They aren't super form fitting but aren't tight either. The fronts are windproof. I've never tested them in the rain. They seem to do well with our heavy fogs. I wear then over shorts down to about 35-40 degrees for night time rides of up to 2 hours. I think they'd pull over knickers very easily for even extra warmth.

Maybe Susan can tell us whether these are as warm as the ones she posted. They're pretty heavy.

I have both the SportHill Pursuit and the Shebeest Windpro- (both are non-chamois, with ankle zippers). I can do a comparison for you:

The Windpro front thigh panels are semi-waterproof. Rain beads up on them for a long time and the beads tend to blow off without absorbing. But eventually they DO get wet if you're out in the rain long enough, at least in drizzle they did. They are warm, with a fuzzy llining. They fit more like thick tights than pants. They are sleek and form fitting.
The SH Pursuits are being made in a new style now, but I have the old ones that still are available in some sizes on TE. They are warm too, and heavier fabric than the Windpros, but not in a fuzzy way. They are a nice dense stretchy fabric, very well made. They fit beautifully, like a hyrid between form-fitting pants and tights. I haven't tried them in the rain yet, but they sure keep the cold out. Their *slightly*more pantlike fit allows you to more easily put other stretch tights under them such as Underarmour or a chamois short or capri. Of the two, I like the Sporthill Pursuit better. I wouldn't hesistate to try their new style. I think they will last a long time. I am pearshaped, 5'5" 140 lbs, and both tights fit me nicely in size Medium.
