Late to this, sorry, they are coated. And even when brand new they were of limited waterproofing, as the moment the material stretches/has pressure on it (hello skinny jeans) the water just bleeds through, like a tent shell.
That said, they dried very quickly, I was quite happy riding in mine for about 45 miles over the weekend (I have cut them to shorts and had tights underneath), but was perfectly happy sitting around in them afterwards. I would probably go for breathable and quick drying over waterproof tbh
