are the sized based on going over other pants or for wearing these pants alone?
TERRY M
My husband wore them over other pants. As we haven't used them in the past few years we are fuzzy on the details.
PAUL B
My xl fit like my xl snow pants like xl trail pants so normal size I'd say
JOHN B
I am 5'10" 180# and got the medium size, they fit over shorts and pants just fine.
Jeffrey P
is this good for white water rafting gear?
PAUL B
They are well built and will repel the strongest rain when standing. However, they are not very stretchy for the sometimes greater mobility needs of working a raft/kayak and I'm not sure how well the seams will perform when sitting on a wet seat.
JOSEPH F
I have not used it for that particular purpose but it has worked well in heavy rain.
AMY S
Well, I don't know if these would be ideal for rafting. I use them for biking in cold snowy/rainy weather and skiing. They're nicely water proof, but in cold rafting situations, I'd rather have a wetsuit on.

SHORT PANT : HOW LONG?
PAUL B
I wear a 30" inseam. The XL is just a bit longer than i'd want my jeans. I'd say they are 31" inseam maybe a smidge more. Over hiking shoes/boots they are fine and don't drag on the ground. Great pants by the way. I have a pair of NF freedom ski pants. These are basically the lightweight backpacking version of those. The hyvent material is great for the price point.
Jessica S
The inseam for the X-Small/Small is 29.5", Medium/Large is 30", X-Large/XX-Large is 30.5".
