Rain pants better than Mont Astral?

Hi
Are there any rain pants better than the Mont?
My criteria are:
Actually waterproof
Durable enough to last
Wide enough at the foot end that water shouldn't run into socks or trailer runners.
Lighter than the Mont, being 425g (think the Raindance are kids sizes)
Cheers

More reference, am looking to drop the money for a pair of those pants, checking first for any other suggestions...

I already have an Austral jacket which is great. Also that Outdoor Research ~200g-ish one which works for quick outings.

Have Patagonia rain pants that are fine but elastic narrower bottom of the legs.

Have an MLD rainskirt which is cool but best for warmer weather. Could be a few inches longer for me so might get a custom/longer one from tiergear.
