I really wanted to like these pants. They have great potential, but somehow Marmot dropped the ball on this one, with regards to quality.

I am 6' tall and approx. 175 lbs. I typically wear a 33" waist. I purchased these pants to use for snowshoeing in the winter, and for hiking in the warmer months.

I purchased the medium and the large. The medium fit just a tad smaller than I like, but would be fine for summer use over lightweight pants or shorts. The waist was just right. The large fit better for winter use over a layered pant system, but the waist was just a bit too loose, and there is not enough adjustment to tighten them to where they would not fall down.

Pros:
Lightweight
Water-proof
Pockets
Full zips work good

Cons:
Limited adjustment in waist
Elastic around ankle cuff seems a bit weak
Both pairs started to de-laminate in the crotch after only ONE hike. Hence my 2-star rating. Returned because of this.

If these pants did not de-laminate, I would give them a 3 or 4 star rating. Probably 3 stars, considering the cost.
