I've had very good results with mine.  I wore them through everything 
from downpours to snowstorms in December (this was in ontario), and the 
half gore-tex design is brilliant.  Most water tends to hit the front 
of the leg anyways, so they keep you dry without overheating (as you
would with full gore-tex pants).

Comment about the bottom of them:  make sure you have a good seal between
the tights and your footwear.  When it was really pouring I would wear
gaiters over the tights in order to keep water out of my boots.

Care: basically, they're bombproof.  I forget if they're hang-dry or if you
can throw them in the dryer.  However, I never gave mine any special care,
and they still perform fantastic.

Hope this helps!
