Perfect for the purpose!  I wanted to pair of breathable pants I could slip on and off over my outdoor gear, and these are the ones!  I took them sea kayaking in Alaska and they fit the bill perfectly.  It rained almost the entire time but I stayed perfectly under these.  (My GoreTex parka actually let me get a little damp.)

These are too baggy for hiking, but for something you can slip on over your boots and pants, they're perfect!  Also, they were more breathable than I expected.  Even though I was actively paddling for several miles, I had no problem with them retaining sweat.  Great value.
