For ultimate warmth and comfort under your ski pants, pull on the Marmot Women's Power Stretch Pant. The pant's fleecy warmth comes in handy on a frigid first chair, and the its ability to wick and breathe keeps you from overheating as you slice through a stretch of fresh powder. These properties, plus its super stretch, make this pant an excellent choice for a chilly morning jog or an afternoon skate ski as well. Marmot even included a handy internal ATM pocket for just such occasions.
Bottom Line: Soft, warm, and stretchy―sounds great.
I'm happy with these. They are a slim fit which makes them a great layering piece under some rain pants. The inside is soft and they're pretty warm without a lot of bulk. I'm also happy that they aren't too long for me. The cut makes it easy to kind of pull them up on your calves so they fall perfectly to your ankles with no worry or discomfort.
These Polartec pants are very soft and warm, but be aware that they are quite slim-fitting. Typically I would be an XS (5 ft, 100 lb), but I had to order a size M so that they would not be too tight in the waist. A small would've probably fit, but I imagine it would be slightly uncomfortable. The length is a bit too long because of this, but the tapered leg ensures that the bottoms stay up and don't get stepped on. Bottom line: a great mid-weight bottom, just be sure to order a size up or more.
Wore these for several days on the trail in hiking in Patagonia where you can have four seasons in one day. The pants were super comfortable and warm, and provided great wicking. My one complaint--I had a little chaffing from the pants after day one. It wasn't anything to cry about, but it was annoying. I switched to Neve's three days later and was just as warm w/ no chaffing. These are very snuggly though. It's nice to put them on when it's freezing outside.

I love these fuzzy, warm & stretchy pants. The outside is smooth and sleek, and the fleece weight is perfect for what I had in mind. The only reason I couldn't give them a full 5 stars is that they are too long (I'm 5'2" tall) - they should be offered in petite lengths as well.
Let me begin by saying that I am a huge fan of Marmot and trust the quality of their clothing. I was highly disappointed with the Marmot Powerstretch pants. They are true to size and are warm, BUT I wore them once and they started pilting in several places. Now they are practically ruined.
These are freaking awesome! I'm wearing them right now with some cargo pants on top, it's 16 degrees outside and my legs aren't cold. This is the coldest weather test I've done thus far. In terms of sizing, I'm almost 5'8" and 130 pounds I wear a size 1 or 3 jean depending on the brand. I have size small in these pants. They are a little tight in the waist (not painfully so, just not roomy) and reach just above the top of my ankle. I've worn these to run in, play rugby in, and as a base layer for my early morning winter dog walks. They definitely performed up to par in all these activities. My only complaint is if I don't have something over these and the wind blows, I feel the chill. Which is expected since they're only a base layer; not something to mark off points for, but just to keep in mind. Overall, these tights are warm, toasty perfection.
