[Review] The Martha Pant by Orage

The Martha Pants by Orage pair perfectly with my Monarch jacket and while they look good, they are also extremely functional and insulated as well. If you’re like me, you get cold on even mild temp days and so the Primaloft insulation throughout is key to keeping you warm.

The 60 grams of PrimaLoft™ Silver 4flex Insulation is the perfect amount to keep your legs warm yet not feel overly bulky. The Prime 30 fabric, which is not only waterproof and breathable but also a 4-way stretch material, combined with the 4flex PrimaLoft makes for a very comfortable fabric. The pants stretch with you no matter what you are doing and they are overall just very comfortable to wear.

As I mentioned in the video, I’m normally a size large in Orage but for these particular pants, I sized up to the extra large. With the large, they felt great in the thighs and waist but felt way too short for my liking. I felt comfortable going with the XL because of the adjustable tabs on the waist! They are plenty long and bit baggier than I would prefer but they don’t feel like they’re falling off when I’m on my way up or down because of the precise adjustment I can get.

The reinforced cuffs are a huge plus and while it’s kind of hard to make out in the video, I think it will do an adequate job of keeping my cuffs from ripping when I hit them with my ski edges.

I wasn’t sure I’d love the non-traditional vents, which are placed on the outside of the thigh, but once I had them open, it felt the same as all my pants with the inner thigh vent. I may even be convinced that they allow more air through, as they are on the outside of the legs thus not obstructed by anything.

If you’re looking for a high quality, waterproof, breathable, and insulated pant for skiing or riding, be sure to check out the Martha Pants. I feel like they are a very good pant for the money and will keep you warm and dry no matter what kind of conditions you find yourself riding in. I paired my Martha Pants with the Monarch Jacket which is an absolutely killer 3-in-1 jacket that Orage has.
