5 Marmot Scree Pant Review

I used the pants for climbing. They fit well and are very comfortable. They give a good protection against the wind. The use of rock climbing in the winter in Spain. The cold days of needed supplement them with a baselayer. Are good for summer climbing in the Pyrenees. The moderate heat and cold temperatures are ideal for these pants. The cut fits like a glove and gives you great freedom of movement. In short, good in summer, autumn and spring. A little thin for the winter.

I bought a pair of these for Summer Multi-Pitching on the mountain crags of north Wales and Scotland, as well as for some winter walking.

The fabric is great, stretchy enough, giving great movement when making that tricky move, and repels water and wind like nobody's business!

I personally really like the draw cord at the hem, especially for when wearing rock shoes. The zip does feel a little useless, the leg fits comfortably over my pair of Scarpa walking boots. Pockets are great and their fleece lined which is great on cold days.

For the price Id say these are an amazing pair of pants. When mine die Ill certainly buy another pair.

Just back from holiday in Scotland, where I wore my Screes most of the time on the West Highland Way and elsewhere. I found them significantly more comfortable than my old, non-stretchy walking trousers. I missed having leg pockets big enough for an OS map (but they probably wouldn't work anyway in stretch fabric), the black fabric can get uncomfortably hot in direct sun, and for my use the zip and drawstring at the bottom of the legs is just pointless clutter.

I also took a pair of Rab Treklites, which are very similar; they lack the zip/drawstring clutter and have a neat clip-on-a-tape in one pocket to store keys more securely, but their leg pocket opens at the side instead of the top (which I prefer) and - the biggest difference - fabric is clumsier. Niggles apart, the Screes win easily and I'm very pleased with them.

I used the Scree pants for a 7 day high alpine ski tour, the Route Haute, in April 2010. It's a very thin trouser, I wore it as base layer while skiing / touring after skiing I wore it in the evenings in the huts, too.

First I wasn't really convinced, I feared that the trouser might not be too thin (we had -20 C some days) - but it worked well, and I was never cold on the legs. The stretchy material is nice and comfortable to wear and the pockets have zips, which I find very useful. The cuffs fit well over ski trousers. As waterproof layer I used the RAB Bergen pants with full side zip, which I recommend as well.
