These are very waterproof, but the adjustable elastic drawcord is far too tight. I struggled to get a size 14 over my (not very wide) 36" hips. This is not fun if you are on a windswept mountain wearing hiking boots. I had to unpick the waist seam to access the elastic and add an extra length to it. Very time consuming and unnecessary. It would also be nice if there was a pocket or even gap to allow access to pockets in one's base layer.. For the price of these, I think the design is poor. Did any hikers actually test these?

I bought these to keep me dry on leisure walks and they are exactly what i needed. During this cold weather i have had a base layer underneath but i will be able to wear them without in the summer months. No pockets but not a problem as my jacket has plenty. Slightly wide at the bottom of the leg but needed the size as quite slim fitting at the hips area. Overall delighted with my purchase

They're as stylish as waterproof over-trousers can be as they're not too wide..
