These feel very much like serious rain pants....at first touch they feel a little like my Helly Hansen rubber trail building pants. They have a slight rubbery feel to them and appear well constructed with sealed seams. I am a steady size 32 and opted for medium but no way...i will be a solid large. I could not even get my feet through the lower legs and had to a ballet move to even pull the waist up. I am not sure how these will work for me as i ride in my boxers, i almost want to wear them as over pants- but i will give them a go. I cant give them 5 stars till I tried them.

Been riding in the slop for the last few weekends and these pants stayed dry even in heavy rain while riding and camping. Stoked.

I was real happy with the pants for the first 3 rides until today when after a minor fall I got a tear in the leg. I normally don't spend so much on gear but I thought I should get quality pants. It looks like I'll keep using my ancient Activa jacket which has never ripped and not replace it with the Conspiracy jacket.

If you plan to wear regular shorts under them, size up! They are awesome pants. I thought I would sweat a lot in them but I didn’t. And they kept me dry all day in the pouring rain in Whistler.

you won't be disappointed with these pants. They are lightweight, waterproof, windproof and breathable. It doesn’t get any better. Size up though.
