The North Face Monte Cargo Pant - Men's
My Favorite Pants.

Ranked #384 - Men's Ski Pants
February 23, 2009
Scored the OD Digi-Camo print version on clearance last spring, and when i tried them on, i couldn't wait for winter. Super comfy, super functional. Front pockets are perfectly-positioned like jean pockets are. Thigh vents are quite useful, cargo pockets are sized and positioned just right. Somehow, TNF got the baggy look just right, while getting them to actually fit like tailored pants should fit -- without an excessively long rise in the crotch (like lots of ski pants i've tried) or any sag in the seat. Soft liner is good down into the low '20's -- beyond that throw on some thermals and/or long socks and you're golden. At 5'10 the Large is perfect in every way except the length, which is a bit long for me. I have to roll up the back of the cuff an inch when not wearing snow boots. Still, if i could wear these to work, i would -- i practically live in these pants.
