For basecamp trekking approaches, long alpine rock routes, and spring skiing, nothing beats the stretch and light weather resistance of the Marmot Men’s Scree Softshell Pant. Ankle zippers make it easy to pull the Scree on and off over your shoes, and the back, hand, and thigh pockets store your small essentials. As part of Marmot’s M3 softshell collection, the Scree is best suited for high output sports in mild conditions.

Bottom Line: A versatile softshell pant for any mountain pursuit.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Perfect weight, great for hiking

By:
January 10, 2012

I picked these up on sale at EMS and recently took them out for a hike up Mt. Wittenberg in the Catskills. No baselayer, and they were perfect in 20-30 degree weather with constant action. Spent a fair amount of the icy decent on my cheeks, so was really glad to see how sturdy the material held up. Fuzzy pockets, good breathability, but still warm. Not the most technical pair (I personally love the MHW Sarpa details and fit), but a great lightweight pair for your next trip.

With so many softshell pants on the market, I'd keep your eyes open for something on sale.

same weight, same material. (backcountry's desciption is wrong for both). the material is Marmot M3 Softshell (90% Nylon, 10% elastane). the tioga has an integrated belt, scuff guards on the ankles, and is more athletically cut. scree is a looser fit and lacks the scuff guards and belt (but has belt loops). hope that helps

favorite pants

By:
February 26, 2010

The Marmot Scree pants are easily my favorite pant. The softshell fabric is super comfortable and isn't bulky. The cuffs easily fit over ski boots for touring, then zip up for heading into town. At 100 bucks, you can't go wrong with these. And they're made by Marmot, so you really can't go wrong.

Wish they had my size!

By:
February 5, 2012

I tried the medium but they were way too tight for me. I'm about 5'11", 170lbs and usually wear a 33-34 waist pant. If you like things snug, then maybe they'll work for you. Unfortunately they were too tight, especially through the thighs and rear, for me. He las. If they fit you, they'll be an awesome pant!

Well the small should work for you. I normally wear size 28-30" waist depending on the style of pants and I sometimes get youth sizes for the best fit. For these pants it will fit a little closer. I would order them and if its too small you can return it and get a bigger size.

Great Feel

By:
April 27, 2011

I love the feel of these pants. The stretchy material is perfect for any type of cool to cold activity from late fall to early spring. I don't wear these for skiing but wear them for mountaineering and cold weather hiking and snowshoeing. A waterproof shell glides on and off over these because they are slick. The Screes are not windproof but deflect some wind and breathe great. But back to the stretchy material, it is incredible the amount of unbinding and uninhibited movement you have when wearing the Screes.

I have several pairs of the Marmot Scree pants. They are perhaps the most durable, comfortable, and flexible pants I have owned. These pants wear well for daily use in the urban setting, as well as being highly functional for the outdoors. I am so pleased with them I have ordered several more pairs.

I must also add that Marmot is very responsive to any warranty issues relating to their products.

Great value & long

By:
February 3, 2010

These are a great value at $100. I hate wearing ankle swingers, but these are almost too long. They fit really well over the cuffs of my Garmonts and are the perfect weight for most days in the Wasatch. I can imagine wearing these year round in the mountains.

Got these today and fell in love with them soon as I opened the package. Unfortunately they are just a tad to snug. I'm 6'2" 210lbs and have a 34/35 waist. The larges are just a tad to snug. When I tried them on with a heavy base-layer they became to snug on the waist. So I'm returning for the XL. But they are a great looking, and great feeling pant. Nice pockets, great zippers, and the ankle fits loose enough to slide over your hikers. can't wait for the XL's!!!!

These are great for alpine touring, you may need gaiters though as the cuff is too small to comfortably fit over the cuff of my ski boot.

Absolutely Brilliant.

By:
January 28, 2010

These pants are absolutely without a doubt one of my favorite pieces of gear. I am 5'9", 150lbs, 32w30l and the mediums fit like a dream. They are made from a very breathable slightly stretchy material that doesn't snag easily. I tried these out in the Blue Ridge Mountains in mid January, through a myriad of conditions. There was about 6 inches of icy snow, and the lower leg area features a zipper to accommodate boots, which worked perfectly... No snow got into my shoes and that made me a happy camper. The leg fits snugly around your boots, acting as a pair of gators. I also trudged through a few thorn bush thickets, with not a single snag, which really surprised me. The breathability was quite good, as my legs never got sweaty. I would recommend a pair of long underwear under these if the temps dip below freezing. Marmot hit a grand slam with this pair of pants.

How warm/windproof are these? Which pants are the warmest between

How warm/windproof are these?
Which pants are the warmest between these, MH winter wander, Marmot cortina and let's say Patagonia alpine guide?
Looking for fall/spring type windproof stretch pants I can wear from, say, +10 to -10 Celsius preferrably without a base layer.

Another requirement is durability as I'd like to wear them everywhere, including work where I mostly sit and jeans/any cotton pants wear through within 3 months around the rear seam near where it meets the inseams :) I got some other polyester pants which resist this kind of wear just fine but they don't stretch and have other drawbacks I don't really like.

Hi Simon,
I think you'll find the Marmot Scree Pant to be very wind resistant. They will give some stretch and should provide warmth to 0 or slightly below, but are best utilized with a base layer for ultimate. They aren't meant to provide warmth, but instead a wind/water/abrasion resistant pant. I can't speak to the Patagonia alpine guide pant, but I would say the Mtn hardwear Winter Wander is slightly thicker and will provide more warmth, but again, not really designed with warmth in mind.

The Scree Pant should be plenty durable for the rigors of outdoors, and should hold up to your sitting and standing at the jobsite.

I don't know about those other pants, but these have served me extremely well between -5 and 25C, sun-rain-wind-snow-deep snow. I'm pretty warm though, if you're a skinny cool ^$%#, I'd say more like 0-30 and beyond.

As an aside, I am planning on ditching basically all my other pants, jeans, and slacks for work and play for these pants. They are awesome good.

Sick

By:
December 26, 2011

These pants are sick! Super soft, super easy to move in, look great, I always wear small and the small fits me a bit tight but I have received compliments from it so that's ok heh. Had them out today on the slopes, with nothing underneath, at about 28 F with a decent wind, and was warm all day, and never too warm. Wind resistance is awesome. Haven't had a chance to test water resistance yet. These will probably become my goto pant for backpacking.

I tried these on yesterday, I'm aabout 5'10" 140lbs and the smalls actually seemed a little too small (about a 30" waist) but the mediums were way to big! I could probably put up with the smalls being a little snug, but if I gain any weight ever around the midsection theyre done. That being said, they felt awesome! the stretch was just the right amount, had a really durable feel. Warm but I didn't get hot in the dressing room, and the pockets were fuzzy on the inside which i kinda like.

As Advertised

By:
December 31, 2010

I read all the reviews on the Scree Pants by Marmot and after putting them through some paces I have to say they've performed as advertised. I have yet to wear them in any significantly wet weather. One of the best parts about these pants is the simple fact that you barely know you're wearing them. There is virtually no restriction of movement. I'm 6'1" 200 pounds and I wear a 34 x 34 in most pants. I purchased the large and they're a little loose but will work.

Update; got down to my "fighting weight" of 187 and pant size of 33 x 34. I had to buy a pair of medium longs, which fit perfect.

Great Pants. I'm 6'2" 210 lbs with a 35" waist and went with the large. Nice quality, nice length, nice material. The articulation is unrestricting. I use these for my all purpose winter sports. I have yet to try them in the summer but anticipate they will work well when the barometric pressure drops and weather turns gnarly. Definitely recommend and have gotten compliments from others wanting a pair.

I use these for winter hiking with Patagonia Capilene 1 as a baselayer. R1s would be a good choice also, especially as it gets colder. I've thought of the combination, but haven't gone there yet. I currently use an R1 Hoody, so know how good the R1 fabric is.

Go for it.

Although the Scree pant is pretty breathable, it might be a little warm for 70-80 temps. It's best as a spring hike/ski/climbing pant. You might check out the Marmot Estes pant. It is a lighter weight stretch nylon pant that works great in warmer conditions.

for 100 you can't go wrong. super light, stretchy, breath well. I'm 5'11", 170lbs, and wear a large, with a belt and the pants are a bit long. but when you wear them with hiking boots, they don't drag on the ground. don't wear them with poofy skate shoes, you'll look funny! They did snag nicely on blackberries. But most pants do. Kept light rain off, and never felt clammy on my skin.

Fairly water resistant, most stuff beads off, but wouldnt wear them in a rain storm.

Sized small, so go a size up (marmot likes em tight). I am a 34-35inch waist and size L was super tight on me arse. I have a 35inch inseam and regular length is suitable.

They are super stretchy.... pretty breathable. Wore them in 15-20 degree temps with light baselayer underneath, solid temperature regulation. Threw on a shell when I got to camp as was comfortable.

Just what I needed

By:
November 17, 2011

So I am currently wearing the scree pants, fresh out of the package. My first reaction upon trying them on? "Sweet!" (add mental image of goofy fist-pump) I did some high knees to test them: they have complete free range of motion. If I had the ability to do a split, I could do one wearing these pants. Unbelievably comfortable. I got these for an upcoming trek in India and Nepal. I am 5'10", 175lbs, medium frame. I have the medium/short screes. I may never take them off again. Will update after I take them hiking, but I am confident they will be awesome.

I bought these pants for an upcoming climbing/hiking trip in Wales. They are, bar none, the most comfortable pair of pants I own. I am the type of person who wears shorts 3 seasons a year. These pants may change that. They are super stretchy, breathe well, and resist abrasion. In fact, I can high step higher in these than in most shorts. My wife is jealous because she doesn't have a pair (yet). One note, I wear an L in these pants, and I'm 210 lbs and 6'2" with a 36" waist. I'm usually between an L and XL in most gear.

Pretty Good

By:

They are super comfortable. I have used them for hiking in utah winter weather and in temps around the 60s-70s. Much hotter than that and they start to over heat. By far they are the best for climbing in. They are really easy to move in and breathe really well. They actually breathe a little too much for winter. I would not use them in 32 F or below without a base layer of some kind.

Love these!

By:
December 19, 2010

These pants rock. A couple of years ago I got tired skiing/snowboarding in clammy Gore-Tex pants and I decided to give these a try. These things are the best. They are cool enough for spring skiing by themselves but if you throw on a power stretch baselayer, they are warm enough for single digit temps. The best part is that if you get wet, you will dry out quickly. On a recent trip to Park City, we started out our day with a wet snow, rain mix at the bottom of the hill. Sitting on a wet chair up to mid-mtn had me convinced that I was in for a long day (or maybe a short day), but after one run, I was dry. And when we hiked a couple of bowls, I didn't even break a sweat.I'm 6'3" 230lbs with a 37" waist and 36" inseam. I have a XL and as a pure ski pant, it's just a tiny bit snug. Not 1980's tight, but snug enough that it hugs the legs while skiing. (They fit like relaxed fit jeans while standing.) I've been searching for a pant with a slightly more relaxed fit all fall and decided to just get the next size up in these. This is the most versatile pant I've ever owned and you can't beat the price!

By:

I agree with other comments here. They convinced me to give these pants a try. It is difficult to find nice pants that fit a 33 waist and 33 inseam. The medium regular comes acceptably close with a stretch waist and 32 inseam. I agree with other comments that Marmot does not need to make their logo so conspicuous.

Good all around soft shell pant

By: Backcountry.com Employee
November 23, 2010

I've got the black pants (even though I hate black outerwear) and love 'em. They've been perfect for all but the coldest days skiing, resort or backcountry. Although if you plan on falling alot, I'd stay away because even though they do a pretty good job shedding snow and water, they will definitely soak through if you're laying in the snow.

Other than skiing, I love the somewhat close fit for ice climbing (catching pants with crampons sucks!) and they're breathable and strechy enough to use for rock climbing on cooler days.

Extremely durable and comfortable

By:
January 23, 2011

Love these pants. Very stretchy and comfortable. Didn't take them off once including sleeping for three days on Rainier. I went glissading from Muir down in them. At first, I tried a garbage bag for protection but it proved clumsy and I was too tired or lazy to pull out my hardshells. So, I said forget it and just went down on the softshell Screes. It was cold on my butt for sure and while sliding I was worried the whole time that I was wearing them out or they would get snags or runs. To my delight when I got down, couldn't even tell I'd been sliding on ice for what was literally a couple miles on my rear.

My only complaint is that the elastic waistband is reeeeally stretchy but that just could be that I have a size a little big. This can be solved as they do come with belt loops so all is good.
