after few months leather peels off and they start to look cheap.
initially they were waterproof but when tested in heavy rain they soaked up rain.

it sits well without moving; so in an accident i think it will stay in its place.
Material used is excellent and with just the straps you get lot of air flow. I use it top of a shirt and sometimes under a jacket.
CONS;
This is big one and most annoying. straps tend to stick to everything including velcro on my gloves helmet and anything/everything else. some of the elastic material has started to come apart. Straps are stiched in nice but material used is way too sticky.

ast-1 vs express drystar overpant vs dyrstar pant
I am unable to decide between these three pants. will wear as a overpant mainly in winter for going to work. Need something warm because we tend to get cold here during winter.
