The North Face Venture Side Zip Pant - Men's

 Brand : The North Face
Item : TNF0569
The North Face Men's Venture Side Zip Pant keeps you dry and comfortable during travel, trekking, and almost any mountain adventure. Lightweight, waterproof, and breathable, the Venture Side Zip pant stuffs easily into its own left pocket—leave it in your pack for unexpected cold fronts and inclement weather, or wear it as a comfortable travel piece. Full-length two-way side zippers provide plenty of venting when the going gets warm. The Venture features HyVent DT, a highly breathable, waterproof fabric with a raised microdot inner surface that acts to lift the shell fabric away from your skin. This provides a comfortable, soft, easy-sliding feel while maximizing moisture transport away from your skin. The result: you stay drier and warmer. It takes on wet climates with ease, and includes an elastic waist, two hand pockets, and easy cuff closure to keep out the elements from below. *Not Available for Shipment to Canada.

The North Face Venture Side Zip Pant - Men's



Super duper light- great price
Best, lightest pants I've ever used. They are super packable and virtually weightless, yet keep me completely dry when I go snowboarding/mountaineering. Great value!!!


Good quality
These pants were not what I was looking for. They are really well made and lightweight but had hook-and-loop closures running the length of the zippers. Too cumbersome for me.


Love it.
These pants are great, they repel all h20,have side zippers which makes them easy to put on without taking off boots and pack down to a small size that is super convenient for backpacking. the only knock against them is that stuffing them into the pocket is moderately challenging and moderately frustrating. The pros for these pants far outway the cons- buy em.


Lightweight does not mean durable.
I have several TNF products and until now have felt that the extra cost was justified. I was looking to go with a lighter set of raingear when I happened upon TNF's Venture, side zip pants. Living in the Pacific NW (the wet side of WA State) I've become a bit of a raingear snob. This said I offer the following: These truely are "lightweight" and lack the durability that TNF is known for. The pants tore on the first snag I encountered. I would recommend these pants as foul weather running gear but not for much heavier use than that. The fit in the thigh and groin area was tight for me. I have a medium build (6'1" and 200lbs) and found the lg size pants lacked room for movement. I think that TNF is on track with the idea of lightweight rainpants with full side zips but this item falls short. In a desert or tropical environment these pants may work but here in the PNW, I found them lacking.
