I bought this for a trip to Iceland. I wanted something water-resistant since it would be rainy/snowy, but also keep me warm. The moment I got it, I held it under running water in my sink and the water rolled right off! I was so impressed. The inner lining of the pants are also warm. For reference, I am 5'5", weigh 165 pounds, and I have big hips (and a protruding belly). I got this in a size large, and it fits me quite well. It's high waisted, and it sits nicely on my waist, if not a teeny bit snug, but it's not bad at all. It has stretch to it, which is lovely, because I can eat and not have to worry about the pants pinching me when I get stuffed! Overall, it did keep me warm in Iceland (it was very cold there, around the 30s-40s in Fahrenheit and -1 to 4 degrees Celcius, but it was VERY windy and snowy) and the pants really did a great job of keeping me dry. I wore thermals underneath, which also helped keep me warm in addition to the fleece. I'm keeping it for future use! I'm really glad I purchased this.
