Wrong size (short M and long M)
I bought it(trouser) through the website…wrong size (long size) the website didn't show me any different options (long-M and short-M) I got a very large size on the legs and hips….I used the product twice…. I'm not using it because I feel uncomfortable…it's quite bulky on the legs and hips….this is the suggestion….set up the correct website if you want to have short and tall customers….I will never buy there again

Essential Item For Dartmoor
My original reason for buying this was for occasional use for when rain looks possible.
But living near and hiking on Dartmoor with its changeable and frequently wet weather I've ended up wearing these most times I hike during the cooler months.
Perfect for October to March but far too warm for the summer.
I mostly wear just the pants and find them perfectly fine next to the skin. In close to zero or colder temperatures I wear Rab Power Stretch Pro Pants which are very warm. Or if cool but not freezing then a thin merino wool legging.
Above 14 degrees and sunny these are just too warm.
They keep me dry in most conditions but not a replacement for an over trouser if its hammering down with rain.
Their biggest issue is the zipped fly - which badly leaks water if it's more than a short heavy shower. I wish they'd get rid of it, or I suppose I could buy the women's version but the fit would be off.
Nice soft material and doesn't rustle like an over trouser. In fact they are just as comfortable as a normal hiking trouser but much more waterproof.
I also have the matching Kinetic jacket which is also pretty amazing.
I've knocked off one star because:
1) The leaking fly
2) Very expensive!
Never the less well recommended if you live somewhere cool and wet.

Rab Pro Flex trousers
I love Rab clothing and their jackets are fabulous. I have a down one and it’s still going strong after many years.
However, the RAB Pro Flex trousers are terrible! They’re lovely for walking in but the waterproof quality is virtually zero in driving rain. Not particularly forceful driving rain either. They keep the rain out for 5 minutes at the most, then are just soaked through. I have non-waterproof trousers from another company that keep rain out longer than the RAB ones.

Best waterproof pants I’ve owned
These are incredible, in the past I had waterproof trousers that I’d pull on over my normal trousers, if you know it’s going to rain you can just wear these from the off, really light and comfortable and a great cut.

Exactly what I needed
Always hated wearing overtrousers but walking in Scotland there is a lot of rain! I got these hoping I'd be able to wear them on their own as a waterproof option that was still breathable.
So far they have done exactly that, had them on for a very wet trip up Nevis and for some hills in Kintail. Kept cool enough when it was dry and held of the water when it rained!
Very pleased with how they have performed so far 😁

Great fit, very light and doesn't impede range of movement. A great summer mountain trouser.
