First let me start with I LOVE THESE PANTS!! Now for an honest review:I am 5’10” and ~180 lbs with athletic legs. These are fitted enough to look good but roomy enough to allow for good movement. I predominantly wear them as every day pants when the weather is sub freezing. Also wear them snow hiking, snowshoeing, and xcountry skiing.They do awesome in snow and stay pretty dry, and are great at blocking wind, but they are NOT waterproof. Water will bead initially on them but if left on the pants or in a down poor they will get wet. Also sweat is a major issue with these, so I don’t recommend them in weather above 30-40 degrees F if you are doing activities, Otherwise the fleece lining will get soaked and their ability to keep you warm decreases significantly once they are wet. These would not be a great choice in areas that have a lot of rain vs snow in winter months.Even with that they are some of my favorite winter pants I own and I have two sets at this point (contemplating buying a third). With a set of thermals under them I’ve been comfortable out in single digit weather.
