good addition to waterproof wardrobe By Mom on the run from Boston, MA on 08/19/2009 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Inseam: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Was looking for breathable, waterproof pants without spending a bundle. Haven't test-driven these yet, but they appear to be well made. Unlike others, I didn't need size up (altho legs seem roomier than waist).
Marmot Oracle Pants Quality Bargain! By myob602 from Phoenix, AZ on 07/21/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Inseam: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these to wear sailing in the Northwest. They have a reinforced seat and knees- key features. Pants are beautifully made. They do run small. I am a pear-shaped size 8 and bought a Large to have room for an underlayer or two. I haven't tried them in weather yet, but my Marmot Precip jacket has worked out well. The brand quality and pricing sold me.
By Rocky Mountain backpacker from Denver, CO on 06/21/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Stylish, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Advanced Inseam: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Am in my 50s, so took the advice of others who commented on the small sizing and ordered 1 size up. They have a flattering fit - not like other baggy rain pants. Have not used yet in the rain, so can't give it a higher rating. They look well constructed. My legs are fairly long (32" inseam) and Marmot's pants are always long enough for me. Will re-rate them after use in the rain.
By PNW Mountaineer from Pacific Northwest on 04/21/2009 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Waterproof Best Uses: Backcountry, Hiking Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: It would have been the perfect rain pant, but way too small. I don't remember seeing the word "stretch" in the description, but it was definately on the label when I received them. Not sure why you would ever want a stretch rain pant, especially when it is meant to be an over layer. The girl I sold them to is a small, and they were even tight on her. GO BIG, OR GO HOME!
Nice, but for younger buyers By northcountry person from Canton, NY on 03/25/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Inseam: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These were nice pants, but built for the younger generation. A stylish fit that was too restrictive for me, a senior citizen.
