“These pants are the real deal. Rain, not a problem, cold out? Not when wearing these, and the god damn belt loops are the shit. Just buy a pair already.”
“Full disclosure: I ordered it online after a lengthy and positive phone call w/ Showers Pass folks. Unfortunately, the item(s) I ordered did not fit even though I ordered one item my size (potentially) and another of the same item one size larger (!). I had no problem returning all of these items, pants and jacket. I have had three Showers Pass Elite jackets which I've worn through brevets, double centuries, commuting 42 miles/day for 11 years and Paris-Brest-Paris. These are clearly the best cycling jackets in the world and I will continue to hunt for one that fits!”
“Purchased these pants as a gift and ordered the recipient's recommended size (L). The legs on these pants were too tight. Ordered next size up; still too tight. Finally got a pair that fit decently with an XXL. Nice pants, just too tight in the legs. Phone assistance with staff was EXCELLENT!”
“Listed as a "3-Season' pant I found the 'exceptional breathability' to be anything but! A short 20 mile training ride in 55-60F and light to moderate rain and my legs were soaked mid-way through the ride. Have to assume the bulk of the moisture from sweating as the rain was mostly just light. I think added zippered protected vent flaps on thighs and maybe mesh back of knee areas would be better than the fabric currently used to vent on sides. Also whilst the overall size fit was good the design of the knee areas tended to pull the pant down in vigorous riding in my case - perhaps a belt would offset but not preferable. Expensive to sit mostly unused at this point due to lack of effective ventilation but guess I'll try to find other uses - overall disappointed in performance, general fit OK but could be improved and ventilation basically a fail imo.”
“Love Shower's Pass‚ Hate these pants. I have other products from them and they fit perfectly. These pants, I sized at the same go as my others, which were a large (and I'm really a medium) and they were ridiculously a Ronald McDonald pant. The hips were mega-wide while the calves so tight I could barely fit. I'm a normal 5'9‚guy, weighing about 180 with a 30‚inseam, and they made me look like a Massachusetts State Trooper. Yeah, no thank you. I call Shower's Pass, and they asked me to share what was going on and that it was possibly a bad batch, as other customers were saying the same thing. They also told me I would likely get a full refund. Sadly, they did not do that and charged me for return shipping. I didn't make a fuss since it was $5, but I hope they get these pants fixed.”
“I bought a pair of these pant's 4-5 years ago and love them. With 40% off I decided to buy a backup pair. I bought a medium originally and, at the recommendation of sales, bought a medium again. I'm a small person: 32" waist, 5'4", 135 pounds. The medium goes on snug and, when I try to sit the legs bind. Useless for bicycling. The length and waist are fine, but these are like "skinny jeans" - normal legs don't fit. Based on my experience as well as other comments, I think Shower's Pass dropped the quality ball on these pants. Mine will be going back. Haven't decided whether to buy a large, which will have too big of a waist, or just request a refund.”
