Customer Reviews The North Face Apex STH Pants

These are perfect for nice condition ski days. They are very flattering compared to most ski pants and easy to move in. I definitely recommend them. In terms of sizing all my friends and I are between 5'3-5'7 and usually fit size small but in these we all got size Medium. The small is really small around the waist so I recommend sizing up.

Had to return, they swallowed me.

I'm still debating whether to keep these or send them back. On the plus size, they're a modern, slimmer fitting cut as opposed to my old baggy Columbia ski pants. The green color is very pretty and unique. On the down side, they are awkwardly tight in the knees and thighs, which makes me wonder if it'll be uncomfortable to sit or bend at my knees for extended periods on the mountain. I'm 5'6" and 135lbs, with a pear shaped body (smaller waist, larger butt and thighs). I ordered a Medium, regular length and with a pair of thin yoga pants underneath, they leave just a bit of room at the waist, are very snug through the thighs and knees, then flare out at the bottoms (a little excessively in my opinion, but it would be hard to fit ski boots otherwise). The length is perfect when I'm wearing ski boots, but they drag on the ground if I'm only wearing socks.

Warm and comfortable. Product labeled as water resistant and did not have any issues -stayed dry all day - even when sitting in the snow. Ordered a short - slightly longer than preferred.

If you have any butt or hips size up!! Had to go up 2 sizes to my regular Jean size to get the hips in a comfortable way

The pants are great, lightweight they are great for Minnesota weather. The only con is if you are curvy by a size up, they are narrow in the butt and hips.

Stylish, fit to size with base layer underneath.

As a very tall person, I love that this came in long. The fit was a little off in some ways (too small in the thighs but too big in the waist) but overall a better fit than I'd find in another pair.

Perfect for the snow.

I work as a full time ski instructor in MT and purchased these pants to serve as my go-to uniform outer layer. Daily use includes office to the slopes and back.

These snow pants are so flattering and the color is so pretty in person! The fit is great and the waistband is adjustable. I wish these were a little warmer, as my legs were still a little cold when skiing. I loved them for snowshoeing though!

These are great in terms of style, but I've put on weight (am wearing a 14) and after reviews, ordered the XL instead of large. However, they're really long which generally isn't an issue for me because I'm 5'8". I plan to use them for multiple winter sports. If they were just for skiing, they'd be OK but could have fabric drag. But for snow shoeing or hiking, they're way too long. I've never ordered a Short in my life!

Great quality but runs small. Just size up!

Great pants, a little long

Loved the material quality and construction. However the adjustable tabs when pulled tighter leave some small gaping of the waistband.

I only rated these a 4 because I have not worn them in the snow yet, but I am sure they will be great! They will be comfortable and stylish for the slopes. I am a 27 in jeans and ordered a M.. it is large in the waist, but when I have on my long johns under, the adjustments pulled tight, and a sweatshirt tucked in they fit great

I Ski all winter. Will wear these on days that are not frigid cold or wet. Very flattering.

Very nice warm pants. Runs too long. I'm 5.4 and got the short one and they were still too long

Got this for skiing. At 5'4, the "Short" Small was still a bit long for me.

I bought these for an upcoming trip to the Alps. I was pleasantly surprised to see they really were stylish as well as comfortable and warm. My 21-year old daughter even told me that she really liked them and they were something she would wear. The adjustable waist is nice for when you don't want to wear an extra layer underneath. The only thing I wish was different is that I wish the gaiters were a little bit longer and the elastic on the gaiters could be slightly tighter.

Awesome feminine fit in comparison of other snow pants in my closet! Not too thick but perfect warm lining to keep you warm on the mountain!

These pants, and I believe all of north face pants run extremely small. I am 5'2, 107 pounds and ordered the XS short. The shorts are definitely short, maybe a little too short and barely touch the floor. Cannot get these pants past my thighs, way too small. Seem like nice quality pants, but are not your typical insulated snow pant material. These are just a thick waterproof material with fleece inside. I ordered the SNOGA pants that are arriving tomorrow. If those dont work, I will size up in these. Just looking for a nice slim fit snow pant so I dont look like a snow man when i go skiing.

I own 2 other pairs of these pants and they are great. I have a petite frame so my issue with ski pants is that they always look so oversized. I don't have this issue with these pants. I did size up because the fit runs small. There is not A LOT of stretch with these, but you can move comfortably.

I bought this pant for skiing and the material is so nice, very soft and warm, stylish, comfortable. Definitely a perfect pant for the slopes. I am 5'10, 135lbs and usually a size small, I bought a small tall and it fit very well around the waist and long enough length for me, however I felt the pant was a little tight on my thighs. I decided to return the pant and order a size up so I could have room to fit warm layers underneath the pant. Overall very impressed!

These were a replacement for an older version. I love the fit and comfort of the ski pants - they work great on the mountain - thick and zy enough to keep me warm but not bulky. However they seem really really long so I am going to have to hem them.
