Hubby& I wore these to kayak a river at night, on a threat of rain day. They guarded us from the elements& were comfy& easy to move in.

Simply put the best rain gear! They stop the wind and rain from reaching your clothes keeping you warm and dry.

5 SallaB328
This was a great idea for my husband. He needed some inexpensive snow pants. He usually shops in the big and tall section so all other options did n't fit. This was perfect because he gets hot so he had the protection and not the added heat. He just put them on top of some exercise pants.

5 sixpack
They work great. Watched a long football game in driving rain and never soaked though.

5 Billybob
I bought these pro action rain pants before a fly in fishing trip. It rained hard all day and sporadic on 3 other days. My legs did not get wet at all. Protected me from the wind when riding the boat across the lake. Made oversized to go over my jeans and long johns. The price is great.

I ’ m walking with my dog even rainy day so wear this pants is grateful not wet! This size is perfect fit me also. Usually hard fit short my legs but it good on me. Love it

5 Juhlski
This was a replacement pair for my old ones that had done me a good 10 years' service before the left zipper slide broke. I am 5' 2 '' and really appreciate Marmot making full- zip pants in `` short. '' Because I live in an arid region, I use these mostly in winter for backcountry ski touring, layered over a pair of thermal bottoms. Aside from my unfortunate experience with the previous zipper slide, I do like the robustness of the zipper teeth. The water repellency of the fabric needs to be renewed every once in a while with a spray- on product. I have never been wet on the inside. Good fit, relaxed legs( 5' 2 '', 125 lb. wear M- short). My inseam runs around 28- 29. ''

5 Abbey
Just moved to Juneau AK and boy is it wet. I knew within in a week that not having rain pants wasn ’ t an option. I got these for their short length and full zip capabilities to put on and off with my boots. Would definitely recommend and they hold up to the rain for sure

5 Nonnie Dee
I wore these walking the Camino del Norte in the pouring rain. They kept me warm and dry and were super light to pack.

5 Swimgirl
[ These pants are comfortable, lightweight and have just right stretch- perfect for a hike in the woods- and look great. No bagginess. I am 5' 3 '' and the small fits perfectly.

5 Traveler
[ Tailored enough to look flattering for everyday wear. Very comfortable, light weight and quick drying. Ankle cinch is perfect for tropical jungle hikes. Wish they came in light gray also!

[ These pants are wonderful! Very comfortable and multipurpose…. travel, casual, nice casual and hiking wear. These are well designed and tailored for almost any situation in which you find yourself. Not very technical looking which is great for easy transitioning from task to task

5 Haystacks
Pants are relatively lightweight, stretch is amazing, and super comfortable. They get wrinkly if you let them sit in the dryer for too long. So be careful on that.

5 Jordan
I have Fessari Shorts that I love and this is my first time getting the pants. They are true to size and just as great feeling as the shorts. I like that the leg is a slightly tapered for a slimmer fit.

5 OR Employee - Ryan - Ecommerce
I 've had these for a few weeks now and I 'm a huge fan. They are a perfect everyday pant that still has a technical feel to them, being lightweight and stretchy. The trimmer fit looks great too. I 'd recommend for anyone that loves their Ferrosi hiking pants, but wants the look of a traditional 5 pocket pant.

5 JAC
These pants lived up to my expectations. I was looking for pants that were light, stretchy, and provided sun protection. Check, check, and check. I wore them in 90 degree heat and did n't think once about being too hot. And even though I purchased them for the outdoors, the khakis look good enough to wear to work. I would buy them again.

5 Kallie K
Kids go to a camp in CO where it rains a fair amount so rain pants are on the required packing list. This was the pair they had this year and they loved them. They were great because they were light weight and easy to pack. In terms of water protection they were as good as any of the previous ones they have used. I liked them as they appear to be built well and show no signs of wear after being used for a month long camp.

5 Maria P
These pants are soft, lightweight and the stretch is an added bonus for a rain paint. The sizing is true to size and I will get lots of use on these pants for both backpacking and backcountry adventures in the winter too!

5 Matt L
I ’ m super happy with these. My husband and I both have a pair. They have seen five days in the BWCAW and two weeks in the bighorns and wind rivers of Wyoming. Everything rain and wind to hail and wet snow. Great pants to have in the top of your pack for whatever the weather throws at you.

4 Still Wandering
From the description, I 'd much rather wear these than my current rain pants. But what's the inseam for a Medium? Size Small looks long on your 5' 8 '' model.

[ Great rain pants for backpacking — super light. Ankle zippers are a bonus. No side pockets though, worth it for the weight savings. We 'll see how well Pertex holds up to UV and continual use over several years...

5 Patty
[ Super lightweight but do the trick keeping you dry and warm. Great for the unpredictable and very cold Chicago weather! It ’s my go to when I ride.

5 ToesandPaws
[ These pants are great for hiking in wet weather! Slip them on over the shorts. For reference, 6' 1 '', slim build and pants were right at a good length for me( I usually get a 32 '' inseam). Do the job as intended. Got the matching jacket, both work great.

all ready tested in a torrential downpour the lace hook worked perfect stayed dry.

5 Scott
I dug a trench in the rain, in January, during some terrible rains in the middle of the night to keep my basement from flooding. I was dry and comfortable in these pants. I suspect it's more fun to talk in the woods with them and get sweaty, and I 'll try that too, but first rev of these in the field is positive.

Hey they actually keep the wind/cold air out and have moderate breathability. Works as advertised. Elastic band fits me well although there is no draw string.

5 OR Employee Schuyler - Supply Chain
I use these leggings for running in cool to cold temperatures, and they do great with sweat management. The pocket is in a much better spot than the previous version so that they can be used to hold a phone or energy bar with minimal bouncing. They also do well in PNW wet weather, keeping my legs warm even when soaked through with rain.

5 Roberto
Predominantly a cold weather running pant, though I have used it for nordic skiing as well. I find the pant performs exactly as I hoped, meaning that I can run in above freezing temperatures without overheating, but do n't freeze at- 10C. Excellent fit, trim but not tight, great freedom of movement.

5 Pat
Very pleased. I 'm shorter/stockier( 5' 5 '' /170lbs) and the medium was great for me( 32 '' waist), although they fit a bit snugger than shown in the taller model on the website. VERY warm pants. I would have liked regular pockets as well, but the two side leg pockets work great for phone/keys. Great for shoveling snow or running and everything in- between!

5 Rod L
This is my second pair of these pants. I think they are great. I use them all winter on mountain treks. Very comfortable and when it gets colder, I just layer with my merino wool underneath. I 'm 5- 7 '' and weigh 160#. And the mediums fit great.

[ A nice simple rain pant. Has the features you need and leaves out the ones that you do n't. These consistently kept me dry and stood up to a good amount of abuse.

5 Bill
[ Worked great in Patagonia. Does run a little small. I am a 34 waist and the large was snug but the XL was too big. I still recommend buying just be sure they will fit!

[ These Gore- Tex pants fit the bill. They are lightweight, have a great fit, pack small, and allow for a base layer beneath if needed. Ice, snow, Zodiak rides, kayaking, these pants can take it all and keep you dry all the while. Would definitely buy again and recommend to others.

My new favorite pants. Comfortable- fabric and fit, durable, and humbly fashionable. Worn while working in my home office, on a hike in the forest, after a workout/swim, to the museum, to the shops with my family. No more searching for the perfect pants.

I found myself wearing sweat pants all the time because... you know, it works and feels good but I do n't want to look like a guy that wears sweat pants all the time. Now I got these pants and not only am I comfortable, but I also am able to keep it classy:) This pants are great for an expert at comfort. I feel like I could even wear these to work. I advise you combine it with a nice top.

I love the casual look and feel mixed with the tech performance. I 'm someone who often goes from a meeting to outside play and these fit the bill perfectly. The drawstring waist is super comfy and eliminates the need for belt, which I hate having to use on tech pants.

5 A-dre
I wore these pants 32 days straight while walking the Camino Frances in Spain. They were terrific. East to hand wash at night yet be dry in the morning. Lightweight for hot Spanish sunshine yet keeping me warm in the morning. Easy to zip off when your exertions make you sweaty. I did n't even bother alternating with the joggers from another brand, which quickly became my pajama bottoms for cold nights.

5 Billy
These pants are true to fit, super comfortable, and an excellent choice for those days where the cool mornings turn to hot afternoons.

5 Charles
[ Excellent pants. Very comfortable. Very nice stretch material. I own 3 pair.
