Yeah they are just the right combination of water proof´ish in my opinion. Keep the DWR fresh on them and they do a pretty damn admirable job of truly fending off quite a bit of water, but more important to me is that you dont immediately boil in them and remain quite comfortable in the rain/cold/wet while wearing them. If it´s really raining out, your skin and your baselayers/undergarments are going to get damp no matter what, but the outerlayer is going to make all the difference in how comfortable and how dry you Feel. The Agent pants dont soak out and start feeling heavy and wet, and they also dont leave you feeling like a lobtser being boiled alive if its cool enough outside for them in the first place. But you definitely aint gonna be dry-suit dry underneath if thats the expectation. haha
