Forever Mens Hi Viz Waterproof Rain Over Trousers High Vis Visibility Pants

I am a woman, 5'7" and wear size 8 in ladies pants. I ordered these waterproof rain trousers in Men's size medium. Unstretched, the elastic in the waistband measures only 24 inches around. It is strong elastic and I found it uncomfortable, so I pulled the elastic out to replace with a drawstring. The pants are longer than expected, 43.5 inches from the waist down to the bottom hem. I don't mind the extra length because I would wear them for bicycling, and the length would keep rain from draining directly into my shoes. Still, at the bottom hem, there are snaps so that you can tighten the pants around your ankles if desired.The fabric feels strong and appear to have excellent resistant to tearing. I'd describe the fabric as medium to heavy weight. It is a strong, woven polyester fabric on the outside with a rubbery surface lining the inside. The first thing I thought was how much I'd probably sweat in these things in hot/humid conditions. Unlike most bicycle clothing, these have no vents or other features to allow for breathability. But they do look impervious to rain.Concerned about one previous reviewer's comment that these bleed, I put my pair into a bucket of warm water and pushed water through them vigorously for a few minutes. I took them out and the water was perfectly clear, no dye bleeding. I will update this review if I discover any problems after taking these on an actual road test in the rain.

I wonder why normal outdoor waterproof pants are always so expensive? I got these as I am a bicycle commuter and wanted to stand out, and be waterproof of course, on rainy days.Was hesitant due to price, but they are great, keep my bone dry and are super bright. Of course, there are no fancy breathability pockets and you can definitely get toasty in them, but you just have to dress intelligently according to your activity.Love them highly recommended if you want to be visible and waterproof.Lastly, why would you not want to be as visible as possible in the rain people? You out hunting deer?

My waist is about a 30 waiste, and these pants are about 12 or 15 inches unless you stretch them really really really strongly. It took a long time for this to arrive and it is raining constantly every day so I am just going to squeeze into them. The fit is funny because I have to also pull them up to about my nipples because the legs are so long. I don’t know how they thought someone would have a waiste so small and legs so long. Pretty crazy.

The pockets are large and ... go right through to the inside pants pockets ... letting rain in easily, drenching the inside pants. Terrible design.PLUS ... they are shipped directly from Manchester, United Kingdom so if you want to return them (as I did) the postal cost is more expensive than the pants themselves. / AMAZON SHOULD HAVE A POLICY: that makes it clear that if a return is necessary, overseas postage must be paid. This is the first time I've had to pay return fee...and I presume I will not be reimbursed for that.

I work for utility company and sometimes have to walk through tall weeds or Ag fields - will typically get soaked. Wanted something easy to pull on over my clothes - these work perfectly, keeps the pants dry, and were very reasonably priced and decent construction, although they will get limited wear. If I were wearing daily and working in them, a heavier-duty pair would make more sense but I only wanted something for emergency use.

I wear a 34 waist with a 36 inseam. I purchased the large due to previous reviews. They fit in the waist fine over other pants, but they are almost too short on my legs and the crotch rides a little low. However, they will work fine for the purpose which is a quick pullover on rainy days to respond to emergency medical calls.The pocket slits will allow water to get in as they are open slits, but my jacket covers them fine. If you wanted to use them as pants without other pants you'll be disappointed. Also, there is no liner so wearing them alone would be fairly uncomfortable as well.All in all I receieved them quick enough and they are as described.

after a couple weeks they began to bleed through.

The pants fit on the larger end of as expected. They do their job well, keep dry even with heavy constant rain. The only downside is they feel a bit more flimsy than expected, though as a whole I'm pleased with the purchase.
