One report:
I'm at work today, after having ridden in with the remnant headwinds and rain of hurricane IDA blowing and falling.  My commute is 11 miles, normally about 42-43 minutes.  Today, because of the weather, localized flooding, etc, maybe 50ish.

I wore my new MUSA rain pants and couldn't be happier with them.  They are fantastic!  I was ever so slightly damp from sweating (no way they were going to fully breath in such wet weather) but for the most part dry, warm, comfy. Previous rides in less rain and wind with my (good brand) pants ended with me being a soggy, unhappy, overheated mess

ORANGE MUSA ORANGE RAIN PANTS that are ORANGE

MUSA means Made in the U.S.A., and that generally means expensive. We've kept the price down and avoided shortcuts in design by dealing direct with the maker and selling direct to you.

The fabric is Japanese, a high tech fabric using the latest nanotechnology. Water rolls right off it, and yet, in the right conditions, body vapor passes through it.

It's easy to get hot, sweaty legs when you pedal with shell pants, because exercising legs generate a tremendous amount of heat that quickly overwhelms the ability of any waterproof-breathable fabric to let it pass through. The key is ventilation, when it comes to that, actual vents beat the pants off breatheable fabric (which, these are made with, anyway). These MUSA rain pants have more, and better-placed vents, than any other rain pants in any land.

Vents cost more to make and are potential leak points. But again, vents are key, key, key. The zippers are water-repellent, and we tested them with a high-pressure hose, direct from the side, and no leaks.

You'll notice the pockets are just access-slits to whatever real pockets you have underneath them, if any. You don't need pockets in rain pants, but access slits are useful. When open, they function as vents, further cementing the MUSA rain pants claim as the most vented rain pant in the galaxy.

In the fashion world, which includes outdoor fashions, orange is widely considered the color for clowns, the kiss of death. Rain pants are usually dark. We picked orange anyway, for visibility. In a daytime rainstorm in traffic, it's hard to see a mere bicyle rider, but orange bumps up your visibility quotient dramatically. You'll never know who would have hit you but didn't because of the orange.

S, M, L, XL

Sizing: Same as the other MUSA pants. Like this:

         Waist(in)      Inseam(in)
S       28-37.5         31

M      31-40.5         32

L       32-43.5         33

XL      36-47.5         35

They're cut longish, but it's easy to hike 'em up. If you're at the
upper end of the range of one of the sizes AND you'll wear these over
Carharts or Chuck Hazbros, size up some. If you like a snug fit and your
waist is 34, you can wear a med.
