Have bought the pants, because I every day about 20 minutes cycling in the university. Weather matter, summer or winter. Is really a lace pants! First wanted one with a side zip for rapid on and off, had me but opted for this. Hose is top to pack super small. Have a bag here, is it about as big as 2 packs handkerchiefs. Comfortable it is and really 100% completely waterproof. Has poured properly, but I stayed dry (and shake for 1x was the pants again). I hope that the many years to come. attract respect., the pants are down very far and you can with normal shoes are slipping by without taking them off.
