Great wet weather protection with cycling in mind. There's a reinforced seated area, reflective material, pockets, and even a way to tighten the material around the ankle to lessen the likelihood you'll catch the pants in your chain. Only improvement I would make would be on the last point. I wish the fastener was not Velcro, but maybe snaps or some other attachment apparatus to make it more secure. But this isn't a knock on the pants, they work very well and I would definitely buy them again. I now look at Showers Pass as a brand I would depend on.

I do appreciate they've added a new zipper pocket, however they changed the fit a little in the crotch and waist so it's less generous than before. The zipper is a little shorter as well. I'm still a size large, but it's disappointing when you're hoping things fit consistently.
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.
Very nice well designed foul weather gear.
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.
They work very well for colder days during the fall, winter, and early spring commuting.

I bought these because I needed hard shell riding pants.
I already have the refuge jacket and love it, so I tried pants.
I really like all of the Showers Pass gear that I have
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.
Awesome pants. Not only for riding, but also for hunting, fishing, and going to football games in the Pacific Northwest
Good, could be great if they added some protection on the inside right leg. I already ripped them on the chainring.
