The North Face Vertex Stretch Trail Pant - Women's - 2008 BCS

I volunteer doing trail maintenance and restoration work in various National Parks and it helps to have the stretch of the fabric to move around in. Along with the ability to have unrestricted movements, they're loose enough to wear thermals underneath for colder locales. The are true to size according to the manufacturers guidelines. It helps to click on the size chart for each manufacturer. I'm short (5') and unfortunately they don't have petite sizes, but hemming pant legs is a common practice for me. Got them on sale and wish they would've had more colors.

I love these pants. I have worn them in the cold and in the rain hiking mountains throughout Colorado. I wore the Northface Paramount Porter pants for three weeks of trekking in Nepal and though they were great. These are even better. Much more comfortable and with the added benefit of a DWR. They are my "go to" hiking pant now.

My first pair was from another vendor and were a little different. Nevertheless, they are by far my favorite pants. I even got away with wearing them at a professional conference with a nine blazer- way more comfortable than regular slacks!

Too big and stretchy. Could pull them over my head! Strange fabric.

great fit, flattering.

Look and feel great

I wore this pants climbing Mt. Fuji and they were so comfortable, I decided to wear them back home. My legs did get wet but only after climbing in the pouring rain for over an hour. I am ordering another pair just for everyday wear.
