The North Face Paramount Cargo Short - Men's

Item #TNF2979 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Love these shorts!

By Ranked #121 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Shorts May 3, 2009

I have always been partial to TNF shorts, and these are no exception. I guess that there have been some design changes (based upon other reviews), so this review is based upon the ones with the gray label (which I purchased from BC.com in 4/09). The material is fairly lightweight, yet seems sturdy. The hand pockets are roomy, as are the cargo pockets. The back pockets are kinda strange, in that you access them from the side, but they are large, unobtrusive, and have a velcro closure. The gusseted crotch does indeed allow good range of motion (so these shorts are good for hiking/climbing) but the shorts are comfortable enough for everyday use.
