Lightweight, windproof, stupidly fast drying, showerproof, highly breathable

Lightweight, windproof, stupidly fast drying, showerproof, highly breathable,
A mesh pocket for keys would be nice.
So far they have lasted 2-years heavy use cycle commuting, plus walking and running in the peak district. Highly breathable and showerproof.

EXCELLENT ALL ROUND

Extremely lightweight, tiny pack size, wind resistant, water resistant
None so far
Wear these in cold weather for running. Last used in the Longmynd Hills after a bit of snow. I didn't feel the wind, although the snow was up to my knee in places the pants never felt wet and they kept me warm. Couldn't ask for anything more

DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO, AND WELL !

Lightweight and easily packable
Comfy
Windproof/Showerproof
A small mesh pocket maybe,for a key or something ?
Well,I got the Litespeed and now the Featherlites.Very usefull on a few occasions as a backup,taking up a tiny space in my pack,put on easily with the zips over boots and running shoes when the wind and rain kicked up a bit.Not waterproof,but they dont think they are,and they are not a "waterproof trouser".One of my best buys I think,if you use them for what they are meant to be used for !!
