FROGG TOGGS Women's Classic Pro Action Waterproof Breathable Rain Pant

These are definitely not for fashion and many people have given these bad reviews saying they feel weird or whatever but I love them.I am a professional dog walker and I ride my bike to travel to the dogs I walk. I am out in the rain and snow, riding the bike and then walking. I live in Northern New Jersey and it rains and snows here a lot!I got these because I thought I had decent rain gear but after a few heavy rain storms I ended up drenched on my bike and walks and knew I had to get some more high-tech gear. Originally I was looking for one of those rubber rain suits or gaiters that fishermen wear because I couldn't think of an alternative way to have waterproof pants while riding the bike or walking in a rain storm.When searching waterproof pants these came up. I liked that they weren't PVC or rubber and decided to give them a shot.I am so happy I did!Here's some things to know:These are not terribly cute, but they do the job. Definitely function over fashion in this case! That being said, they aren't too hideous either, they look sort of like track suit pants and aren't so stiff that upon first glance it doesn't look like your wearing weird pants or anything.The material is like those envelopes like other people have said. It is kind of funny feeling and weird at first which is to be expected if they are to be 100% waterproof. They couldn't be soft regular cloth and still be waterproof. So for them to be waterproof and as wearable as they are, is great. They are much more flexible then the PVC or rubber suits I first looked at.They can be hot because they do not breathe much but they are not too bad if you dress correctly. Because of the material, they are meant to be worn over other clothes or pants. I wear cotton leggings underneath in a cold rain and that is perfect, especially riding the bike. On a snow day, fleece pants or sweats would probably do the trick and keep you plenty warm.The wearing of other clothes underneath is nice because you can take these off at your destination and be dressed normally so I can be dry on my bike but still have normal clothes when I get where I am going. They also roll up very small and can be easily thrown into a bag.They have nice Velcro on the bottoms so you can secure them at ankles. They are a bit long but with rain boots and them velcroed, they don't drag at all. They also have an elastic band at the waist that can be tightened.I also bought the Frog Toggs jacket and a Frog Toggs pack able poncho to go with these pants to make a full rain suit.I have walked and ridden in very heavy rain and some snow this season and have been 100% dry and warm. After hours of bike riding and walking in heavy rain, I had no water soak through and I remained completely dry.These seem to be holding up great so far and have not ripped or fallen apart after a good amount of use. However, even if they only last one season, I would definitely buy these again next year as they are totally worth it. Even if I only get one season of use out of them I will feel I got my money's worth.

The media could not be loaded. Where do I start?1) the fabric is god awful, you make so much noise moving. It’s like you’re a human bag of potato chips (you can’t even grab them quietly).2) the fabric is stiff and not easy to work with. I have no clue why this product would be advertised as being suitable for running, hiking, and biking, when I can’t even squat without the material feeling like it’s about to rip.3) AGAIN THE FABRIC. If you’ve ever gotten one of those cheap pillows or blankets that airlines sometimes give out during flights… that’s what these pants feel like… just thicker.4) I’m 5’6 and about 162 so I bought the large (3 pairs because I needed water proof pants for work) and I am absolutely SWIMMING in these. I can’t even tighten the waist because all 3 pants came with some kind of issue with the waist string. Pair 1 and 2 came with one side of the string still inside the pants (and it is damn near impossible to get the string to come out the other side) and pair 3 came with NO STRING AT ALL.6) Again I’m 5’6 about 162lbs and in the size chart it says to get a Large. And they are way too long on me. If I use the ankle strap, the fabric bunches up uncomfortably at the knee. If I roll it up, it looks clumsy, and if I leave it at the normal length… well, me being my “graceful” self… i’d probably find a way to fall down some stairs.7) The proportions are so off. These were not made with curvy girls in mind, I have thick hips and a moderate amount of “junk in the trunk” if you know what I mean… and these pants frustrate my ever living being. They’re too tight on the butt but too loose in the front?!? (The picture showing how loose they are in the front, I was just standing up straight like a normal human being). How does that even happen? I feel like my butt would have more room if I wore these things backwards. And then of course they’re super long and the legs are really baggy… until you bend or squat down and feel like you’re losing some circulation in your thighs.8) When I squat down, there’s a good amount of skin showing and odds are if I actually wore these out, I’d come home soaking wet.9) They advertise “light weight” but they have the same heft as a pair of very stiff jeans.10) I started overheating and sweating under the pants within 3 minuets in A/C conditions. What’s the point of being waterproof if you're just going to generate moisture under the fabric?To summarize, don’t buys these, they’re a waste of time and money. I WILL BE RETURNING. I’ll update on how their customer service handles the situation.

I got Frogg Toggs for a trip to Alaska, and I wasn't sure they would be enough to actually keep me warm and dry. The first day I wore them we were halibut and salmon fishing on the boat, with a lot of wind and choppy water. I layered, of course, and hoped my Frogg Toggs would do the job. Nearly 8 hours later, I was completely dry and only my hands were cold because they were wet and had been in the wind as we rode back to the lodge.The next day we were river fishing, and I again had my Frogg Toggs on even though we did have hip waders. I'm so glad I did, because the waders developed a leak. My socks were a little wet, but my pants were totally dry...I didn't even realize there was a leak until we got back and I took my boots off, because my Frogg Toggs did such a good job of keeping my dry.The were a little noisy, but not any worse than a winter jacket or anything made of a synthetic material. I didn't want to sneak up on anything, so not an issue to me and well worth a tiny bit of noise to stay warm despite wind and water in Alaska. I would buy them again without hesitation.
