I’m a Marmot Mountain Club Ambassador and spend a lot of time climbing small and big mountains. When I got these pants, I couldn’t believe how perfect they were. They fit so perfectly and make my bum look good haha. Love the belt in it and the fabric breaths so well. Nice and light yet super strong. Spent 6 days on a big mountaineering trip wearing it the whole time and everything is intact. Even the crazy rock climb and mixed climbing didn’t intimidate these pants. OBSESSED!
Repelled water. Dirt washed right out. Can roll up in cuff and tighten for ankle height if want more air or if dirty. Belt helps with fit because do loosen with wear. Very flattering shape. One small front zip pocket. Wore on trip to Norway, during which did 7 total lengthy hikes. Can also wear with base layer for warmth. I am ~133 pounds, 5’6” and the size 6 fits great. 33 year old. Athletic legs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice spring / summer casual pants. I am 5’ 3” and 110lbs, and ordered a size 6, which was unfortunately a little big. The next size down would have been too short waisted for me, so I sent them back without ordering another pair. The length was a bit long on me, too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really liked the fabric and pocket placement on these. Returned because they didn't fit quite right for my pear shape body (true to size fit in hips, waist had lots of puckering when cinched tight).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pants fit true to size but are a little long on me, which makes them bunch up on my lower leg. They are a nice lightweight pant with enough stretch for climbing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like how light and stretchy they are. They got highly recommended by my experienced friend who hikes everywhere as must have.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not my fit. The waist was tight but the hips baggy. Good pants if they fit you.
This should be labeled at 7/8 if not shorter, and I’m only 5’5
