Marmot Power Stretch Fleece Capri - Women's - 2008 BCS

Ok, I should preface this by saying that I'm a dude. Yes, these are women's pants. It's just really hard to find ski boot-length layers (AKA 3/4 pants or capris) for men. I'm tall and lean (6'2", 150lbs) and the size chart looked good on these, so I got some in Large.

That said, these are wonderful. The length is perfect, coming within a few inches of the tops of my ski boots. My full-length fleece and tights are a pain because they're either in the ski boot causing fit problems or bunched up above them, cutting off circulation to my leg. Neither is ideal. These, however, are just the ticket. They're also perfect on width. They're snug but not too tight, and the leg holes don't cut off circulation. They're stretchy if you've got bigger than mine.

The fleece is very nice and warm. The outside is smooth, which works nice under ski pants, and the insides are nice and soft and fluffy. These are much warmer then their thickness suggests. They're fairly thin, but the fleece is high quality and they insulate very well.

All in all, I'd buy another pair and recommend them to male friends. Kinda shameful, sure, but they're so nice they make up for it.

If you're borderline on the sizes, when in doubt, order up! I got both the small and medium and went with the medium. The inside is fleecy and soft, and the outside is smooth. The waistband is also fleecy and is nonrestrictive and does not cause muffin top, something I was very pleased with! Wore these for 3 days in Breckenridge, CO, skiing and kept toasty warm with Smartwool knee high ski socks. Smooth outside layer was great for not catching on my ski pants and did not restrict movement. Didn't need any other baselayer bottoms.. these were perfect for low-mid 30s plus insulated ski pants. I love them!
