Does anyone know how water resistant these pants are? I mean one wouldn't likely be wearing these in a downpour, but what about against wet and slushy snow?

I am on my second pair of these pants and I can atest that they are definitely water resistant. Example: I got caught out in a downpour with these pants on and the matching jacket and it took a solid 30 minutes before either of them soaked through and once I was able to make it to cover, they dried out extremely fast just from my body heat and due to the type insulation. You will have no problem against slush and snow!

John W. These pants have a great DWR (durable water repellent finish) but they are by no means water proof. In other reviews users speak of using them winter camping with great success. The DWR will keep most of the water out during normal use and the synthetic insulation will keep you warm no matter what. I hope this info helps!
