It is the third pair of pants I have purchased. I find it to be the best for its price. I live in Corfu and I use it quite often. Being careful how I get on the motorcycle, it lasts me at least 2 years without any problem. Then it starts to tear from the crotch, less at first and more as it gets older. Maybe a larger size will help so that the seams and fabric in the crotch do not overflow and maintain its waterproofness for a longer period of time.
