[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, these pants ended up being a tad too small for me to wear. I have high hopes that I will lose a little weight and be able to use them because they are such nice quality. The length was great, which is hard to come by with a longer inseam, pants like these tend to be too short and look awkward with shies/boots. I do not think that will be the case with these. I love the included belt and zipper pockets. The pockets are also a nice, deep size, showing the high quality of the pants. Can’t wait to wear them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited about these! I’m in South Dakota so for this time of year it’s a bit chilly but are going to be perfect when Spring comes. These outdoor pants are water resistant and very lightweight. The material while soft seems to be really durable and stretchy. These pants have a nice feminine fitting shape with four zippered pockets and a very nice belt. The bottom of the legs have a cinch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, these pants are such nice quality! These Marmot pants are great for outdoor activities (hiking, walking, biking) and I love the water resistant, stretchy material. They also fit my body perfectly and I feel super confident in them. I’m looking forward to adventuring in them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great pair or pants! There is a built in belt to help keep them in place. The ankles have small elastics to tighten if you want it tight around your boots or leave it loose for a regular leg. They stretch very well. Very very light weight. All the pockets zip. Glad I went for a size bigger than I usually wear- they seem to run a little small. I am 5'4", 138lbs and I fit well in a size 8.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit was a true 10 with flexible material. However, the belt button required a decent amount of pushing to unlatch. Also, my sitting waist is larger than my standing waist. If I make the belt comfortable when sitting, it hangs awkwardly loose when standing. It might work better if you oversize and rely on the belt. Belt was also not removable without cutting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These hiking pants are excellent. I took them on a long rainy hike and they were both water resistant and breathable — keeping me dry without overheating. They have a slim fit, but lots of stretch in the fabric so your range of motion isn’t limited. They feel both light and durable. Can’t recommend them enough.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are nice hiking pants. They are very breathable and waterproof. My main issue is the non removal belt. It doesn’t secure or come off easily and it’s not easy to tighten. While the pants fit everywhere else, the belt hung loosely in front.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If I could I would take a picture of these pants but I can’t since they don’t actually fit. I got my usual pants size, based off of measurements, and these still didn’t fit right. I struggle with outdoor pants like these fitting, I always have a hard time getting them over my calves and thighs because god forbid I have leg muscles. I really wish these fit my legs because they would be comfortable with a lot of flex to them but they are too tight on my legs and not flattering since the fit is so bad.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered a size 8 because that’s what I wear in jeans. Length wise it works. Waist wise not so much. I need a size up, but I guess it might motivate me to try and shed a few pounds. They feel comfy so kinda bummed the waist is too small. The belt I had to google how to open it and watch a video on YouTube. Still don’t care for the belt. If it fit better I would’ve said 5 stars.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pants seem really great. They wash well, have held up to walks around the park, and can be worn in office if your office is casual. I haven’t taken them hiking yet because it’s been too cold; they’re definitely shoulder season fabric weight. They fit TTS as well. I usually wear a six in athletic pants (four in athleta) and the six fit perfectly here.
