nice jacket,purchased for my teenage son to knock around in. Color dipected on website is not accurate; jacket received was solid black and not the fade dipicted. still a very nice jacket for the $$. sizing is accurate, very nice construction quality.

bought these to act as a liner for leather ski gloves that didnt have any; mission accomplished.
usual Patagonia quality, fit and finish.

I currently own 6 pair of Point6. in hot/humid mid-atlantic summer I have never had a blister. in subfreezing back country, never a cold toe. Quality far exceeds SmartWool, EuroSocks, Bridgedale which I have also owned. thanks to BC for carrying such a wonderful product.

Very satisfied with this goggle. fits my face well, (med/lg)with great field of vision. best fit I have found with my Boeri helmet. Photo/Chro works well. Nice venting.

blows the door off most brands of ski/board socks that I own (Burton, Smart Wool,Point6). along with my 3/4 length base layer, provides ample warmth for extended BC adventures. uber comfort and well placed padding that isn't too thick. Roba Buano!

purchased this for my 14y.o. son as a school book bag. very well constructed with nice features. judging from the quality, he should be hauling this to school for the next four years. plenty of room for a weekend trip too.

fit is ok. material has a soft hand compared to prior versions (I have 3pr). zipper is questionable; zipper sticks (usually in the up position) which is a major pain if you've been at the pub all evening. zipper on my oldest pair (less than 1 y.o.)stays up about half the time.
******update; zipper failed, returned the pants

spent the week in Dolly Sods Wilderness. Weather front charged in from Canada producing 30-40mph winds and 27dF, = windchill of 8dF. with a midweight marino base and fleece vest I was sweating a bit (didnt feel like stopping to remove vest).
i have braod shoulders and an ever expanding mid-rif; excellent fit in shoulders and nice athletic fit in mid-rif, perfect fit sans vest. Wind, what wind? may fit a bit loose for the extremely fit, just right for us normal folk. not too many bells and whistles, liking the shoulder vs. chest pocket for lip balm and glasses wipe. it was snowing during my trip so I cant comment on rain shedding ability. another quality Marmont piece!!

Purchaed this to replace my 12yo+ Gregory Wind River. At 5'11" 240lb, I purchased the Medium as my torso length dictated. Another review metioned purchasing a medium belt on large bag, not sure this will work when it comes to fitting the shoulder straps properly. even with my shorter torso and selecting the medium pack, shoulder straps still have some gaps after lowering to the lowest position. this is a minor point for me. the pack works very well! a recent multi day solo trip to Dolly Sods Wilderness (day time temps, mid 20s) showed this pack to be a capable piece. holds all my winter gear except for the extra ridgerest I bring on extreme cold days, this lashed to the outside easily. the trip consisted of easy rolling mountain top travel wth several stream crossings. the crossings require some nimble rock hopping, the pack was extremely well balanced for this aspect. the winter load being hauled was hardly noticed. there isnt an over abundance of bells and whistles on this piece which I appreciate, just a good solid pack. as with most backcountry gear, make sure you size it properly.

my biggest beef with this piece is its lack of durability. only one season old and this top has developed holes. I take extreme care of my gear and yet this one didnt hold up to moderate use. I think it may have to do with the wool content. I have found that my other merino pcs that contain a higher synthetic to wool ratio tend to hold up better. some may argue that you loose anti funk abilities and I would agree, but this is a cold weather piece and I often camp alone. I'll take longevity over stink ability 6 days a week.
I also found this piece to be the itchiest top I own. two other IB items i've purchased have had similar wear and tear issues.

two detractors from these otherwise solid rain pants.
1) the velcro waist taps struggle to stay put.
2) the wetted out to quickly for my liking or use. after two hours of a moderate downpour, the thigh area had wetted out.
as a light piece for a day or weekend trip in moderate conditions, they are ok.

........but doesnt fit like a blanket; standard fit. like most Arc products this a high quality piece of gear. Super warm, super soft next to skin. I would not recommend this for use over 32dF, high aerobic activity, its just too warm. my primary uses are back country winter hiking in WVA and long cold days on the lifts as a baselayer. with the discontinued colors on sale, I will be purchasing another.

this is a regular fit jacket, well made, doesnt pack as small as some of the puff balls out there. looks like it will hold up well if treated with care. two big interior pockets to store beenie, gloves, etc. Super soft.

i purchased this based on dcc462032976' comment about the fleece only going up a few inches. I tend to overheat while my ears always freeze....problem solved. looks good, simple design, fits my 7 3/8" head perfect, not too tight or too loose.

I agree with Weathering the Lions, a nice rain pant for the $$. wore these in a six hour down pour; cold, vertical blowing rain on the AT in December. there was some leakage but only cuz I had neglected to close the zippered pocket. siszing is very good; I'm packing a few extra pounds these days and all of my Marmot gear has just the n'th extra amount of space so I dont have to buy the XXL.
I'm 5'11" and 245lbs. all in all a good option for a mid priced serviceable rain pant.

only had these a few days but lovin em so far. barely tell I have em on. didnt give them a five until i see how they hold up to trail life and multiple washings. my first and only pair of Smartwool skivvies disintegrated like wet TP in a windstorm. the wool content in the IO doesnt appear to be the same as SW but that may be a plus. time will tell. is that TMI for a pair of undies....

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small. size XL felt like a medium. order 1 to 2 sizes up.

wear these mostly for wet wading while flyfishing. very good traction on wet,slimy rocks. enough tread to safely get up and down embankments. super comfortable, a little loose in the fore foot but has effective bungy tightening system. very good overall if you spend a lot of time gettin wet!

the zip lock top is tricky to get a good seal and can leak even when you think it is securely closed.packs well and fills easily. I'll probably try another make/model when the time comes.

great fit, uber adjustable. Highly recommended. great fit with my smith goggles

very light, yet strong. opaque so that you can make out silouette of items inside. roll top/buckle closue provides nice grab/hanging loop. packs down to nothing when empty.

nice pad, great weight to comfort ratio. mummy style nice for smaller footprint tents. make sure your lungs are in good shape.

soft, warm, great fit. best suited for layering on very cold days as a base layer. anything warmer than 32d and you'll be sweating bullets

nice skivies, plan to purchase more. even better if you can find em cheap

good tent for the money, i got it on another site for 200 even. i would only call this a two person tent if you are a) very comfortable with your tentmate and b) not cluastrophobic. I'm not knocking the tent, it just runs on the small side. typical MH quality and will make a fine solo tent for me. I prefer a littile more room than most solo tents provide.

very nice next to the skin. waste band folded over and creased like it was starched. the 3/4 length helps to beat heat buildup.

as the other review states; this thing might be mistaken for a shell due to its water shedding ability. it is also the warmest fleece I've owned. so warm in fact that some may find it too much for highly arobic activity on anything other than subfreezing day. that said, I feel this jacket could probably suffice most to needing no more than long sleeve Cap2 underneath. Construction is phenominal, zippers work flawlessly and wind resitance is top notch. cut and fit is perfect for my 6' 235lb frame. with just enough room to add a camp sweater but not so loose as to loose its thermal qualities or look baggy. yes its pricey but your looking at a jacket that could easily last ten years. btw, color is way off from that shown on BC site.

To those confused with the different sizing comments, allow me to confuse you further. I am 6'235lb and normally wear a XL for my size 38 waist. took a chance and purchsed the large as this was the upper end of the MH size chart for these pants. I would say the fit is just right. the fit it is snug in the waist but the fabric has a very nice stretch. there is no binding, chaffing etc. the only con; the leg hem cinch does not work, I ended up cutting them off. I wear gaiters half the time anyway and dont need them.

only had these out a few times. breath well on warmer days, pill a little after washing. best fly on ANY pair of skivies ever owned. longevity will prove if worth the cost.

athletic/regular fit with a nice loose, but not too loose sleeve. breathes well and not too itchy

Well made, warm, but the size 10.5 on my 10.5 foot left my toes screaming after only a few runs. I suggest a half size larger then what you normally wear.
