Above expectations fine breathable and warm cycling trousers for wet and cold days
These trousers are better than expected. Nice and warm fabric that is windproof and keeps you perfectly warm even in temperatures around or below freezing (I used it up to -2 degrees). It breathes well and I like the fact that it is water repellent. Ideal trousers for wet autumn days and spring classics, but also fine in winter. The chamois is very comfortable, I haven't used it for more than 2 hours yet but that shouldn't be a problem. Too bad there are no reflective stripes at the calves for cycling in the dark. Braces are fine, could have been looser but much better than the Castelli trousers I have. Again, be sure to buy one size bigger than your usual size.

Perfect for old Dutch weather (rain, cold, wind)
More than 100 km of gravel in the pouring rain at about 8 degrees and stayed wonderfully warm and dry. Takes a bit of getting used to not having a zip on the ankle but it's actually nice because the trousers are supple and tight enough. The chamois feels good and continues to feel good the whole ride and beyond. The front of the trousers is high enough for warmth but low enough for when you need to get out for a while. Tip, received from Mantel: if the trousers are a bit less water repellent/waterproof, put them in the dryer once.

Value for money
It does what it says, warm above 0 degrees but once it gets below that. You'll need a warmer one.

Top pants for the cold seasons
Haven't cycled in the rain yet, but I like to keep it that way. The pants have to be put on and off with care because there is no zipper at the ankle. Ridden in with 0 degrees, and experienced no cold.

Excellent waterproof and warm trousers
These cycling trousers meet all expectations and keep legs dry and warm even after an intense and freezing rain mountain bike ride.

Fine trousers. If in doubt between two sizes: choose the larger one.
Solid stuff. No zip at the ankles, but the legs are tight, so they do not flap. Some 'careful' putting on, but otherwise no problem. For me (187 cm, 78 kg) the XL is just right. I have jeans size 32, but an L would definitely have been too small. The trouser legs are long enough despite my relatively long legs.

Excellent price/quality
These really are top trousers! I bought these trousers at the beginning of December and have now used them for 500 km (each ride lasts +- 2 hours) on my racing bike. At a wind chill of -5°C, they remain warm and windproof. A little rain shower won't hurt, but a long shower can make the trousers feel cold and wet. In certain reviews I see that the lack of a zip at ankle level is seen as a negative point, but I find this rather a plus, just pull it over the feet and it tightens more than enough. Also, the size chart on it from Mantel is perfect. And of course the chamois is excellent, but that is rather personal.

Fine winter trousers
These trousers should indeed be ordered one size bigger. With my height (1.81) and weight (66), I am usually a size M, but size L is definitely not too big. Thanks to Mantel for the tip! The fit is fine and the trousers are nice and warm. There are no zips on the trouser legs, but once on, the trousers fit perfectly, and the grippers keep them on perfectly too. The chamois is also excellent. Water repellency seems moderate
