This will be a pretty quick review. Simply put, these pants are awesome.I've worn them in some of the rainiest, muckiest conditions this year for hours and was bone dry.
There are ample pockets, all with welded zippers. The thigh pockets are pleated at bottom so they stay close to the leg when empty, but when full can carry quite a capacity.
The full length leg zips are super convenient and also feature the welded zippers.
Other nice features include built in gaiters, inner leg scuff guards and great adjustability.
Maybe the most impressive feature is the wicking ability of the eVent fabric. I got soaked to the bone by a flash Texas rainstorm. While still raining, I took off the shorts I was wearing and put these on, over my wet legs and boxers. In less than an hour all the moisture inside had been wicked away and I remained dry through the rest of the day even though the rain never relented.
The only drawback I can think of is the price (they retail for $239), but luckily enough I found these on a sale rack at my local REI retail store for less than half that price and they are worth every penny, sale or not.
