Wear the Marmot Tamarack Pant and let your legs do the work as you ascend the knife-ridge. Whether you plan to ski down or just summit in good time, the Marmot MemBrain waterproof breathable fabric will get you there and back down comfortably. All the seams are taped and the pockets are water resistant to guard against snow that screams by you as you climb where no man belongs.
The Tamarack is anatomically fit so your pants work with your stride, not against it
Cordura scuff guard protects your pants around the ankles from ski-edge and crampon punctures
Boot loops and gaiters construct an impenetrable barrier that lets nothing in
Ankle zippers let you put on your boots fast when your camp is no longer safe and you have to get down the mountain now
Bottom Line: Reach higher and climb faster with the Tamarack.
I really enjoyed being able to test these pants out. They are warm for a shell, very flexible, and the fabric is high quality. The fit is true to the size and a nice slim looking adult skier pant. The only downside is different colours would be nice, but the black I was able to test was sleek enough to make the purchase a must. I decided to not get the pants only because I was looking for something with more colour. The performance and comfort for skiing in these pants will be missed.
Got these pants last winter, and they've been great for skiing and hiking. They are plenty warm (with a good baselayer when it's cold), the fabric is durable, and the waterproofing is excellent. I purchased a small (I'm 5'7", 150lbs), and they fit well, although I do have to agree with others that they run a bit long. Hardly a reason to pass these up. Overall, excellent value and excellent quality.
I bought Marmot ATV pants a few years ago, and LOVE them. They're discontinued now, and, confusingly, Marmot has at least 3 things that on a website *look* identical: 1. "Scree" -- definitely not the same -- they're very lightweight (I saw them in a store); the ATV pants were okay in summer but okay in winter too -- warm, but breathable. 2. "Tamarack" 3. "Tioga" What current Marmot pant is closest to its ATV of 4 years ago? The answer might be Tamarack, Tioga or something else. Thanks!! Charles B. K
Actually, the Tamarack pant is a hard shell pant. It is made out of 2 ply Membrain. It is a pull on pant with an ankle zipper and internal gaiters. If you're looking for a soft shell pant similar to the ATV go for the Tioga, it is a 7.1 oz double weave and is warmer than the Scree which is a 6.3 oz double weave.

I just bought this pant in an XL to use as an outerlayer for skiing, touring, etc. Fit was OK with the XL.. I am 6' tall, 210 lbs.. I got to product test this last week in Mammoth, in BLIZZARD conditions-60+ mph winds, blowing snow, etc., on Tuesday,11/23/10 it was a WHITEOUT, and I had to go out into town for food, etc....The pants protected me from all of it...nothing got thru, and I wasn't uncomfortable when hiking thru town in the blizzard for well over 1 1/2 hours. The next 2 days were bluebird and pow...even in the direct sun-with a pair of black pants on, I was completely cool, comfortable and DRY!!! This is good gear!!
I actually love these pants as far as functionality is concerned...great waterproofness, insulation and just the right amount of pockets. However, like the previous review stated, they do fit a bit large. I'm 6'1", 200 lbs with a 32" waist and I got a large to be on the safe side but they're rather baggy on me. Accordingly, I recommend going down one size with these. As far as the belt loops are concerned, you can actually feed a belt through the opening where the adjustable tabs are. Initially it didn't make sense to me the way the tabs were set up, but once I figured out where to feed a belt through I was more satisfied with this product.
Cons: -Runs large (I'm 6ft/185 w/ a 34 inch waist and the large fit too big) -Only 2 belt loops (both on the front - is it too much to ask for another two loops on the back?)
Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase for the price - I doubt I'd pay more than 200 for them
Bought these for my husband for Christmas. He loves them! Got a size large for his 35" waist. It was a bit big but able to cinch up the waist and they fit perfectly, especially with a baselayer. He also loves the dark gray color. He wears them for skiing and playing in the snow with the kids. The pants keep him very dry and warm.
