I got the rain pants for Xmas, so I've only worn them a few times--2 or three in rain and 2 for the extra wind protection when it got really cold. I like them so far. They do get condensation on the inside--I think breathable nylon type fabrics don't work as well in cold weather--but not to the point of being uncomfortable.

One thing I had read but disregarded is the waist size. It's small. Mine fit over long underwear, which is all I'd be wearing anyway, but if I were trying to commute in work clothes I'd have a problem. I don't think they'd fit over regular pants. I'm 6'1", 200 lbs, and probably a bit smaller than a 36" waist at this point, and have the large size. It's weird, because the legs are very baggy, but the waist is smaller than anything I would consider "large". And there's elastic anyway, so I don't know why they didn't build in some extra room.

Searching, I see one site listing large as 34-36 and another as 34-38. I'd say they'd fit 32-36, with 36 being a firm ceiling.
