Great Pants
A very lightweight and versatile shell pant that offers some primo features at a good price. These are great for backpacking or just about any other outdoor sport where you'll get wet, and the 3/4 zips are a great feature for dissipating heat without letting too much moisture back in and easy removal over boots when the skies clear. Not quite a technical shell, but easily one of the best pants in it's class with the durability and waterproofing of gore-tex and the weight of paclite. Just make sure you get the latest model - the version with the 1/4 zips and 2-button are good, but inferior.

Dedicated Rain Gear
I like the comfort, watertight zipper and the overall weight and quality. I would like to see a few pockets to make them a bit more versatile.

Totally Waterproof and Very Comfortable
I'm a auto dealer and spend a lot of time at the outdoor auctions. When we had our rainstorms out here in Southern CA, they were the perfect protection. Light, great fitting and very packable. I plan on using them when I ride my Harley as well! Like always, Mountain Hardwear is top notch!!

good
They're light as a feather, waterproof and breath very well. They just run small for over pants.

Ideal for motorcycling in rain
These pants are just what I needed as rain gear for motorcycle touring. Sizes do seem to run small. I got XL since I will be wearing them over other pants--perfect fit. The material is comfortable and the cord around the ankles draws tight around my boots. No pockets but I have no need for them. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this product.
