My 100 percent waterproof pants from MEC. Are nylon. I use them for commuting . After many years of use the knees leak a small amount but my but stays dry. One could trace the muddy triangle plastered on the back of pants on a wet ride and laminate a fully waterproof nylon section of material, covering just the splash zone.
On the rare time I'm invited to shuttle, Helly Hanson work pants are used by those that wish to stay dry in actual rainy conditions .
Edit , polyurethane and pvc coatings are waterproof. Nylon is water resistant.
