Customer Reviews The North Face Paramount 2.0 Convertible Pants

I needed a pair of lightweight convertible pants to wear for all day hiking in Death Valley. These seemed to fit the bill and I liked the fact that the shorts were a good length. After several hours shooting sunrise, it was nice to be able to "change" into shorts without having to drive over an hour back to the hotel. Unfortunately, the zipper along the edge of the shorts rubbed against my skin, and the fabric of the pants rubbed against my bottom and legs. The shorts were not tight, but while hiking and bending to shoot photographs in the heat, the fabric and zippers literally abraded my skin!! After wearing them for 12 hours, my skin was so raw that it looked like I had welts and even the water from a shower stung! And now, a week later, I still have rough scaly patches from where the convertible zippers hit. I returned these for a full refund!
