Not up to usual TNF standards.

Ranked #734 - Men's Ski Pants
June 4, 2010
I've used TNF gear for well over 20 years and been more than happy with all of their products until this pair of pants. The pant material and weight are just right. The full leg side zippers and pockets are great. They were durable and waterproof. What I felt were faults are the following: 1.) The suspenders only attach in the front. This design flaw enabled my pack's hipbelt to push the rear waistband of the pants down allowing snow and cold air underneath. 2.) The velcro waist cincher did not fully tighten around my waist(Lg pants / I'm a 36" waist). These two afformentioned problems caused the pants to bellow out at the waist when I wasn't wearing a pack. I paid full price and was disappointed. I've returned them. They may be worth the sale price.
