Actually Gore Tex Performance Shell
By AZ Skier
Ranked #1362 - Men's Ski Pants
January 4, 2009
After receiving the pants I discovered that they are actually 3 layer Gore Tex Performance Shell, not Gore Tex Pro as advertised by the North Face themselves (a lengthy chat with The North Face actually made them aware of the inaccuracy in their description). They are just that, a 3 layer SHELL, so a good, breathable base layer is a must. Regardless, these are incredible pants. Absolutely bulletproof and very high quality. Fit is pretty accurate, fairly loose around the lower leg. I would recommend them.
