FROGG TOGGSMen's Classic Pro Action Waterproof Breathable Rain Pant

1 year update: Still using the same set... its getting about time for a replacement... but I still arrived home dry after my 1 hour commute in heavy rain on the motorcycle.Original review after a few months:After thousands of miles through all of Ohio weather minus snow, they kept me dry on my daily 50 commute each way. Small and light enough to keep in my bag all the time. Big enough to go over my normal boots so getting them on over my gear is a quick and easy process. Its a permanent part of my loadout. Even at times when it was dry but cold, I put them on to break the wind for comfort.

The media could not be loaded. Like:- Lightweight (7oz), great for backpacking.- Cheap compared to some of the more popular brands; maybe not as durable but in my case I will only wear them a few times a year so I don't foresee any issues. (though might be durable enough, I haven't tried them in the field yet).- Waterproof: I poured water on them, and the inside did not even get damp. If however I try to push air through the fabric (holding my mouth against it) a tiny amount of air does go thru. So they are somewhat "breathable". Will be nice for winter backpacking too.Don't like:- They are a bit noisy and feel like a piece of thin "cardboard" (see video). Not a deal breaker to me though.- I usually wear size Large pants (US waist 34, length 30 - I'm 5'9, 170lbs), but these are Medium, and fit me at the waist like normal Large pants would. The legs are baggy enough to allow for another pair of thick pants under. A Large would also work since the waist is elastic, though the legs may be even more baggy then. But either would be fine for a backpacking trip.

Wore these bad boys to a music festival in a Hurricane. Dances my but off and didn't get my legs wet at all.Then Was up all night fending to our camp set up in torrential downpour. None of the canopies or tents survived, but my leg never got wet.They were very thin, kind of flimsy material. It seems like they could rip easily. They were long enough for my tall legs I'm 5.8 130lbs. The waist was a little, but the adjuster made it easy to fit. If you're looking for something and you're looking for something for a few times uses and not like an every day, water prevention tight pants these are definitely the way to go.

If you dont like those big yellow rubber raingear outfits that leave you wet from sweating in them and would prefer something lighter and easier to move around in these would be it. They are pretty durable depending what type of work you plan to do in them. I've used them for hunting (not deer hunting quiet), hiking, and light outdoor yard work and have found them to be good quality. I buy mine 1 size up so I have room to layer up underneath in the winter and plenty of room to move around without restriction. They are light weight and will rip quicker than the rubber but thats a trade off I am willing to take for the comfort. I generally get a few years use out of them before I replace them and like that I can buy the pants separate from the shirt so I'm able to go large pants and medium top tailoring it to my build and preference. My go to raingear because they simply work, are comfortable and inexpensive.

I use these on the river on my kayak and always keep me dry. Not watertight but they'll stop you from getting soaked from splashes

This is the best. buy it big so it fits over what your wearing they dont get wet wind proof and very very comftable i love this product and they are so light

Very stiff , more useful for rain pants than lounge or exercise pants

I was torn between a 3 and 4 star review on this product. In some respects this product is without question 5 star, it works just as it promises at keeping the rain off of me, and does so VERY well. In some respects this is a 3 star product, it does not feel comfortable and the material simply feels like a cheap reusable grocery bag... Perhaps I am being too difficult on the product, but I figure it is best to be fully transparent in the review process so that you as the potential buyer understands the benefits and downsides to the product.If you're looking for pure waterproof pants, these are GREAT, I wore them on a day of fishing where we received over 1" of rain and my shorts underneath stayed bone dry, for that I am totally thankful I have them and will be using them in this capacity from here on out. As far as wearing these anywhere but a camping, fishing, outdoors, event I can't see wearing them, sure they weren't meant to be stylish, and I get that, but overall the quality of the material simply feels cheap, I am not saying that is, but it feels like it would rip in a second if I managed to scrape it on a branch. Also this material is LOUD, you're not going to sneak up on anyone while wearing these pants, if you're going to be going hunting I would consider other options. Further the sizing on these is big, I presume this is to accomodate wearing other clothes underneath, which is fine, but I am 6'0" and I had to roll up the waist a bit to ensure the bottom of the pant legs was not dragging, not ideal by any means.
