I am a Columbia employee, and I cannot speak more highly about these joggers. These - and the newer jogger style Leslie Falls - are easily my two favorite pairs of pants on the planet. I now own every solid color of these. I've taken these on warm-weather, cool-weather, and rainy-weather hikes, and they have held up beautifully. The drawstring at the waist is a nice addition, especially when backpacking (backpacks tend to try to pull your pants down with each step). I love the zippered pockets, which are really deep considering these are women's pants. They have such a cute active fit, and they're really flattering. They are also true to size. And, while these joggers have omni-shield (Columbia's water resistance technology), they are not waterproof. I have used these in light rain, and they kept me very dry. I have also used them in monsoon-style downpours, however, and they did not keep me dry - which I definitely expected. But don't make the mistake of thinking that they won't soak through if you're walking through a river or something.
