Anyone know how to size one of these? I am 5'11 and wear 32" length pants (is that the inseam?) Does this mean I want a 28" wrap or a 32"?

I'm 5'10" with a 32" inseam. I got a medium and it comes below my knees. Even with your extra 1" in height (could be legs, could be torso), I think the medium would be plenty long.

Edit: also check out the cuben "CloudKilt" from ZPacks/traildesigns. Costs more but weighs a little less. There are a few pictures there that might be worth looking at to gauge size.

How well does it work? Do you like it better than traditional rain shell pants?

I'm 5'10" and wear the medium. It's plenty long.

I am 6'-0" with a 30" inseam and the mediums are plenty long.

Rob - Much better than rainpants here in the southeast in warmer months. Rainpants are a sauna.

I'm 5' 10" also with a 32" inseam. I have the medium and it is plenty long.

For warm weather use it is a great piece of gear. I pair it with an ID sil cape. It gives me summer rain gear for 8oz.

I prefer rain pants during the colder months.

The rain wrap plus MLD lightsnow gaiters offers much better performance than WP pants IMO. Particularly when it comes putting on and taking off. I never have to stop or take off my shoes (except gaiters). During one trip started raining 20 minutes from the trail head. Everyone stopped to put on their WP pants. 20 minutes later it stops. No one wants to stop again, so they are hiking in steamy pants, but not me.

It also doubles sleeping bag foot protection. I draw the waist chord all the way and put it over the foot of my sleeping bag for extra storm protection for my DWR bivy.

It's also great for a place to sit after the rain stops.

The only drawbacks are the wind sail effect in very windy conditions and it doesn't provide extra insulation like WP pants will in colder months.
