I could be dead wrong, but I didn't see any liner.
Received mine today. Too small. Oh well, I've crapped away way more than $20 over the years.

My replacements are due to arrive today, hoping for the best. What size did you order and what size are you?
I ordered size 34. That's what I typically wear. I bought some of these --> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGYG429?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 for about $62 which are very similar to the Cuper pants in size 34 & they fit.

Pants arrived yesterday. The size 38 fits! A tad loose after wearing for a few minutes but easy to snug up with the adjusters. Also, plenty of room for my union suit underneath but don't think another pair of pants would fit under. They really do seem to be made well although time will tell on that front. I did find one minor flaw, I think. The back waist zipper that attaches them to a riding jacket will not fit in the sliding receiver (for lack of a better word) part of the zipper on the jacket. The teeth are the right general shape but seem just a tad larger than the jacket teeth. Anyone else find that?
All in all with the return I'm out $39.19 Still seems to be a dealio if they last a couple years.

I bought a set of these, https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07X6L5ZJ2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details, which seem like a clone of the ones being spoken of here. For shipping reasons I went with Amazon over eBay. Cost me $62.14 in CDN funds. I bought a 42 waist, I wear a 38 in Kirkland Jeans and 40 in dress pants. They just fit. I better not gain any weight. Have not tried out yet, but plan to this week. Like those above the zipper for connecting is the wrong size, but I never attach my Olympia pants either.
Looks very similar to the ones I also bought from Amazon, mentioned previously.

I see the first poster said free shipping and the pants were $29, now when you add these $20 pants to your cart, it shows $8 shipping to my place in WA.
Did the vendor lower his price and then add $8 for shipping?
Has anyone paid for shipping or is this a new sales tactic.

Sounds like price and shipping are like the fit.

I paid tax, no shipping charge. I now see a shipping charge of $8.10 in the listing.

So has anyone tried them in the rain? Are they really waterproof?
While I have not tried, the material certainly feels like it would be waterproof. I'll photo all the tags that came with it and post. The gusset at the area where the zipper should be looks like it is intended to be waterproof, as it just folds over to create a little more room before buttoning. I'll get my wife to spray me with the hose to test them tonight and update. The zippered "vents" on the leg have a rubberized cover that may be a weak point for water (it certainly is a weak point for air flow, open and closed).
Overall, price wise, I think they seem to be a good buy at $62 CDN. Time and use will tell.

And photos of her testing procedure, bet she doesn't just spray the pants

Same. Paid a total of 21.54 w/tax. I think that was an error on their part considering it cost me $17.65 to return the first pair.
Did you use the Ebay return label? Mine cost a bit over $7.

No. Didn't know there was such a thing. 
No live shots of the hosing, and it was raining at same time, so no real benefit to shooting me too (and she didn't). She did however spray the pants vigorously for a couple minutes with the "jet" setting on the hose. We focused on the air vent system zippers on the front specfically. I am happy to say that no water came in anywhere on any seam or at the vent closures. As far as I could tell they were waterproof.And photos of her testing procedure, bet she doesn't just spray the pants
About the tags and claims. One says it's made of Cordura (polyester). I did not see a sewn on tag. It may be made of the same materials, but not "copyright" fabric. It certainly kept the rain (and hose out). The CE protection seems to look about right. The tag describing says it is just for motorcycle riders, not for racing. There is no further description of the rating or standards it applies to...so i'm thinking it's better than nothing, but maybe not quite as good as some.
I still think they're a good buy.

If you use that option the shipping charge is simply deducted from the refund.No. Didn't know there was such a thing.
Great thread!
"Asian" Cordura must be the extra special stuff. 20 bucks
I'm buying a pair just to get in the fun game of pants roulette.
