Review on Columbia Children's Cypress Brook II Pant by Melvin Goerge

We ordered these pants for a multi-day summer hike and rafting with rain forecast. They'd probably be good for broken clouds or light rain, but they didn't keep my kids dry or warm when we were in persistent rain for long periods of time. On the other hand, they are lightweight, easy to pack and dry quickly over a campfire or in the sun. Overall I was happy to have them with us as they at least offered some protection but to do it again in heavy rain I would have ordered a better and more expensive product.
