Anyone have any of their stuff? I have plenty of cold weather base layers so warmth isn't an issue. I just want to stay dry and comfy. I'm thinking Calhoun jacket, but I dunno about pants. All their pants descriptions are similar and all their pants are described as the best pants for everyone, from the casual fan of pants to the most extreme pants connoisseur. How do I know which pants are the pants for me?

I have the primary pant and Jacket they seem to work well but I have not fully tested them yet. I received earlier this month and only had to wear them once so far.

I have the O2 original hooded jacket and pants. I keep them at work as an "emergency" rain suit. They work well for that and have always kept me dry and comfortable.

Oh hey, I have one of those in hi viz.
Works fine so far. I keep it stuffed in a corner of my bag along with a set of rainmates chaps.
It doesn't fit over my motorcycle jacket though, so sometimes I have to go for the belfast cover.

I have the Original Jacket and the Nokomis Pant. I recommend O2 for the water-proof material that is breathable. I have other rain gear that doesn't breath and you end up wet with your own sweat instead of the rain.
The best recommendation I have for the Calhoun pants, last fall it was 35F and heavy rain. I left for my PM commute a little nervous about getting wet and cold. I got home, my core was dry and warm. It was a very comfortable ride!
I'm note sure about the difference between the Nokomis and Calhoun, the price differences didn't bother me, so I went top-of-the-line.
