    Anyone tried these? They might be a good solution for me although the Paradox in a medium is getting scarce. Any other options you guys have tried?

    I've got a couple other pairs of non-WP softshell pants but I do want WP for this test.

    Take a look at my review here from a few years ago. I found with use they are not real great in warm weather (over 75?) because they don't breathe well and tend to get hot. Other than that, my review still holds. I actually ended up giving them to my daughter recently, because I prefer to wear thorofare pants, and during wet times, just add a rain skirt, because it's so fast. I'm still working on the dork factor of the rain skirt, however.

    I bought some from STP, and thought the fit was really strange. They seemed really tight around the knees, of all things. Maybe I just got a bad pair.

    I'm hoping to try them on at the sale on Friday. They won't be used in temps above ~40 deg and more likely it will be below zero F.
