I love these pants. The only area I can find to improve would be the fit. I have the smalls yet I still can fit two of me in the pants. Also the velcro strap on the calf is too short to effective tighten the pants. The weather proofing, however, is outstanding and I have found most rain pants too large for my frame.
Easy to put on, waterproof, as breathable as can be expected (the side mesh zips are very nice). I wish there was some built in belt or a way to make them tighter around the waist. Leg zips are fantastic, are are the reflective accentsvelcro around the ankles. I will bike 12 miles to work every day that there isn't icesnow on the road, and these are great to have. They are a bit bulky if you have to pack them, but I expect that's the price to pay for waterproof breatheable. I've only ridden them for 2 (very wet) months, so I can't speak to their long term effectiveness.
I use these once a week when its actually wet enough to merit in Seattle, and in the snow, BC skiing every weekend. Love the side vents, the reflective bits, the velcro straps.
Suspenders are a must tho, spent more on those. And the zippers get caught on the inside fabric often. Could use a couple more pockets too. The one is not quite enough.
I absolutely love these pants. I have struggled with the short-lived warerproof life of cheaper pants, and I did not realize there was better out there. Was I ever wrong. These will change your attitude about riding in the wet.
