Great lightweight Pants
Arcteryx quality product as usual. Fit is great, waterproof and breath well. Superlight weight - great for backpacking - compact and lightweight - good emergency storm protection. So far they have exceeded my expectations in terms of durability.

Awesome pants, completely waterproof and windproof, In spring or summer backcountry activities, it performs very well. Moreover, it 's so breathable and has a super light weight. It has no pocket. It's a little inconvenient. But I am still satisfied with it.

Arcteryx Men's Alpha SL Pant
Great pants for their intended purpose- light, waterproof pants. I researched and tried on various other light, waterproof pants, and I felt, and continue to feel that I made the right choice with these.

Awesome Waterproof Shell
This is a very thin waterproof shell, not your sturdy bushwhacking pants. I use them for climbing/hiking in winter when I don't foresee a lot of scrambling/bushwhacking, and biking in cold weather.
Excellent mobility on the knees, even while pedaling on the bike, my ankles are never exposed. Love the fit of this pants, just like any other arcteryx pants.

Very light, Super light
Although it is not very thick, this one is very light. On casual occasions, it is enough in wind and water protect performance. I love this jacket.

Awesome Wet Weather pants
I've used them about a half dozen times now since I purchased them and I couldn't be happier. They fold up nice and small and are light enough that I can take them with me if weather is threatening...and just pull them on quickly if the skies open up.
Last time I used them was at a Disc Golf tournament at Sugarbush Mountain in Vermont...in near monsoon like conditions with howling winds, driving rain, and temps in the 30's (it was snowing up on top of the mountain), and they kept me dry and warm. (Not that they're insulated. They're just a shell, and as such they're effective at blocking out the wind as well as the water.)
Also, even being a wee bit on the tight side due to being worn over my normal pants and the fact that I could use to shed a couple pounds, I still have very good freedom for movement. Which is real important considering that I'm playing Disc Golf in them.
The only downside is cost, but if you're considering Arc'teryx you know that you get what you pay for and these pants don't disapoint....so get 'em.

Bombproof but runs a little small
Quality is what you would expect from this brand, but the pants do run small. I am 6'2 215lbs and the large is just too tight with pants or shorts underneath. I will be exchanging it for the XL size and hopefully that will give me some much needed room to layer.

Awesome pant
Same with its name, It 's so light that I can put it to my packs easily, and it is suitable for these outdoor activities which need light gear such as treking. At the same time, it can provide good performance. it is rain proof and wind proof. I like it.

Super Lite
Great waterproof pants that are light weight. Can roll them up and pack in my backback. Will take them on my deployment to Middle East. Also will use for Boy Scout Camp outs.

Another great product from Arcteryx!
Fit is perfect, breathability is much better than marmot precip pants they replaced. The jury is still out on durability as I have not had them long enough-so far so good! I wish I had bought these the first time- precip coating delaminated a common problem / known problem with age and sweat/body oils.

Light weight, pack small
Great pants, waterproof, breathable, light, packable. I'm 6'3" 240lbs and the 2xl will work fine over shorts or hiking pants.

Great lightweight shell.
Make sure you order big enough size to go over pants. I am 5'9 165 pounds and a large fits great.

Light shell pants that take up little space and keep you dry
Pants would have been perfect had there been a strap to run under my boots and easier access to pockets. Worked well in a downpour in the White Mountains.
