Great for Rain Days-Hiking & Biking
I'm 5'2 with a 31" inseam, 27" natural waist & 30" waist. These pants fit well, especially the leg length. The bottom of the pants have an adjustable velcro closure which can be adjusted to fit around shoes or bigger boots.
I have a short torso so they come up quite far on to my torso, which is great for keeping me and my shirt dry. If you have a longer/normal torso, they won't ride as high, but will still probably do a fine job. I normally would wear a medium in pants, but because the rise is higher on these than a normal pants I wear, I purchased the small and find I still have plenty of room to fit my pants or thermals on underneath and feel comfortable on my bike or hiking.
I was worried that they would make me look big, but the fit seems to be fine. I really like how they are cut, they have a couple of high quality seems around the knee which make them easier to move in and probably contribute to the more flattering than most rain pants look.
They are lightweight and easily scrunch up into a small ball to fit in the bottom of my bag, but the material feels strong and durable over other rain pants I have seen.

Great Pants
Great pants for heavy rain. Please order down one size as these are much larger than stated. Looking forward to returning mine and getting one size down.

Just what I was hoping for!
These pants are just what I was hoping for! Light weight for easy traveling while hiking--just in case! Planning a trip to Alaska for some hiking and no idea what the weather will hold...so I need to be prepared! These pants will be perfect. They are very comfy and look good too!
