How good is burton's waterproofing?

[skiman540]

i might be getting a pair of burton pants that are the storm lite 2.0 fabric. They say they're 8000mm waterproof. Should i get a pair that are the 3.0 fabric with 10000mm or is 8000 good enough?

i dunno man, i got some of last years ronin pants and personally i think they suck. even on dry days i find they get wet. like my wallet and things in my pockets are soggy.

8,000 is ok, but your probably going to get alittle wet if it's raining.

i have ronins in 5k waterproofing and the only time i ever got wet was when it as pouring rain all day

other than that they keep me super dry and warm
