but the practical test demonstrates that it is not working. The elastic fixing straps on the knees are on a sewn waterproof membrane, so that the Nähstellen are leaking. That would not be so bad, after all, it concerns only a small point, but the fixing straps then direct the water towards the knee. At the latest 3min in temperate rain pants in the back of the knees are a large area wet. In a downpour may make you just as well leave it out entirely. The overlap on the sides and above the knee are not sufficient. Even with high leggings rain can not be sufficiently held forward. Conclusion: At the most suitable for rain and because of design errors even then not permanent. Who has space, they also take a good rain pants for those cases where they may be recommended as a supplement.
