Love this pants

I got these as a gift for my mother in law who told me that she loves them. She said they're comfortable with just enough stretch to fit well throughout without being skin tight or binding. They do an excellent job at keeping her warm and blocking the wind, and on colder days she just throws a base layer under them and they're perfect.

The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that they seem to run a bit smaller than other items she's gotten from Marmot.

Love these pants. I'm 5'11'' with long legs so it is really hard to find long softshell pants and these are perfect. I go cross country skiing, climbing in colder temps and hiking in these pants and I love that they are stretchy to allow for lots of movement and weather-proof enough to keep the wind and the snow out. The pockets are nice and big too! I would recommend these to any mountain lady out there! Wish more companies made pants like this.

I absolutely love these pants, they are lightweight, flexible and nice and soft. I like how the waist is higher than your average pant these days so you can bend over and move around without worrying about your underwear showing. They are a nice length for me (I purchased the size 4 short and I am 5 ft 3 inches and 120 pounds). I did order up a size because of recommendations and glad I did. They fit perfect and pack up nicely as they don't tend to crease at all. Haven't tried in the rain yet but did run water over them and it just beaded off.

Hmm... all the reviews that say the fit is small, weird, etc don't apply to me! I love them. I am about 5' 8.5" , slim but not skinny, with long legs. The 8 long fits like a dream and looks really nice. I also really like the relatively high waist. I am SO fed up with low-waisted pants that feel like they are falling down! The zipped cuffs fit nicely over the top of my boots too.

these are my go-to pant for nearly any outdoor activity. i spend summers in denali, and am hiking for work and/or pleasure, literally every day. when its lightly raining, these pants are perfect and dry quickly. i love the soft and warm pockets for cooler days.

more recently, these have been my winter companions on big snowshoe treks in the right conditions. they aren't waterproof, but they are great for bluebird days when you know you'll be working hard on the ascent. layered with an icebreaker bottom, these pants are perfect for a big hike on a cold, clear afternoon.

i love the fit, personally. they sit high on the waist and are flattering through the leg. i am normally a size small, but i wear these pants in a 6. as the day wears on they sometimes ride down, which makes the fit awkward, but if i keep them sitting high, i find them to be super flattering.

I ordered the marmot scree pants in both6 and 8, thinking one would fit. Not the case! The fit is weird, sort of puffy in the thighs like jodphurs. Also, I thought they were short for a Regular.

Based on sizing chart wife should wear 4 with some room for comfort/movement, but they were far too tight. Make sure to size up.

I bought these for work at an ice arena and they are the best. Water beads right off them which is exactly what I was looking for. I'm 5'1", 105 lbs so I went with the 4/short as suggested by another review and they fit great over a base layer, but are slightly loose in the waist. Love the zippered pockets which feel fleece lined and are large enough to zip my 5" smartphone in. Very happy with these pants.

Breathable, flexible, and water-resistant, these are my favorite pants for mountaineering and early/late season rock climbing. They are very stretchy, offering a good range of motion. Because of the durable and water-replant fabric, you can even glissade in these with minimal bottom soaking. The thigh-fit on these pants is on the roomier side, which is great for me! I have an athletic build with very muscular legs, so I appreciate the room. The bottom of the leg cuffs fit loosely over normal shoes and light-hikers, tightly over my mountaineering boots, and not at all over my ski boots (which is ok, I don't wear these for skiing).



I have two pairs of these pants, one of which arrived with defective stitching at the crotch (i.e. a gaping hole below the zipper), but a quick run at the sewing machine fixed that problem. Other than that, these pants have shown little wear with a lot of use.

Following other reviews, I ordered up 1 size. I am 5' 2", 105 lbs, usually 0-2/25-26 in pants. Ordered these in a size 4 short and they fit perfectly (i.e., comfortable with a baselayer). Oddly, the rockstar, which is a similar but slimmer cut in a lightweight fabric, fit very differently and was too small (even in the size 4). I haven't taken these out yet but they feel very well made, have great stretch, and are a good midweight softshell for fall/winter.

They do everything I want them to - pockets, lining, ankle zip, wind and water resistant, and the "long" is long enough for me at 5'6". They will hike and climb and walk dogs. I'd tried on my usual size (6) in a store and it was too small, so I ordered an 8-Long from my favorite go-to online source, which had size and length options. All perfect ... except too big in the waist. I searched in vain for an elastic tab with which to adjust. Alas. Fortunately there are belt loops. Since this isn't the first time I've had this problem, I do have belts.

I am 5'-0" and 95lbs. The 2 fits perfectly and is not too long. I typically wear a 0 or 00, so the pant definitely runs small. The waist is very high which is not ideal for young ladies but with a shirt over the waist, no one can tell. I have tried on dozens of women's hiking pants and these were the only ones small enough to fit me. After hiking in cold temps in Anchorage, AK...I give these a thumbs up. Water resistant and warm. Hiked in 30deg temps without leggings underneath, and 10 degrees with leggings. I wasn't cold a bit.

I purchased size 8 in the 'long', because I am 5'10" and I always wear jeans size 6 or 8 that have a 34" inseam. The long version is supposed to be long, isn't it? When I tried these on at home I was so surprised. They are not long at all, they barely brush the floor. I'd say they are cut like a inseam size 32" at most. Also, I bought them for spring backcountry touring. They do not fit over the boot, even when the zipper on the bottom is open. Not even close. It's definitely not a good backcountry ski product. The material is quite thin too. I don't think I would ski in them. If I was shorter I would consider them for fall/spring hiking, etc., but I tried them on with hiking boots and they didn't look long on them either.
