Paramount Short

The North Face Women's Paramount Short might be a short short, but it's meant for longer adventures. Embedded with FlashDry fibers, the stretchy fabric wicks moisture and dries quickly when you're on hot trails. The adjustable waist lies flat to accommodate bulky backpacks.

Fun Style

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice shorts, a different and better alternative to running shorts. Comfortable enough for wearing daily.

Nice Short

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the fabric, front pockets, and back zipper pocket. I like the roominess and stretch. I like the low-profile belt and general look of a casual short that isn't an explicitly looking athletic short. But maybe the 3.5" inseam on the "regular" was a tad too short while I know the 5.5" on the "long" would not be my preference; I think 4-4.5" would be good.

Not the same as old paramount shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cut has changed since last year which make me sad. These use to be my favorite shorts. Now they're cut different and the khaki color was see through

Perfect short but SIZE DOWN

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 5'4 125 lbs and size 2 is about right. A side 0 may even me if they stretch out but I'm happy with these. Originally purchased the 4 based on size chart hip measurement but they were way too big. The size 2 actually fits with leggings underneath and room to spare.

Would love to buy more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought almost all the colors they have in this short! Perfect length, pockets, and the belt detail make this a stylish short to wear on a daily basis! Love these! Keep making more colors!

Great shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these in 10 Long Vintage White. Love the 5.5" inseam on my 5' 5" body. Deep pockets, fairly wrinkle free, SPF of 50 - great! I would buy it in every color but apparently the LONG sizes sell fast or they don't make enough - this North Face site has no other 10 L available in these shorts in any color but the vintage white.
