Excellent walking trousers until it starts raining. The third time I wore them it started raining and within only a few minutes my legs were wet. Definitely not shower proof.

Indeed. Really its the drying speed which matters with something so light. And keeping decent durability.

To be fair, Montane do advertise their DWR ability a little bit, and as I remember used to give them a fairly high weather resistance score. I think I can remember being fractionally irritated, but it was really only fractional

I used them this week in the Brecons, having proofed them with Nikwax.  They still wetted out quickly, but likewise they dry quickly.

Got caught in a V heavy shower in mine last week. Yes the thigh part wetted out quite quickly, but as it was still very warm it was almost pleasant. Do they dry quickly? - unbelieveably so, would I change them - Never!!

Yep great trousers but if you want any weather resistance you have to wash them every time in tech wash.......when they dry so fast why bother!
