Sometimes, it rains. C'est la vie. The best thing you can do is be prepared and bring the Marmot PreCip Men's Pants with you when you're wandering around in the wilderness. Weighing under nine ounces, they won't slow you down, and they won't let you get soggy, either, seeing as they're designed with Marmot's waterproof and breathable NanoPro membrane. Full seam taping will keep any rogue drops at bay, and ankle zips and snaps help you seal your cuffs down over your boots for extra-double-secret security.

I am not sure. But I wore these every cool, rainy day I was photographing in Iceland--it rained 10 of 12 days--and despite sitting on the ground a lot I never got wet.

Are these the newest model with the nanopro fabric? I am confused because under the "Main Material" section in Features it says its: "Precip 100% Nylon Ripstop 2.8oz/yd (the old Model) and then under the "Specifications" section it says the outer material is, "NanoPro 100% Nylon Ripstop 2.2oz/yd (newest model). Can someone confirm which exactly this one is? Many thanks!

I bought the large size, long version (i am usually between medium and large) and it covered my motorcycle boots fine sitting down (the pants would have been too long for hiking). The elastic draw strings gave a tight fit around the boots. I did not experience any unpleasant flapping up to 80 mph. The pants added good insulation on top of Kevlar reinforced jeans on cool mornings (about 55 degrees). I only experienced a brief light shower while riding; so I can't comment on the performance in heavy rain. I used the pants intermittently during a 10 day trip. I can't say anything about durability beyond that.
