Can you try them on in person before you buy? I have found that to be helpful.......

A few days ago I picked up some Helly Hansen raingear at Bass Pro. It was called "workwear"........comparable price to what you are looking at but non-breathable. I was pleased however with this style of H/H. They seemed lighter and more flexible........a bit less hardcore than their usual stuff I have seen, and fairly reasonable. It also had a liner which should help keep it off my skin.

I'm reshaping my thinking with raingear. 10 years from now the H/H will still be waterproof without having to seal it.

I know this wasn't what you were asking but I just got them, thought they were sweet and thought I would pass it along. Just another option.
