Have used for about one month so far in cold (<50F) conditions.Pros• Fit true to size• Close fit at lower legs prevents pants from catching on chain• No bunching in crotch or seat areas, which can otherwise snag on saddle• Really impressive wind protection, which helps a lot in cold weather• The waist ratchet is effective in keeping the pants in place• Good comfort overall for long ridesCons• Expensive• Not really a con, just note that these are relatively thin and will offer little protection in a crashGood in the wet for sure, will need thermals for colder days, but definitely doesn't breath well and becomes a hot or really cold without extra leggings...the size was correct but too big and I don't know if I can still return for a smaller size...this wouldn't be an issue if it had a better waist locking mechanism or at least some belt loops to assist the odd sizing. I wanted the extra space for pads when hitting the DH park, but they worked well in the cold and rainy days so far...also too much material in the rear/butt, looks like a wet diaper or saggy pants all the time unless you fold the waist up, which is unfortunately the only way I can wear them without them falling. I ordered my size and yeah just runs big I assume.I use these on a daily basis either to commute to work or to ride in the woods in the winter. They are great and I recommend them highly. They fit well and knee pads fit under too. Bottom line... get yourself some if you like riding when it's wet and/or cold.The waist at 38 was to large to tighten. Should have bought the 36. Still I returned without exchange because it did not like the ratchet waist. Bought Endura MT500 in 36 instead. Great fit, better waist solution.pants are nice. fox is typically not known for high quality / long lasting products. these pants seem to be made better then most of their stuff so that is really good. ordered 3 pairs in different sizes color to try on. am 6-2 and one of the 38 and one of the 36 were way to short (both same length). I think this is the correct length the pants are supposed to be. the third pair (36) was easily two inches longer then the other 36 and all so the 38. wanted the different color 36 but ended up taking the "odd" ones that where long enough and fit well. so from my experience the length my be a crap shoot when ordering these and if you are over 6-2 they might be too short.Great purchase for winter riding in the Pacific North West. Works well. Keeps the rain out. Fits slim but loose.
