However full-length over trou are sometimes best - notably for commuting when you want to keep your long pants dry, or when touring to really cold and/or wet places.
Started my commute the other day thinking I would be ok in the misty Ōteputi drizzle - 2 km's in I put on this and I wish I had the same thing for my top half as I got soaked. Love how small they pack down and the rain just beads off. I am narrow in my waist as is this waist sizing so potentially an issue for some average kiwi size 12-14 women.
I purchased these a few months ago along with a She Shell Jacket. Finally got to try them properly a couple of weeks ago during our West Coast Wilderness Trail ride where we experienced quite heavy rain. Both Jacket and Pants peformed really well and kept me warm and completely dry. Was also impressed how easily the mud brushed off once it had dried. Zips on the pants for easy removal was great. Awesome gear - thanks Team. Thoroughly recommend.
I have just completed a winter trip around the K500 loop in Kahurangi and used my monsoons. The monsoons performed really well. They fit well and we’re easy enough to pull over my cycling shoes. I only had a couple of hours of light rain and the monsoons wete waterproof enough. I would like to see how they go with a full on day of rain. I only gave it 4 stars because I would like to see how this monsoons performs over a 2-3 year (and beyond) time period.
I typically size around 10-12 and got the 14 which are generous around the leg for layers. I wanted them like that so I could use them for commuting. The waistband is seems to fit well over layers but is a bit on the smaller side. Maybe fully elastic rather than partially elastic on the next model?. Very lightweight and packs down well. Material seems pretty durable. Have only used them a handful of times and so far happy with the product overall.
These are lightweight and comfy. I got the size based on my riding shorts and I find them a bit snug around my waist but that could be the higher fit.
