Hi y’all, long time lurker, first-time poster so apologies if this isn’t the right format for this.

I love browsing AliExpress for gear and recently found that Naturehike is selling a 15D Sil-Nylon rain jacket and pants for less than $50 USD (saw it at around $40 USD during a sale), with a claimed weight of 220grams for the set (in Large). Saw some positive comments on this sub from u/flymonk and thought it would be worth a try. Received it yesterday so here are my first impressions:

I’m usually a medium but since there are no pit-zips I went for a large for better mechanical ventilation. Definitely true to (western) sizing and fits like a large rain jacket would on me.

Looks like it’s using a sil/pu coating, with taped seams on the inside. Cuffs and waist are a non-adjustable elastic, there’s a 1/4 zipper on the front, and a very slightly shaped beak on the hood.

The pants have a very minimalist drawstring made from shock cord. There are zippers on the pant legs with a piece of sil-nylon inside to let you adjust the ankle cuff but still keeping water out

In terms of weight, the pants come in at 128g, the top at 139g, coming in at 267g for the pair, higher than the advertised weight, but still very respectable for what it is. Included stuff sack is another 11g

Hoping to use these instead of my Frogg Toggs as I got tired of ripping the pants and having to patch small holes on the top (not to mention the weight savings are pretty significant). Will try it out on trail in the coming months (depending on the weather) and will report back, I suspect it will be “waterproof” but quite stuffy.
