I put slikke pants jackets to the test the day after i got them.. high elevation BC moose hunt, first day solid down pour and was hunting off a quad and hiking. After 7 hours in the down pour rain i was done dry after getting back to the wall tent. For rain gear it is very quiet gear. Fits true to size. If you want tighter fitting gear id say almost size down. For me the extra room is great for over pants or to layer up ( and im heavy set. Bought sizing purely off body measurements)
