So far so good

Unable to review the waterproofness but they are warm and toasty and are flexible in the material where you need it to stretch over the bike. I like the idea of the size pockets for easy access. The only thing is you need to go a size up, so ideally go and find some to try on before buying to get your size.

Comfortable and waterproof

Trousers are true to size. Took liners out as it was really warm with them in. Comfortable and practical, decent pockets and didn't let any water in

The larger you are the longer your legs apparently

Let's begin by saying these are great!
Comfortable and warm but there's a reason they come with braces.
I'm generally a size 12 but have long legs and 99% of women's motorbike gear is so short I may as well have on capris.
I needed to by an XXL which is the equivalent of a 14 but that was generally because they were a little longer in the leg. Ideally I would have wanted longer but I end up looking like MC Hammer if I'd gone any bigger!!!
Don't be frustrated with the sizes. They're clearly aimed at tiny petite child-sized women but my god they are lovely to wear!
