Customer Reviews The North Face Paramount Trail Convertible Pants

I bought these pants because I wanted something casual enough to not only wear in and around the house but also work, where we have a casual work clothes policy. I also wanted a pair of pants with side pockets. These pants meet those needs plus have a couple of other features which I really like, such as the built-in belt, leg bottom zippers, and water resistance. They have the additional benefit of converting to shorts, which is very handy when going on vacation in the summer when I prefer to only pack shorts but sometimes miss having a pair of pants to wear at some of the restaurants which frown upon customers wearing shorts. They're probably expensive pants or shorts but reasonably priced for pants which can serve as both.

I'm a camping enthusiast and these pants are perfect for camping. Slightly heavier than other pants I've worn camping but still lightweight and will dry quickly if I get them wet.

Got them for Christmas!! I liked them so much I ordered a pair right away.

Great product for an amazing price

Great product.

These pants stated Full Cut (or something like that) and Actually are. I have muscular legs (calf and thigh) and many other pants felt restrictive because of the narrow leg cut.

Bought four pair to tour the Middle East. Very impressed with comfort! Just right thickness! Plenty of pockets that are easily accessible with zippers! Built in belt saves time in airport security and very handy They look good enough to wear for Dinner as well! I also bought two pair of hiking pants from a well known competitor and the North Face pants were better by a long shot and were less expensive.

I own three pairs from three different seasons all with slight differences. These are hands down my favorite and go to pant. The waist is a bit flexible so it can fit comfortably both before and after a Thanksgiving meal. The pockets are plentiful and big. One year the main front pocket lined up directly behind the larger lower velcro flap pocket so you could not use both unless one had soft flexible items. That would be my only complaint and I think they meant those pockets to hold the legs if you zipped them to shorts, but I find them perfect for my phone.

I picked up these pants for a climbing trip to Nepal. I like the zippered pockets and the ability to convert to shorts. for me the two in one idea was perfect for this trip, since I want to have shorts while in the lower elevations and pants for the trek into base camp. The pants are a heavy wight material and seem very durable, I think they are pretty perfect. I've not shopped North Face in a while but I have to say I'm happy with the fit and the quality of the items I've picked up recently.

I brought this convertible pants for my trip from Japan to Singapore since I need to pack light. I love these pants since I can use them as both long pants and shorts during my trip. Kudos to North Face.

Bought these for my husband after trying another brand that fit poorly. He loved these while hiking and was very comfortable in them. These pants fit well and didn't ride up his behind like the other pair from another brand.

Wore these pants all day this past Saturday. Started the day with a hike through a canyon and some trails. They were incredibly comfortable and moved with me I'll climbing and Hiking. They breathed well and kept me cool. Later that day we went boating and fishing and they continue to rock! Having a nine month old and a six-year-old, all of the large Pockets made carrying accessories for them a breeze. I can't speak highly enough about how much I like these pants!

Great for anytime you may get wet as these pants dry quickly. Great for fishing or hiking.

Have had another in khaki for several years and love the comfort, durability and flexibility to go short.

Love these pants! Rugged, comfortable, great fit. Great for casual wear, golf, etc. My one wish: add two belt loops to the back for those who don't care to use the included fabric belt.

I bought these primarily for hiking and landscape & wildlife photography. I've worn them several times already and find them very comfortable, breathable, and light weight. Despite being light weight they seem to be pants that will hold up well. I wore them hiking up Mt. Washington in NH this past weekend and they performed better then expected. The hike was 4.4 miles with an elevation gain of 4,378 feet. Virtually the entire assent is over rocks of varying sizes. These pants were great....never felt heavy, allowed for all the leg movement needed climbing over rocks, and held up without a hitch. (I shouldn't be surprised as I've always The North Face to make high quality goods) I'd get another pair of these without hesitation.

Terrific product - perfect for hiking. Would buy again.

Very pleased with the fit. Was hesitant prior to purchase as I really like a baggier (but not sagging) fit and in regards to shorts, a longer length. These pants nailed it. Im 6 foot and 200lbs. Nice relaxed fit. Zipped off shorts go pretty much to the bottom of my knee cap. Perfect!

I have had several pairs of these pants before - after they all gave up the ghost it was time for a brand new pair. Price and shipping were excellent - fit perfectly.

I use these pants for hiking trips and also when I go out to do wildlife photography. They work well for both because they are comfortable to wear, rugged for the outdoors and have many pockets to put photography gear, extra lenses, bug spray, etc.

We just got back from a trip to Alaska. I bought these for hiking and exploring. They are lightweight enough that they didn't feel heavy walking on glaciers and hiking, although they are thick enough to keep you warm in a cool wind. They were a little long for me (size large). If you could choose an in seam length, that would be nice. Great outdoors pant for camping too. I like the versatility of the zip off legs to turn into shorts.

Very comfortable pants that resist rain, perfect for travel, and for destinations that are cool in a.m. and turn hot later. Good fit, lots of pockets, wash well.

Casual pants yet stylish

I generally love the north face products and these pants did not disappoint. I'm glad they are slightly heavier material as they feel more durable unlike a lot of other hiking pants that feel ready to rip on the first branch. they are slightly warmer as a trade off but hey unzip the bottoms. also thanks for the red/blue zippers so you always know red goes on the right. The DWR does an excellent job at shedding rain and the wet trailside vegetation eliminating the need for gaiters. Finally I really enjoy the fit at the waist that is fitting enough not to dig in with a fully loaded pack. Also love the fast and deep (easily accessable) map pocket on the right leg. In all these are the perfect all around hiker pants. I will continue to go with The North Face!
