Third Pair

Rating:*****

OK, no illusions, if you wear these sailing off shore you are going to get wet. And I have gotten soaked to the skin in these in heavy rain. However, for someone who back packs in Europe a lot and requires a full suit to drop into the day pack, we stay dry enough in a moderate rain inside the Venture Jacket and pant. And if you stuff in the 11 oz 700 count down fill Western Mountaineering Flight Jacket as well, you will be toasty warm even outside at a concert in the gusty winds at the farthest Western point of Europe. I was just checking in for a sale price on my third pair of this pant, however, as the durability factor is not high with heavy (daily) use; the waterproof lining starts to break down and tear away from the shell after about a year. Still I have not found another that is sharp enough looking to get me by in most circumstances from beaching it to museum, monument and palace hopping and North Face packs just enough elegance into the venture line.

Great lightweight rain pant

Rating:****

I purchased these pants before a long backpacking (hiking) trip in the Alps last year. I never had any leakage of water through the pant. Through rain, sleet, hail, and snow, these pants have kept me dry. The zippers at the bottom of the pant makes it easy to get them on and off over my boots, which is great for quick switches on the trail. The tab with hook-and-loop fastener allows for adjustment of the width of the cuff, so i could tighten the pants on the top of my boot if necessary.

The pants pack into a pocket, which makes them a tiny little package which fits into odd spaces in my pack, or into a side pocket with my jacket.

There is a tear on the bum of my pants - I must have caught them on something sharp.

Overall: great waterproofing, excellent features, but not the most sturdy fabric for heavy abuse.

"Functional AND Stylin'! Size down for a perfect fit..."

Rating:*****
Love these pants! They are functional AND stylin', and I can't wait to wear them on my trip to Alaska! I originally bought a Medium my normal size but they were pretty big on me and I ended up exchanging them for a small, which fit great. My mom also got these pants for our trip, and she exchanged hers for the next size down too. With the smaller size we can still comfortably wear jeans or long underwear underneath, there just isn't so much extra fabric now. I recommend going a size down!

Love these pants!

Rating:*****

Today was the first opportunity to use these rain pants -- and they were just great. Easy to pull on over hiking boots and jeans and although a few inches longer than would be ideal for me, the Velcro fastening at the ankles allowed me to keep the legs snug enough. I'd recommend these to anyone needing a lightweight and completely waterproof pant.

"Great fit and function"

Rating:*****
I am 5'7'', athletic and pretty skeptical, so you know I'm being honest.... The medium was a fantastic fit in the waist and length. They kept me dry, and did a great job of wicking away sweat. They are great as a top layer with leggings or a base layer underneath for extra warmth. Thank you!!

Just what I wanted

Rating:****
These pants are light weight; breath well and are perfect for hiking and running in wet weather. I am 5'2"; one roll-up of the waist band and it is a comfortable fit. I am very happy with my purchase.

"Super Sweet"

Rating:*****
I bought these for my wife. Kept her completely dry on a rain soaked trip in the White's. North face quality!!

"Nice."

Rating:*****
Nice lightweight waterproof pants. Easily fit over other pants for playing in snow/slush on warmer days.

Negative Reviews:

not for tall girls

Rating:**

Actually, these are nice pants, but I am 5'10" and they were way too short for me. I ordered a medium which fit fine elsewhere. Was disappointed that North Face only makes long sizes in the large and xlarge and that would just be way too baggy.
