Would you say that these would be good enough to hike in in the spring/summer/fall, or would they be too warm? I'm trying to find a nice pair of pants I could hike in, but would also be water proof, ruling out the need for a waterproof shell. Thanks!

I would recommend looking for a pair of Gore-Tex Paclite for warmer days. They aren't very durable but extremely light and breathable....you can always add a layer below if its more on the chilly side. I recently bought a pair of rossignol pac-lite for warm skiing days and i love them, except as I said it will tear easily.Way too warm for late spring, summer and early fall. The liner inside these pants is like a soft brushed polyester, almost like a very, very thin fleece. Other than the breathability of the gore-tex, there is no ventilation at all, no side zips..zero. You will have heat stroke in 30 mins if you hiked in these with 50 plus degree weather. BTW ryandbolin's review nailed it on the sizing.
