Marmot Cargo Pant - Men's

Spent 4 days @ Snowbird in everything from 8" deep powder to groomed runs and dripping chairlifts (got above 32 on a couple occasions near the bottom of the mountain). The pants had no sign of wear, tear, wetness, etc. Good thing I bought black - I'll be wearing these for years to come! P.S. I wore only a thin pair of stretchy tights underneath and felt very comfortable even when it dipped down to about 20 degrees with a 25 mph wind.

The Marmot Cargo pants have met and exceeded my needs. These pants are 100% waterproof and have ample pockets for all of your snowboard tool needs. The knee pads are a must for any snowboarder, and the extra fleece lining in the seat never leave you cold and wet. Marmot has done it again!

Though it's not the absolute perfect pant, for the money it can't be beat. Great for skier or snowboarder, the Cargo pant has many features not found on more expensive pants. Tons of pockets. The mesh lining turns into a soft thin fleece lining around the seat to give just that little extra warmth while sitting in the snow or riding the lifts. The removable knee pads are a nice bonus too. If you are looking for a pant that's a little more burly looking than the rest, look no further. As for waterproofness, they kept me dry while skiing in the rain at Panorama this spring, so no problems there.

I'm a big Marmot fan and these pants are solid. Functionally they work just fine - what you would expect from ski/snowboard pants. Two gripes. One, Marmot sizing is too small. I wish they made sizes more like The North Face. I normally wear a Medium for almost all men' stuff, but needed a large here. They are true to their sizing. If you wear anything over a 32" waist, you need the large or higher. Second, the knee pads are too low. They are off about 6". I think it's a great idea to have them, but I had the same problem with both Med & Large sizes and I am 5-8. Otherwise solid offering from Marmot

It doesn't seem as if marmot put much thought into these pants. The articulated knees are nice, as well as the design and function of the cargo pockets. I've found the knee pads to be nice whether tele or snowboarding. My gripes: h20 doesn't bead very well when wet. The surface material absorbed much of it, however I never felt it on the inside of the pant. The leg vents are small and should definitely be larger. The main hand pockets at waist are just like jean pockets with a small piece of velcro keeping it closed, still allowing snow to enter the pocket when you turf it. All and all, not too impressed. I purchased a pair of rip curl pants a few years ago and liked them much better than these. On a side note, they fit snug, which I like for the back country, but not for the lifts.

I just purchased my second pair of this pant. I bought this pant 2 years ago, and am just peplacing it now after over 200 days of skiing and I still stay dry. One of the features I love about this pant is the knee pad pockets. I telemark and wear a knee brace. This pant is perfect!! The knee pad is in the pant and does not interfere with my knee brace. Very comfortable pants and looks great as well. I highly recommend these pants
