The North Face Paramount Utility Pant - Men's

Just got back from a 3.5 month trip to China, Nepal and India. I wore these pants about 50% of the days. The biggest selling point to me was their versatility in terms of comfort. I wore them in every sort of climate ranging from torrential downpours in China during a typhoon, hiking at 17,000 ft in the snow in Nepal and walking through a desert in western India. They worked in pretty much every climate. For those who intend to take these on trips, the 2 zip pockets were also excellent...especially the one that GH found to be annoying in his review. It might not be needed if you are just using them at home. But its highly useful if you're looking to stash your wallet in a pocket that won't be immediately obvious (and accessible) to pickpockets.

I love these pants! They are so light and breezy! I wear them to work and on the trail. Amazing Buy. I usually wear a 30x30 and i had to get the 30short. The North Face runs a bit long

these pants are the best overall pants i own. they fit slim and are very breathable. they are also tough and somewhat water resistant. the surplus of pockets is a plus. my only complaint is that they run so long.

I want to second the statements made by "TNF Nailed It" and "Best Travel Pants Ever". Both of their reviews sum up my experience with the pants. They are all around fantastic.

I'm not used to writing reviews about pants, but if your looking for a pair you can wear anywhere from casual wear to mountain tops, these are great!

Bought these for my husband and he loves them! Great material that keeps him cool on our day hikes and warm at night on our backpacking trips. Highly recommend!

Pardon the pun, but these are nice pants. They fit well, although somewhat baggier than I imagined, looking at the photo prior to ordering. Also, I had read some reviews that stated that the pants ran short, so I ordered them in the long. I am 6 foot 1, and wish that I had ordered them in the regular. I like the side pocket that is useful, but not overtly conspicuous. I recommend.

Bought these to hike Longs Peak. They came out unscathed. They resisted abrasions from rocks and dried quickly after a heavy rain. They look pretty good as well. I'm planning on picking up another pair (maybe a zip-off type for this time around).

I'm not a brand junkie by any means, but TNF has scored with this product. 3 days in mist and rain in Macau, and for as light as they are, I stayed warm and unexpectedly dry for the most part. Pants were completely dry after being indoors for ten minutes. Great security pockets, back pockets are large and deep enough to carry a passport size wallet. Extremely packable and they don't wrinkle. Good Stuff!

Wonderful travel pants. Zippered pockets large enough to handle passport, wallet, and other valuables providing a comforting feeling. Unlike some of the utilitarian cargo pants, these actually look pretty good if you hit a night spot that calls for a slightly dressier look. Wash at night, roll in a towel, then hang to dry and they are ready to go the next day. Best travel pants I ever owned.

This has become one of my favorite pieces of gear. As practical -or more- than jeans, and better looking. Love the fabric and fit. Especially love the "long" size, which is perfect for me. Have bought two pairs, so far...

Great travel pants. Zippered leg pocket is perfect for passport and boarding pass. Very comfortable. Roll up pant legs worked great on the beach. The best feature is that they come in short , reg. & long inseam size...short size was a perfect 30 in. inseam. Don't pass on these!

I liked em so much I bought a second pair. Fits true to size (athletic build) and are very comfortable. They're great for general purpose wear, hiking, and backpacking. The zippered pocket work great for keeping items from getting out.

The pants are good and true to size. However, it pills like crazy on the inner thigh area.

Very pleased with this product. would definitely buy again. the brown color hides a lot of dirt! wore camping and they looked good enough to go out to eat in on the way back, and i'm kind of a pigpen. very nice fit too, i'm 34" w and 34" length and they fit perfect.

Only north face pants that I have purchased that did not fit to size I ordered. Sorry.

I now have two pairs of these pants. I haven't had ANY trouble with them. For sizing, my waist is 30" but size 30 in these pants is a little too tight for me. The 32 fits me perfectly. I also had a seamstress add drawstrings in the cuffs at the ankles so I could cinch them up to my knees. Might be something North Face should consider adding for a little more versatility. GREAT PANTS!!!

I have 2 pair of the dune beige, and I love'm. the legs can be folded up and buttoned, so no grease marks on your pants from your chain. A commuters dream pant. Plus they don't bunch up. they are thin enough to wear in the sweltering South Carolina summertime.

i bought these for my man for christmas. We have already used them to go rock climbing at the gym, on a hike, and to take the dog out as he splashed rampantly through the lake. Through chalk, dirt, mud, and dog slobber these pants survived it all. No tears, no marks, easy to wash and dry. We recommend hang drying. Super fast dry and great fit. Have fun with em!

Bought these pants during their last sale and they are absolutely worth every penny. My only disappointment was that I didnot buy more than one pair. Great review earlier saying to buy a size larger than you need too, mine fit great!

Arrived on time for Christmas wickedly fast. They fit well and seem durable.

This is the best pair of paints I have purchased in a long time.
I have used them for work, biking, weekend wear, and xc skiing over light thermal layer. They are cool on hot days, warm on cool days and simply exceptional. I have to admit I bought a pair in both colors after trying the first pair.
The material is much tougher than I expected but still thin. Two minor issues. 1.) Cat hair clings to them like no one's business. ;) and 2.) The zippered pocket on the right side does not need to be there. If you cut the dangly thing then this is not nearly as obnoxious but in future Patagonia paramount designs they should wake up and remove this.

The only other thing that I would like to say is this a great bike commuting pant. Weather-resistant and the buttons near the calf allow you to roll up the paint and button easily while riding. I have worn either of the two pairs now for two weeks since I purchased and that is no lie.

Enjoy!

These seem like really nice pants, I wanted them, but unfortunately for me , I'm a 35 in. waist and the pants only come 34 or 36 in. One too tight, one too big. I opted for N.F. Paramount convertible pant which has the advantage of an adjustable built in belt and stretch waist construction so you can dial in the comfort. I also bought N.F. Meridian pant which has similar waist const. Both pants come in a short length. Come on ladies, 35 in. waist... short inseam... I'm a catch!
