The title is a bit exaggerated, but in use, I consider it really like that. In your pocket (my) although they do not fit, but in a small frame bag or backpack, they are folded small and perfectly portable. Tightness, handling and fit I feel very good. But very thick calves could become a problem. Please do not misunderstand. The velcro in this case could possibly be too tight. Just try it. Oh, the length of the parts is great and I do not feel disruptive. For small showers does not necessarily have a rain pants with this, provided from above a poncho is used. PRIMA OVERSHOES
