This fabric/pants is great for "just in case" packing and for trips with the need for rain protection. The problem with this pants is that the waist is VERY slim compared to the rest of the design. My wife normally uses size small, and therefore ordered size 6. We had to send it back and exchange for a size 8, but even that is too slim. We now have ordered men's size small for her, as the womens fit is not well designed.
Very lightweight

Purchased for outer layer for downhill skiing, which was a mistake. These are simply for waterproofing over other pants.
