Marmot Exum Pant - Men's

Item #MAR0878 | 0 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Tears easily and poor warrenty!!

By Ranked #1734 - Men's Ski Pants February 5, 2009

The Marmot Exum pant is a great pant when beating the weather. I just recently bought a pair and took them up on Mt. Washington this past January and they performed great. Earlier this month during a snow storm I went to a local hill and was practicing self-arrest techniques. When I got home I saw a 2 inch vertical tear right below the belt line on the back side of the pant. I didn’t panic because I figured Marmot would just fix them up for me but their warranties do not cover wear and tear so i will have to pay a fee. If I am going to spend this much money on a pant and it tears while practicing self-arrest in wet snow and the company will not back it up it makes me question their product. Which is sad cause a lot of my gear is from Marmot and it is usually excellent. I would not put forth the money on this pant due to its thin material and poor warranty.

Just one point: if you buy a Toyota car, and crash it on a light, will you ask Toyota to give you a new car...
