seems to me bare-skin contact with any of those outdoorsy manufactured fabrics would feel pretty wrong, unless you're a bit funny that way anyway. i have the 'regular' windstopper pants from
this taiga page and that was my experience the rare times i tried them without a buffer layer. the inside coating that makes them waterproof is sort of sticky-feeling. as far as their windproof/waterproof/breathable claims go they're not bad, but i'm not sure i'd spend the same 90 bucks a second time.
the best thing about rain pants, to me, is that you could ride to work in your pjs if you wanted to, and no-one would know
