The North Face Monte Cargo Pant - Men's
Slick Pants, Weird Lining
By Stephen Ford
Ranked #162 - Men's Ski Pants
March 14, 2008
I just got into skiing and realized very quickly that wearing rain pants would not cut it. I've worn these pants out on 6 or 7 ski expeditions and a couple snow shoe outings. Overall I'm very satisfied
I picked these guys up and love them. They're very good in keeping out wind and melted snow or rain. I have always worn a base layer with them even though they do have a liner which offers some insulation.
I've managed to get a small cut around on the bottom of one of the pants..don't know how that happened, and I'm not too excited about the liner which is a sky aqua blue. Maybe things are different in the wide world of snow sports, but to me, it just seems a bit like a chick color. Not really a big deal and certainly doesn't take away from these pants which have performed very well for me as I've learned the rigors of skiing.
