Good trousers in most conditions.
No good for summer as they are too warm. Great venting - can open the zips and they still keep you dry as long as the rain isn't driving at the open bits!
Dry very quickly and fairly waterproof - mine finally wetted out after 6 hours in driving rain but in normal conditions they'd be fine and condensation control outside of summer is brilliant.
They aren't the strongest trousers so you'll have to look after them, they don't like thorns so I'll think twice before wearing them with crampons.
