The North Face Apex Big Wall Softshell Pant - Men's
Great Pant
By Steve Downer
Ranked #368 - Men's Softshell Pants
May 19, 2010
Bought these pants recently to use for early Spring/late Fall hiking. They are exactly as described. I took them up Mt. Washington on a day with winds 40-70mph and they held off the wind extremely well. We were hiking in snow 99% of the way as well, and I stayed completely dry. The performance fit proves to be a nice, tight fit and still gave plenty of room to move around while still feeling comfortable. I'm 5'10" 165lbs and I got the 30 regular. The waist is a LITTLE tight, but is very doable. The length is perfect. As other reviews state, these are not completely waterproof, but they seem to come very close. They also breathe very well.
