Out There Spring 2009 Scree Pant

Two words: Love ‘Em! You might notice the comfort of these hiking/scrambling pants right off the bat by the ‘driclime’ liner for your hand, which wicks moisture away but also keeps your fingers warm. Here’s just one example of the way Marmot builds their gear for guides and outdoor enthusiasts with their needs thoughtfully in mind. For climbing, trekking, hiking, scrambling, or just walking around town, here’s “one stop shopping,” pants-wise at least. You get a soft shell pant that gives you stretchiness, breathability, and durability. But above all, you get a good-fitting pant that’s not too snug, not too loose. These soft shells should be good from spring to late fall. Perhaps with a little underlayer, the Marmot Scree pants could be versatile enough even for those really cold snow-shoe treks. – Joel Lycklama
