I was looking for a long zip pair of waterproof overpants - similar to the REV'IT Airwave 1 pants but waterproof. Until these pants came out, I couldn't find anything. All my gear is REV'IT so when I saw this pop up, I was super excited and purchased these pants immediately.

Overall, I use these pants as my daily commuter pants but I wouldn't want to use them for longer trips(reasons further below). I bought them as commuter pants for the shoulder seasons when it's cold and wet so they meet that purpose well - easy on/off and they fit over my clothes. There pretty comfy with the exception of the zipper at the knee bend, but I don't think there's much that can be done there. The pants are a little baggy at the waist and not as form fitted due to the velcro closure system. The thermal liner is an added bonus and pretty easy to insert/remove. Or at least as easy to insert and remove as any other lined pants.

There are a couple small changes I would like to see to make these pants perfect.
-Make a snap closure at the waist closure. The velcro is constantly coming undone from sitting down or crouching and then it starts to unzip from the top. Not very reassuring for a crash situation and for this reason, I wouldn't want to use these for longer travel
-Make the pants a full zip - it's a little strange to be able to zip from the top and bottom but not able to completely separate the two zipper sides. I make it work, but a fully releasing zipper would be easier.

They do seem like great pants, just not what I was looking for. I wanted a full zip, these are a LONG zip, very different. They are also kind of hard to get on/off and I plan on them being for bad weather so not being able to get them on without sitting and dropping them on the ground is very important. Otherwise they seem really durable, comfortable and good quality. They were big on me so I removed the lining and they strangely fit tighter and were less comfy. Also taking the liner in/out not easy, I had to lay them out, match up the zippers/velcro. For a wet camping trip they'd be super warm but not easy, I might be asking too much though....

I am 38 waist. I ordered per size chart for a 39 waist (size 40)to have some extra room. I couldn't get the pants to zip on my waist, too small. They also have a short inseam, not listed in the page info. When you sit down on the bike most of your lower back is exposed. I guess good if you like that fit or have very long shirt to cover the exposed area.
