[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way these fit so much that I bought another pair in a different color. But the pockets are too small! When I am sitting down, my lip balm will fall out of the front pockets and the back pocket is barely big enough for my phone. For a short hike I want to be able to stow a few small items securely in my pockets and not carry a pack. Unfortunately, these pockets are not deep enough.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pants are well made. They are lightweight and great for summer. I bought a pair for my wife and length (29") is perfect for her (regular length 32' is too long). My wife likes them so much she wear them on daily basis. Marmot please carry more pants in short length as many people in my circle wear short length.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pants fit me well. I appreciate the stretch. They are light, so good for hot weather, but substantial. And they don't obviously look like hiking pants so can be worn more places.I would prefer if the belt was a removable full belt, and also would like more closures on pockets (button Velcro or zipper).
the sizing on these are absolutely ridiculous. i usually wear size 8 but had to go up to a 12 to get these to fit around my waist. because of this they are way too long and baggy around the crotch and legs. i kept them only because they were on sale and i might be able to make them work as backup pants
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never worn hiking pants before and didn’t know what to expect. Marmot’s Kodachrome pants are amazing! The fit is flattering. The material is comfortable and durable. I felt confident and at ease wearing these awesome pants. They’re lightweight, easy to wash and dries quickly. LOVE them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sizing between brands is always odd, but these are true to size. Pants were not only perfectly fitting, but extremely comfortable and perfect for our hiking excursions. It provides flex in all the right spots while hiking on up and down various inclines.
I am so happy to have found high-waisted pants for hiking/climbing/outdoors! These pants fit well and stay up while climbing. They're lightweight and stretchy, easy to move in. They are fitted so I sized up. Please make these pants in green!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these pants. Very comfortable for hiking and outdoor activities. The draw string at the ankles are great for those of us with short legs. Still trying to figure out how to open the belt clip, but I will eventually get it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the fit. There’s enough room to move without being too baggy. I’m 5’1” 140lbs, the length was perfect for what I wanted (hit just below ankle). The inside could be softer and I wish the belt was removable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pair of hiking pants and I love the navy blue color. The pants are made of very durable material and fit well. The waist sits at my natural waist and is very comfortable. The pockets are great too.
