User Review: The North Face Men's Paramount Peak Convertible Pant

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $65

Summary

Great pants! I ordered two pairs of these pants as I wanted the versatility of having pants and shorts without having to pack both. They are extremely comfortable and the area where the zippers are at to convert them to shorts caused no rubbing at all!

Pros

  • Very comfortable
  • Extremely durable

Cons

  • Belt not quite quality expected

Great pants! I ordered two pairs of these pants for a hiking trip as I wanted the versatility of having pants and shorts without having to pack both in my pack.

I am a tall female and ordered the men's as often time women's pants are too short for me. As a result, when I wear them as shorts they are a bit long for me, but I don't consider that to be a major issue.  

They are extremely comfortable and the area where the zippers are at to convert them to shorts caused no rubbing at all! The durability is fantastic and they really held up well under the stress of various rough terrain that required some sliding on rocky areas. There are a good number of pockets that were helpful for storing things on the trail.

I liked that the back pockets have flaps over them with hook and loop closure.  I did feel like the belt could have a closure that is a bit heavier duty.  I felt the price was quite reasonable for the excellent quality.
