Wore these through a wet, windy week in the alpine and stayed completely dry the whole time. The 3L GORE-TEX shell is light enough that I forgot I had rain pants on.

The GORE-TEX actually breathes, which I didn't expect from something this waterproof — I stayed dry inside on a steep, sweaty climb. They pack down small enough to stuff in a daypack too.

Wore these through three days of wet snow in the alpine and stayed completely dry — the 3L GORE-TEX actually breathes, so I wasn't clammy on the climbs either. They pack down small enough to stuff in a daypack, which sold me for travel.
