Description

A pant that evolves with your outdoor addiction.

When you’re halfway up the pitch and you need to cool off, just zip the pant legs off of The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible Pant. The lower leg sections’ll easily slide over your climbing shoes so you can drop them to your belay buddy below or store them in one of the seven pockets.
  • The Paramount Peak’s gusseted crotch and partially elastic waist move with you as you reach each hold
  • DWR finish on top of quick-drying fabric means you will be dry from the soggy air inside or out
  • Strong TEX40 thread makes sure you don’t bust a seam while in your harness
  • Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 30 lets you stay exposed all day without the burn

Bought these pants for general use. I plan on using the pants for general adventure. so far, it has only seen river water but it handled everything with flying colors. DWR works well and the fabric dries very quickly. Length (30 in) is true to size as is waist size. the belt seems a little long but not obnoxiously so. the shorts seem a little longer than 10 in but i rarely intend to use them in that capacity. the zippered pocket behind the right front pocket was a nice touch. very please with these pants, they lived up to the hype.

All occasions!

Fantastic pants! I have used these pants in many different scenarios, and they have preformed perfectly. These pants are durable, thick, breath well, dry quickly, and shed a considerable amount of water. Yet, the main reason I purchased these pants was because of my height. I am a very short guy, so it is hard to find a 30" inseam in hiking pants. North Face is one of the few brands which offer this feature. I plan on buying another pair of these pants!

Why are these pants marked 35% off but price doesn't reflect correct price?

The sale only applies to a select few color and sizes. In this case the sale is for the black XXL and 3XL. If you scroll down in the Select Options tab, you will see them at the bottom.

@Garp, if the pants are 35% off shouldn't the price be roughly $48.73? (That's from the regular price) So what gives?

The 35% is off of the 3XL price which is reg. $84.95, not $74.95.

The zipper pocket broke after the second day. The belt pops constantly and they aren't even tight on me. The convertible pant is great for backpacking weight and the fabric is durable but besides the obvious functionality I'm not impressed at all. The fabric is too heavy for warm days and uncomfortable when hot and climbing; can't wear these Spring to Fall. This is the first and last NF product I will ever buy. The shorts look make me look like a Swiss tourist so now I wear gym shorts on trips and bring long johns for underneath.

This is the first pair of convertible pants I have ever purchased. I'm not that tall...but the 30"(short) small fit like a glove. I have done a considerable amount of hiking in them preparing for a Camino de Santiago trip. They have been really comfortable so far. I got caught in a downpour and the DWR held up well...when the sun finally came out the few areas that did soak through dried fast. :)

These pants are great. I use them for backpacking. I only take 1 pair of pants/shorts, and these are it. They zip off into shorts if needed. I used the sizing chart and they fit good. They come with a light weight belt to.

I have 9 pairs of these pants. Newer ones for better outings, older pairs for the 'big hikes', multiday wilderness. The new style with the longer crotch and scratchy fabric are a real disappointment. For the first time in over a decade I'm looking around for another brand. Bring back the old style!

First time buyer of the convertible pant intentionally for plane trip from midwest blizzard to tropical Keys. Have been frustrate with traditional pants in the past. Very comfortable for the plane, zip the legs prior to landing and I was ready to go! They became my go-to shorts all week. Water and soil reistant. They looked great even at the end of the week, perfect sitting by the pool due to lightweight. Zip the legs back on the trip back and ready for the temperature change. Glad I purchased two pair!!

Most people celebrate Valentine's Day with Champaigne & Chocolates. I celebrated Valentine's day with a pile of cut up clothes!!! "I won't go out with a man with torn clothes---you look like your homeless with your ratty Safari clothes. R-A-T-T-Y?!!! Unlike a certain 'significant other' who wares $300.00 designer RIPPED clothes, as I am typing this, I am waring my dune coloured 'Kenya Convertables' with a small tear on the left front pocket. Is it a designer 'TEAR'? Is it a 'stragetically enhanced' fashion statement? No, it was me tumbling 100' down an embankment when some A******* ran me off the road!!!

Unlike my brother who battles 'the bulge' and the TV remote, I enjoy my weekends 'FLYING'---flying over the handle bars of my ten speed down a 100' embankment and nothing to show for it but a torn pocket---that's my kind of pants!!! I swear by North Face---balllistic tough, mesh pockets, double stiched seems---they'll bury me in these pants...especially if I keep taking my life in my hands cycling!!!

I am 6'1 240 lbs, and fairly large in the butt, waist, and legs. I normally wear about a 38-40, but cannot fit a straight leg or anything like that. In Jeans I normally wear a 38 relaxed waist and thigh.

What size do you recommend I get in these, or do these not fit loose?

I am 6'1" and 250 lbs . I wear a XXL in this that worked well for me as we hiked all over China last summer - careful not too over-stress the zippers though..

These pants are amazing. I needed a pair of pants that would withstand anything. I didn't realize how water resistant they are. I dropped a glass of water all over them. Afterwards, I just brushed the water right off and I was completely dry. These pants are well worth the money.

Have had several pair over many years time. Love them. Wear them a majority of the time when wearing casual pants. Great pants, comfortable, pockets handy especially when traveling. Have worn out a few pair. Only complaint is zippers sometimes fail. Had repaired locally, will send back to Backcountry next time for replacement.

I have used these a little bit this summer. They seem solid, I like them so far. They do the job I want out of them. On the trips I used them, I had no problems.

If they tear or whatever, I bought them on bc.com, with their lifetime warranty I can get my money back. If you get stuff here (the main site), you are covered.

I took out the belt that came with the pants and I use a 1.5 inch belt that fits well.

What size would you recommend for a 31"...

I'd go for the medium. Also, there is a sizing chart under the drop down selection menu on the left.

This is my third pair of Paramounts. The others have been great, but this new version is not fit for purpose.

The material is very abrasive against the skin.

The crotch point is very low which restricts hip movement - you can't take long strides (unless you hoist the waist up above your navel).

The material has no stretch. Again this restricts movement. This is especially noticeable when climbing steep slopes or steps. The problem is compounded by the abrasive material that doesn't slide easily over the skin. It can be quite unpleasant.

$100 wasted.

Fantastic pants! Great for hiking and traveling in both warm & cold weather.
I've been using them in all my most recent trips to several and different environments: tropical forest, moor, and cloud forest, among others in my home country: Colombia. Love the big pockets and the materials: good quality, durable, breathable, convertible. I got two of them (Beige & Grey). I highly recommend them.
