Marmot Invincible Performance Pant - Men's - 2006 BCS

These pants are very comfortable, have lots of pockets with sturdy zippers, and they keep you nice and cool on those hot days. They are also rugged and dependable on the trail. A must have.

I bought these pants for a canyoneering trip to Moab that I took last weekend. They were part of a large order that I placed on this site last week and I'm happy to say that these were the very best purchase of the lot. They stood up to the abrasive sandstone and kept my butt and knees free of scabs. I wish my hands fared so well! The pants were very comfortable and the smooth fabric made them easy to un-bunch after I put my harness on. The temperatures ranged from around freezing to the 50s that weekend, with lots of wind, and they my legs warm enough. They dried quickly after being submerged in icy "potholes". The most amazing thing about these pants? After an entire weekend of hard wear, they look brand new. There's not a spot of dirt on them. I'm not sure how Marmot does it but these things stay clean-looking. The downsides? The pockets are a little weird and take getting used to. The belt and buckle kind of suck and tended to loosen when worn under a harness.

Soft feel, perfect fit, non-restrictive and quiet, lots of well placed pockets. The horizontal zippers are a little hard to open, especially with gloves on, but a little loop of nylon cord takes care of this.
