They seem like a great price. Was wondering if anyone had experience. I am looking for an outer layer for rain/snow

I have a pair. They're all right, but that's a great price. They're made to be light weight and maybe good for one year of regular use. I normally wear a pair of Gore brand that I got on a clearance but I'm keeping the O2 for a back up pair or if I want a pair to pack with me just in case.

I have used a pair here in Minneapolis for about 4 years now. I have a rip on the inside of one of the legs, but they are good otherwise.
They are nice pants to stuff in a bag and forgot about. I wouldn't want them for every day use if I lived in a rainy climate, but they make nice pull-overs for those who want to wear normal clothes when biking. Plenty water proof, and not too warm except for the summer.

I have a pair.. but I find them too warm unless is below 40 (with shorts on underneath). If it was really pouring I might wear them up to around 50. I think that would be true of any rain resistant product.
They seem light weight, but I've used them over the last few years and they don't seem any worse for the wear.
