Description of The North Face S.T.H. Pant - Women's:
Four-way stretch in The North Face Women's S.T.H. Pants gives you plenty of flexibility as you schralp that super-steep line, and these ski pants' low rise matches your contemporary style. The water-resistant, breathable Apex ClimateBlock fabric keeps your legs comfy and dry as you shred inbounds, and a fleece backing feels soft on warm, no-long-john ski days. Stretch mesh panels in the gaiters of the S.T.H. Pants help cool your legs as you tear down mogul fields.
Bottom Line: The North Face S.T.H. Pants keep your style points high and your derrière dry.
At 1st I got these in medium/long. They were a bit big in the waist, although have athletic thighs & wear a 3-5 in jeans- long length-34". SO- I sent them back for a small/long. These fit great. AND< I can still put a liner pant underneath- as long as they are form fitting. These pants have stretch, & are fleecy inside. I wore them in -30 degree weather walking around RED LODGE, Montana, w/ liner pants underneath- WARM & COZY!!! PLUS They come in LONG Length- YEAH!!!
I tried these on at an REI last year but the S was a tad large on me. Saw the XS on this site (for less) and promptly ordered them, in the short length. They were so much too small that I thought I should try the S again (I'm a size 6, maybe the ones I tried were mislabeled?), in the regular length (I've got a 30-inch inseam). Perfect fit.
Features: Nice lower rise, with the option to snug the pants up at the back waist. Good pocket placement (for small flat items), including one below the knee on the outside right leg, and a pass clip inside the right hip pocket. Extra velcro tab behind the snaps (so exertion doesn't pop them open). Great finish, cozy inside without being an "insulated" pant.
They're replacing my tried and true wool stretch ski pants, which have seen better days. I was looking for low rise fitted wool pants. These seem like they'll go that one better--less likely to stretch out and wrinkle with a week's hard skiing.
Hoping to wear these pants getting around the village on those freezing wintery days/nights, I was impressed with the stylish looks of TNF STH pant. The inside feels nice and cosy too. The length was great as I often find pants too short for me.
Being 5'7'' and 60kg I found the large way too large in the waist and thighs, so don't take the sizing chart as gospel.
