Great fit and warm to boot
I am very impressed with these pants. The large fits perfect with my 36" waist & 34" inseam. I was a bit leary of the length initially but the fit is perfect. The quality is great too but it should be at that price point. They did a good job of stopping the wind and cold. I haven't had them out in rain/snow so I cannot comment how they perform under those conditions. I have been very impressed with all the Mountain Hardware products purchased.

Excellent climbing pant
I just took these pants to the summit of Mt. Rainier and they worked great. They kept me warm and were very comfortable. The size medium pant seemed to run a little large on me (32 waist, 31 inseam) but not so much that it was a problem.

Fantastic
These pants are great for all conditions. Exceptional for skiing as an outer layer and light and thin enough as a mid layer underneath a shell. Articulated knees makes for an extremely comfortable fit. They feel like a pair of track pants. On warmer days so far I have not over heated and therefore are great just to wear around the house as well. Well worth the money spent. It is great being outside and not having the wind rip into your legs. As they are resonable light weight (small is just under 500g) they also dry quickly. For internet shoppers and shoppers overseas, the fleece is on the exterior of the pant and next to your skin is the windstopper material but very comfortable. The size I am form Australia and am normally a 32 waist. I got a small in these pants and they fit perfectly so I would say they are a little oversize. Delivery was super fast and the guys very helpful. Great service.

Block the Bite
Tired of the chilly bite that cuts right through your jeans on those days it's at, or just below the point water starts to Harden? Then consider a pair of these Windstopper pants! They're designed for active endeavors and great for just walking around town. I use them as an outer layer and have been perfect at beating the windchill factor. If you need another layer underneath the articulated reinforced knees and roomy fit don't make you feel all bunched up. They are true to size with with a sharp technical style & just enough room for a polypro or thermal layer without being baggy. I like them so much I got a 2nd pair & wear intead of jeans when the temp drops to mid 30 or below. Very comfortable inside the house when lounging around as well! One of those rare combinations where highly functional & sharp looks are also so comfortable you won't want to take them off.

A bit long
I'm 5'8, 155lbs. and normally can wear a medium. These, in the medium were too long for me. I had to go with the small, which are a little tougher to pull on around the butt, but are fine on my waist once I get them on. You can always undo a side zip a little to make them easier to get on, they have a front zip but no front snap or button. Otherwise these are great pants. Reinforced where you need them to be but with a good feel. Windstopper is light but will keep you warm by blocking out wind drafts. The legs stretch to fit around the large ankles of my mountain double boots, so I won't have to worry about them bunching up or having places where wind and cold air drafts can sneak in. I'll probably remove the velcro blocks inside the waist (for suspenders I guess?) since they are a bit stiff and seem like they could chafe if they get in direct contact with your skin.
