If you are looking for carry some light and affordable rain pants in case of an down pour on your commute to work or home, then these are them.
Could you use these on a long tour? Yes, but there are better products out there, which breathe, and would be worth paying more for.
Waterproof but definitely not breathable.
Good rain pants for on and off cycling. I've worn pants under these during a rain storm and had dry pants by the time I made it to my destination (after about a 30-minute urban ride). Would recommend for anyone who needs rain pants.
Packs down in it's bag, seems good quality, but runs a little small. Might want to get next size up. Haven't used on a long trip yet.
These pants are indeed water proof, and breathe proof. These are hot pants! I was sweating just getting my bike ready to roll. Too hot even for a 40 degree rainy day.
I 've worn these pants for a full 300k ride (190 miles) 34 inch of rain and 10,000 feet of climbing. Everything was wet and cold but the SP Storm Pants kept me reasonably drier and more comfortable. The pants have good velcro placement for a good fit that does not cause extra wind resistance when riding my bike. These pants are my favorite shield when it is cold or wet outside. They are compact and lightweight enough to stuff in back jersey pocket.
Durable, def. waterproof, great overall pants. Would have been nice to have more reflective details. But otherwise fit well, and are comfortable.
Nice pants for the price. Simple yet functional. I normally fall between a medium and large and don't like baggy bike clothes so i ordered a medium. They fit close but not tight with a much more tailored fit than my previous Marmot pants.
Ordered Xl- 5'10", 210, athletic build. Way long, very slim fitting. Slim biker fit overall, love the lower leg fasteners.
I intended to use this whenever Im riding in extreme rainy weather. It is built to fit over cycling pants, but the sizing is questionable, Im not able to cinch the pant legs to avoid the spokes, etc.
Water proof to the point of not breathable, get wet just from sweating in the pants while riding. I might stay cooler under very cold and wet conditions but under the conditions I have rode in with the pants I am very wet from the sweat that collects on the inside of the pants to the point it is almost not worth using. At this time of year due to time constraints cycle only one time a week
I use these pants in the rain, sleet, and snow commuting to work every day and have yet to be disappointed.
If you ride everyday you need these ,they pack up small
I keep mine in in my top tube bag if it starts to rain I stop and put them on and continue on warm and dry no problem .
Not really meant to fit over regular clothes without ordering a size up.
Used on a five day trip in the mountains with lots of rain but no downpours. Really nice design and great rain protection. No issues.
I have not had to use them yet, but they are light and fit easily into a Jersey back pocket.. Thus far, I have only had to carry them..
Use on daily commute. They keep me dry and are easy to put on and take off over pants. True yo size fit w no zippers to snag and tear.
I've used the pants in some pretty rainy weather (Washington State) and they work just fine. The only problem I have is that the ones I got are one size smaller than what I thought I ordered so it's a real show for anyone watching me try to slither into them. -)
Even though they got a tough review from another rider, I bought these. I found them to be a useful product. Yes, there is a little sweat inside but it is not anything like how wet I'd be if I wasn't wearing them. I am also from Portland, and let me tell you, you just can't go without some type of rain gear here. There isn't any kind that won't let you sweat some, so you might be happy with these.
I like the Velcro on the outside that you use to fold and keep the pants leg out of the way of the chain. The only strike against these in my book is that I have to take off my work boots to get them on. They go right over cycling shoes, though.
