Northface quality

Ranked #24 - Men's Ski Pants
December 11, 2008
You know, everytime I try another outerware product, I find I'm dissapointed in my purchase. NOT so with the NorthFace items. Seems that they really pay attention to product development and make quality items that your bound to enjoy. The material used in this pant has a good quality look and feel. I especially like the lining inside these pants, very soft to the touch, and thats a good thing. I have the uninsulated version and think I took the right road on this since I'm "never" cold. I do like the venting zips and chimmny effect they offer. The extra velcro behind the double button snaps at the top of the pant is a nice addition, just makes everything nice and secure. The zippers all around are very smoot to operate and the Velcro sinches at the waist are nice to snug up the pant for that custom fit. I really like the extra room in the leg area. I'm a 6"2" clydesdale, and weigh in at 225 , 36" waist, so I went with the "Large, Long" size. My wife says I have neanderthal legs, so that extra room is welcome. There also is plenty of "fit" that I can wear my "donjoy" knee brace. The only thing I would change is adding alittle more boot abrasion material at the cuffs. Once again NF goods are a worthy purchase.
