The North Face Paramount Ascent Short - 2008 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
Be the first to upload your photo of the Paramount Ascent Short. >
The North Face Paramount Ascent Short is a techy set of everyday shorts. The elastic, drawstring waist is slack-tastic, and front patch zip pockets give it a tech look and, incidentally, hold stuff. Water-resistant and quick-drying, the Paramount shorts will stay dry and comfortable in all kinds of crazy summer weather. A gusseted crotch gives you great freedom of movement and makes the shorts suitable for climbing, as well as just being a bum.
Bottom Line: Relaxed comfort, serious technical look.

I ordered the "long" style and they came to about mid-thigh. Not very flattering, but probably good if you don't care what you look like while hiking.

These shorts are PERFECT for summer hikes and hanging out. The pockets are the perfect size and stuff doesn't fall out of them. They are a little long, but I'm pretty short. They seem to run true to size.
Do these shorts fit true to size or do I need to order one size
Do these shorts fit true to size or do I need to order one size up for a comfortable fit?

I would stick to my size, if anything, they run big.

I love the North Face quality, therefore I've purchased multiple products. The waist runs a bit small: I'm normally a 2-4, but I wear 6 in North Face. Also, for those of you blessed w/ curves, these shorts have the room in the backside. I didn't receive that blessing, but the bagginess makes them very comfortable. I'm 5'7", and the fall a little above mid-thigh. Overall, I love theses shorts and would highly recommend them to anyone who loves the outdoors.
Great shorts for running or biking!

These shorts are awesome and really comfortable. The versatile pockets w. zippers and velcro make bringing a key or money along with on your run or bike ride easy. They also seem waterproof or dry extra fast! Great colors, too!
Change me.
