I've used these pants on a total of 9 days worth of Olympic rainy days in the mountains. I have tons - TONS - of rain gear and usually prefer to hunt with just a rain jacket, but this elk season was calling for an exceptional amount of rain (on the Olympic Peninsula even), so I decided to pick up another new pair of rain pants to the bewilderment of my wife. These bad boys performed. At one point, four days into constant rain, we spotted some spikes on a far off mountain and had to cross a valley river. At one point, the river was just under my belt line. The only wetness I had when I finally extracted myself was around my ankles where I lacked protection from gaiters. I've never cared for gaiters, but I would recommend a pair if you plan on doing river crossings in November. The pants dry extremely quickly - much faster than any GoreTex pants I have. The pants for some reason held up better to prolonged rain than the Seak jacket. It probably has to do with fewer openings. One thing I didn't like was the velcro thigh pockets. A lot of comments here talk about how noisy the pants are when moving - they are - but these pockets are worthless unless you are in elk camp. I walked 62 miles in these during elk season, a majority of which was bushwacking, and beat them up pretty badly. They will hold up through general brush walking, but if you're pushing through devil's club and blackberry vines, they're going to get torn up. If First Lite allowed pictures in their reviews, I would post some of the scratch damage. This isn't really a jab at the Seak as I pushed it to the absolute limit to see what it was capable of, but something to be aware of. It's heavy duty, but you still need to take care of it.
Overall, I highly recommend the Seak. In 62 miles, 29,000' of elevation change over 9 days - largely bushwacking in mid November on the Olympic Peninsula, I have had a chance to put it through its paces and I am highly satisfied with the performance. I love how quickly it dries and the durability exceeds any GoreTex shell I own. 93/100
