Great water-proof pants

I wanted something to keep me dry in case of rain and also protect me from the wind during my occasional spring and fall hikes around NYC. I got these Sierra Designs and put them to the test this past weekend in the Great Smokey Mountains.
I wore them on top of my light hiking pants, and they fit well. I got the small size and I think I could fit in the XS as well (I'm 5'2 and 115lb), but I may want to use them for skiing with bulkier warmer pants underneath and I wouldn't like to compromise movement.
They did a great job keeping me dry from the rain. I was a bit clumsy putting them on the first time with my boots on, but don't blame the pants!! I AM clumsy. Once I figured it out they were on in no-time.
They did not make me sweat during the warmest hikes and did a great job keeping me worm when the temperatures dropped and the wind was strong.
They are very light, easy to fold and take very little space.
All in all, a great deal!
