Anybody tried these?
I'm thinking they'd be perfect for sweaty lil' me, in the lovely rain-fest that is Seattle in winter. (I usually end up taking my rain gear off, cuz I'm too sweaty.)

Of course, I'd rather get them from TE. Hey, Susan, any chance....? :o

But then again, I could just chop the legs off my rainpants and save myself $145, but where's the fun in that?

$145? I think I'd cut the rain pants. Looking forward to your review Knotted!:D

Knott, I have the shorts and love them. They are best for cool rain, though. I've worn them over shorts & over knickers. Breathability isn't that great but when it's chilly (over 50 degrees), the shorts are a better alternative than full pants. Above 60-65 degrees, I can put up with just regular shorts and a wet bum.
