Review for model:

Size: M

I ordered the pants for trekking in the warmer seasons of the year. So far I haven’t tested them. I know the membrane used and I know it can handle 3 hours in the rain completely fine, probably more. Breathability is moderate; during dynamic movement in warm weather, there may be some condensation, but not much. In cooler weather they are fine, the breathability is sufficient, though not ideal. The pants are well made, a bit noisy, which I expected. The zipper can be fully opened so that the legs and waistband open completely—and you can put them on without having to move, using only the zippers. That is very well designed. The only problem I see is the sizing. I am 177 cm tall, weigh 75 kg, have an 86 cm waist, and bought size M. On my build they are huge, too wide, and even when I wear jeans underneath for testing, they are still wide. According to the size chart, M should have been exact. It is not! For a build like mine, you need to choose S. I think that even then they will still be wider than necessary, but they should already be usable. Also watch out for the leg length; it cannot be adjusted in any way, nor shortened because of the zipper and the taped waterproof seam. From the waist to the end of the legs, size M measures 108 cm. I still recommend the product.
