Great deal you got Z.  Marmot makes a good line of rain gear.  I have the precip pants as well (....as well as a couple others that is - what can I say...I'm a gear junkie) and they are reliable and light.  I've gotten a lot of wear out of them.

MT...hopefully you can maintain your indoor accomodations, but if you do have to come out and hang with us 'dogs', at least you will stay nice and dry....and light!   ;D
