I was a bit hesitant on these pants as I read one review saying not water resistant at all. I unpacked the rise pants and put some clean water on them and the water beaded up nicely. I'm sure the fleece inseams can get wet pretty easy, but if I'm hunting, I will be wearing my gators, so I'm not too concerned about them getting wet. Super comfortable and warm! I'm 5'9 200lbs size 35 waist. I do need a belt for the pants to fit perfect, however, the knees are a bit snug when sitting in a chair, not bad though. I'm really happy with them, I don't sit much when we are into the elk and they are super comfortable! Can't wait to try them out early season elk! I'm happy I got them!
