The volcom species stretch pant gives you the solid 15k/15k waterproof and breathability rating, which is going to keep you protected no matter how bad the weather gets. All the seams are taped, so there is no way moisture can get inside the pants through the seams in the fabric. The stretch slim fit means they have a bit of give for when you are reaching for that grab, and the cut looks good without being super skinny. Match it up with a volcom jacket and you can zip them together for a weatherproof seal.
