The North Face Venture Side Zip Pant - Women's

Item #TNF7098 | 50 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Depends what you need them for.

By Ranked #817 - Women's Pants December 9, 2008

I recently wore these on a hiking trip to the Olympic Peninsula in WA. Very wet and rainy area known for its high rainfall and temperate rain forest. Although it is true that these pants do keep out water whether it be mist, fog or rain the fit is lacking. They are very high in the waist and fit more like men's pants than womens. I recommend getting one size smaller than what you wear. I'm a size 14 and the XL was way to big on me. The pants are very durable, I fell several times on slippery terrain and the pants did keep me nice and dry and no rips were seen. When walking you get the tell tale swish, but that's to be expected with rain pants. If you're looking for durable adventure then these pants are for you, but if you want to show that you have any shape then choose something different.
