Customer Reviews The North Face Freedom Pants

they broke when I first fell

Sorry but baggies are out.. Not for athletic fit..

The product is just what was needed. Has the style I wanted - along with the durability and flexibility I needed for playtime as well as more serious endeavors. Would recommend highly - for a product I know is of outstanding quality, great value for the money, and is made to last.

I bought these ski pants excited because I had a few other products from North Face including fleeces, insulated pants, and gloves but was highly disappointed by these ski pants. I wore them 5 times downhill skiing in average conditions and the pants have developed small rips between .25 and 1.25 inches throughout the bottom third of both leg compartments completely through the material. I have been skiing for 20+ years, including skiing with the same boots and skis as in this experience and never had a similar issue with ski pants. I returned them to the store which in turn sent them to the warranty center only for the company to state it is not covered by a warranty. The customer service represnentive was rude, unprofessional, and condescending. She offered 50% discount off a new pair of the same ski pants but I declined as these have been worn 5 times and I will not be spending any money on North Face products in the future.

I expected more for what I paid. The freedom pants are just snow pants that's all with North Face's name attached. I think Diamond pants may be better than these darn things! When I first saw the pants out the box I inspected the pants carefully. I compared the bottom heel cuff to the rest pant and saw a color difference. The color difference was unnoticeable except when you look directly at the pants like reading a book. I called NF and was told the color should be uniform throughout the pant, so i sent them back in exchange for another pair. When the delivery was made I opened the box and inspected the pants again. Same problem. To me the pants look like there was a mistake made during the manufacturing process that caused a color difference. Additionally I believe these pants may yellow when left in the sun to long or used after a while. There is nothing spectacular about these pants.
