Great pants for European travels
Have had these pants a couple of months now and have been been nothing but pleased. I live in northern Italy and have used these pants in snow, rain, sleet, and above average heat. They keep you dry and cool if needed and warm if required with the liner in. I usually wear these over my Army uniform and have never had an issue getting them on or off. Great pants and love the suspenders with them. I have a 34ish waist with a 30in inseam and bought the 38S pants which fitted easily over my Army pants and boots.

Rev'it Sand Pants are great value for the price.
I'm 6'0 and got medium, they fit at waist and leg width but could be longer inseem. When I ride my 2012 V-strom there was wind on my ankles. Overall good pants and would recommend them to friends.

Great all-season pants - fit VERY small, use manufacturer sizing guide
I ordered the 2XL short version of these, I usually wear 36W and 32L jeans. Ideally I would wear 31 length jeans as the edges usually curl over the back of my shoes.
That being said, these fit VERY short, but I can fit a pair of jeans under them and adjust the waist setting to have room. The first time I tried them on it was with all three layers - thermal, waterproof, and outer shell. I felt a little cramped under all three layers, so ordering again I would not have opted for the short version. That covers the sizing.
The waterproofing is amazing, I live in Seattle and can attest that even without the rain layer on last night I rode 40 miles in an absolute torrential downpour and JUST barely got wet in the thighs of my jeans underneath by the time I got home. Had I had the waterproof layer been on I would have been set. But even without these offer great waterproofing.
My biggest complaint is that the knee protectors seem to always slide to the inside of my knee, and I usually try and tuck the pants inside my boots so I don't have to constantly adjust the knee protection.
Overall I like the pants, great all season protection. Plenty warm. I was riding in 39 degree temps last night and felt plenty warm. I got them on sale, and I would recommend them. BUT BUY BIG!!!!

A solid product with minor flaws.
Ridden at around 50°f with just the insulated lining they do a fantastic job of blocking cold. I'm sure that adding the rain liner will improve it even more. Add a thermal base layer and I don't see having a problem with these well down in to freezing temperatures.
I haven't worn them in rain yet so I can't comment on that at all.
The waistline is accommodating so I wouldn't even worry about it. The most important measurements are the inseam and the hips. Like a lot of other reviews I feel the pants ride up a bit too much while riding, I assumed they would be cut to fit my inseam while in a riding position, it is just the standing inseam so look for a pair a little longer than you might normally want, especially if you have forward controls.
In the hips they seem a little bit tight, I wasn't expecting that. I know they're padded and all but the fit is fine just about everywhere else, with the waist being a bit spacious even when tightened. As a result of the fit around the hips I don't think I could entertain the idea of wearing jeans under these, even without the linings.
So if you have an athletic butt of any kind be wary and maybe buy a size up.

Great pants, but size is slightly small
The size is small especially when all the layers are on. I am 5'-9", 170 lbs, regular pant size 34". I ordered a large and it is snug when all the layers are on the pants. It is comfortable when the thermal layer is off. If I ordered an XL, it would be too large. I will mostly wear it during the summer months anyway.

Overall I'm happy with the pants.
I took all the required measurements and the sizing chart indicated a large short. They were too short, exchanged them for large regular. My first long ride was cold, the pants performed well, kept me comfortable. When it warmed up, taking out the two liners I was still comfortable. On the downside riding thru a bad rain left me with a damp (not wet) butt. They fit well but the knee armor sits too low when standing. Seated they're OK tho the left pressed too hard on the knee. Pulling on the pants leg helped. They're not perfect but I'm glad I have them.

Great Pants
I've taken these pants on a few rides and they are great. Warm enough in colder weather. Haven't tried them out when it's hot out. Great pants, great protection, easy on/off

Great Pants
I've ridden around 300 miles in these pant in low 40-50 degree wet weather here in Wasbington State and have stayed warm and dry. Measure your waist, donot use your pant/levi size. The pants use your measured waist size. I have only used the pant with both liners installed at this time, cannot review for ventilation (warm weather). Great service again from Revzilla!
