★★★★
When the rain begins to fall and the trail becomes a river, our Dyneema® Composite Fabric Rain Kilt offers a unique solution that keeps you dry while providing ample ventilation in warm weather storms. A great option for ultralight waist to knee rain protection, the Dyneema® Composite Fabric Rain Kilt works great when combined with our Vertice Rain Jacket or Groundsheet Poncho. Also available in a Waterproof Breathable Material version.
If you're not into a kilt but still into staying dry, Check out the rest of our Rain Gear.
The zipper will never blow open or leak, and you can unzip it as necessary to allow for a long stride.
The kilt has a conical shape to allow a longer stride at the bottom and has an elastic draw cord at the waist which can cinch the waist down to any smaller waist size.
When opened flat, the kilt can be used as a small ground cloth for breaks or for storing gear on wet ground. The kilt has tie out loops at the four corners, and at the center of the sides for other uses.
Packs up tiny. Just roll the kilt up and secure it with the waist elastic. No stuff sack necessary.
