Review on ❄️ Outdoor Ventures Women's Sleek Waterproof Softshell Fleece Lined Ski Snow Insulated High Rise Hiking Pants with Bottom Zipper: Stay Dry, Warm & Stylish on Outdoor Adventures! by Kazuki Vong

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Waterproof, windproof lining; 34 x 31 (medium) true to size; Care instructions

Revain's description of them used to say they were waterproof, water-resistant, and waterproof, which usually mean different things. They've now given up repellents (and changed size descriptions to match reality, which is a good thing). Based on my testing, the outer fabric is water repellent with some repellency but will absorb water after a while. At the same time, no water seeps through. There must be a waterproof layer between the outer layer and the inner fleece. Some moisture can get in through the seams, but it takes a lot from the outside to get in. The impermeable fabric also makes them windproof. They dry quickly. They are not for warm weather. They're lighter than jeans but thicker and warmer, and the waterproof layer prevents them from breathing through the fabric. The size I got was called Medium when I got it. Now it says 34x31, which it actually is. They look large for a medium-sized woman and apart from the zipper opening on the left instead of the right, the difference to the men's cut is hardly noticeable. My waist is actually 34 inches inside and can expand another inch or so. There are no belt loops, but there are a pair of velcro straps on the sides that allow the pants to be pulled an inch or two tighter, so I'd say they fit waists from 32" to 35-1/2" comfortably. " fit. (This is a true waist measurement, not a size that is often advertised as being smaller than it actually is.) The inside leg measurement is also correct at 31 inches. The fabric stretches a little, mostly diagonally. Outer shell is 94% Polyester, 8% Spandex. Inner lining made of 100% polyester fleece. Just two pockets, both front and zipped. They extend down from the bottom seam of the waist (where the bottom of the belt would go if there were loops) 12 inches, but only 3 inches below the pocket opening, so they appear small. They are about 6 inches wide at their widest point. As with some other specialty pants I've seen, the legs have seams in odd places, including one at the knee, which might bother some. See photo by Revain.) As the pants are light and soft I hope this isn't a problem. Zipper openings for boots. double lock. The description here says they can be tumble dried, but the label inside the pants says they can't be tumble dried. Made in China.
