Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Marmot Men's Oracle Pant (Fall 2008) The Oracle Pant by Marmot is a lightweight, highly breathable pant with suspenders. Includes durable stretch fabric in key movement areas. Features: PreCip Dry Touch Technology, Waterproof/Breathable 100% seam taped Reinforced seat and knees Full side zips Zip front hand pockets Removable adjustable suspenders Adjustable waist with snap closure and zip fly Cordura Cuffs Elastic leg cuffs Anatomic Articulation Zones Standard Fit"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Oracle Pant could very well be the most versatile shell pant that Marmot has ever made, and offers a less expensive alternative to Gore-Tex pants. Use for everything from casual summer backpacking to serious mountaineering. Use them alone or in conjunction with soft shell pants. Say you're backpacking or hiking in your shorts in summer, and before you know it a cloud bursts. Throw on the Oracles without the suspenders to save weight, crack the side zips for venting, and enjoy bomber protection and breathability from Precip Plus material with Dry Touch technology. Stretch panels in the seat and knees give you freedom of movement where the body demands it. Or if you're climbing or backcountry skiing in soft shell pants, and it starts to dump, pull on the Oracle, superior to other shells for stretch that climbers love, suspenders for a great fit, and side zips for ventilation. Indeed, the Oracle Pant is the replacement to Gore-Tex you've been looking for, giving you similar waterproof protection and breathability, but at a fraction of the cost."

"I completed a month and a half of sea kayaking and mountaineering in Chilean Patagonia from March through mid-April. I am normally very pleased with all of my Marmot gear, but these were useless to me.

One of the recommended uses on the Marmot website is mountaineering and the fabric is not tough enough to deal with any serious hiking or mountaineering."
