I returned these pants as soon as I tried them on. They were not what I was expecting at all. The fit was very wide in the legs and looked like clown pants. Two of my friends had a good laugh at my expense when they saw me put them on. They might be good for cold conditions, but I would like a fit that was a bit more tapered.

Great jacket. This is just the additional layer that I needed for my early morning hikes.

I use this jacket over a down vest in the morning when it is 40 degrees and I feel very comfortably warm. It absolutely blocks the wind. Very lightweight, so when I do take it off, it doesn't weigh down my pack. I like Golite gear so far.

I frequently hike in the morning starting at dawn. During the winter, it can get down to freezing at dawn (southern cali). I bought this jacket as a lightweight addition to my usual vest & wind shell. It works perfectly and when it warms up, I can stuff it into my pack and not even notice the weight. It seems too thin, but the high loft down really does the trick.

I ordered a pair of these boots, but when I tried the on, the top metal lacing loop dug into the skin of my ankle. I returned this pair and asked for an exchange. The exchanged pair were even worse. I don't know how anyone could wear these boots because the top metal lacing loop is not covered by any padding and are painful when laced up. I hope North Face gets the message and corrects this design flaw.
