Great pants. I would recommend these to ANYONE! I love them, but they have their kinks. Not so good for weather above 15c -- 60f, because of the fleece lining. The pocket zippers open, and close fine, but the water proofing on the zippers will break after a few weeks of use - but it won't be missed. The button close on them will pop open fairly easily, but wear a belt, and will stay closed without issue. I wear a 33w 32l in jeans, and ordered XL. They fit perfectly. I've used them down to 10f -- -12c, with 20mph winds, and long underwear underneath. My legs were the warmest part of me.
Shipping all depends on when the boat for the orders leaves. My first pair took 2 - 3 weeks to arrive. The second pair I ordered arrived in 5 days.
