I mostly wear it when there may be rain and the wax isn't going to melt. You really need an inner shell when it gets really cold but it's too hot to wear in the summer around here and the best choice most of the winter. It's way better than plastics, my north face is like wearing a sandwich bag.
>>2386697Never had the leg problem, do you use the stirrup straps or something? Mine covers the top of my boots for the most part.
