| Great pants for short people! 03-14-08 |

|
| I found these pants and fell in love! I always have a hard time finding pants because I am only 5'2 and have an inseam of about 29". I was a little worried that the short might be a little too short, but I'm glad I got them. The length is perfect! The only down side is that they grey color was not available in size 6, which might have have fit a little better. The size 4 restricts my movement a little bit, but overall, they're still great. |

| Finally -- flattering hiking pants for tall girls! 04-15-08 |

|
| I'm 5'9" and usually a size 6, but I got size 8 in these and they're just right -- roomy enough to allow freedom of movement and boyfriend thinks they're cute. Zip off shorts are a good length, about halfway to knee. They didn't seem to shrink too much in the dryer after being handed over to laundry service. Where have these pants been my whole life?? Definitely worth the splurge. I've got 2 pairs. This site's easy returns policy made it easy to order different sizes to try. |

| For LONG legs! 10-24-08 |
|

| These pants can accommodate women with very long legs. I normally wear a minimum 36" inseam in jeans, but the Long here is only 33.5/34". However, there is enough hem that they can easily be let down, re-hemmed, and look great. So, for all you long tall Sallys out there, there is hope! |

| So So Hiking Pants 05-28-08 |
nicoleangl2062837

|
| For starters, I Love North Face, unfortunately I have to admit these pants in particular are not the best although they do get the job done for a reasonable price. Having the legs remove is a great convience but I found that the short length is a little short for me... I would prefer for them to zip off closer to the knee. Also I ended up having to wear these in the rain and they are NOT waterproof. They may keep off some light moisture but are not match for real rain. I would also like to point out that these run short so if you normally wear a regular inseam buy the long version. Also I felt they run a bit small so order a size up for more comfortable hiking. |

| Proportionate for petites 11-24-08 |

| Pretty well proportioned for the petite figure. The only convertible pants I've found that fit properly because they were actually designed to fit the shorter person. Not too baggy in the legs or too tapered at the ankle. I'm about 5'3" and chose the short length. It's a bit too long but with shoes on, it looks fine--at least the flare at the bottom begins at the knee where it should. When zipped off, the shorts are a great length both in looks and for hiking and outdoor activities--I rock-climbed in mine. The fabric is fast-drying and of substantial weight. These pants make me happy. |

| these are the least flattering North Face pants I own. They're also the only style I own in only one color. Not a bomb, but not my perfect pant, either. |

| So these pants made me a north face fan. I have been wanting convertible pants and most have long shorts or capris whereas I prefer shorter shorts that are still functional. I am 5'7" 120 lbs. I compared these to TNF horizon but the shorts zipped off at the knee which I didn't like. They were lighter weight material than the porter though. Although nothing is perfect these came as close as I could find and were super cheap. I had to order a 6 (up one size) reg length in the brazil nut green. The color is nuetral, the length hits right at the floor (I have a 32" inseam) and the shorts are mid thigh and sit on the hip not the waist. I took these to moab and I was sold. It was 70s during the day and 30s-40s at night. The shorts were long enough I could use a climbing harness without them sliding under the leg strap and slightly stretchy so I had freedom of movement. At night I put on the legs and was super warm and comfortable. Plus they do roll to capri length and they have a cord in the waist so no belt is needed which was nicer than I expected. Only con: they are a little thicker material than I would like but they wick moisture and dry really fast when wet (from perspiration) and I will probably be less likely to tear them. Although there wasn't much wind it did keep out the little we had at night. Also, with the pants zipped on I could feel the zipper portion but the ease of not changing from shorts to pants made that hardly noticeable to me and less to pack. The pros outweighed the cons and I will definitely buy these again! |

| Great for backpacking 10-22-08 |

| Overall this is a really nice pant. I'm 5'7" about 130# and got an 8 long. The long is a tad too long but the regular was definitely too short. Normally I wear a size 6 in most brands and have several North Face capris in a 6 but I had to go with the 8 for this pant. They are certainly more stylish than many overly baggy hiking pants out there. For just a hiking pant I would prefer something a tad more stylish, stretchy, and slim-fitting through the legs. But as a backpacking pant they are perfect. The little bit of extra room through the legs allows me to layer fleece long johns underneath. I wore them 5 days straight and have no complaints. Loved that they can be rolled up and secured with a button to make cropped pants. These 3-in-1 pants are all you really need to bring. |

| I've had mine for a year now and still love them. Wore them camping & backpacking in Western Canada last year and a recent trek to warm and cool places in South America and they looked good day after day of wear. I agree with other reviews - dirt and stains didn't seem to stick, even after a few days. So love to take them when traveling plus my bag is lighter because now I don't pack many pants/shorts. I didn't have any expectations for being water resistant, but hiked in heavy mist to light rain for a couple hours before I felt damp and then they dried fast. I'm 5'2.5" tall and normally wear a 4 Petite or a regular 2 in pants/jeans and fairly proportionate between legs and torso. Based on other reviews, I ordered a size up and got a 6 short and they are perfect. Could be a little smaller thru waist, but the drawstring makes them adjustable. Just barely long enough, but good because they don't drag the ground with sandals or hiking boots. Really like how the waist fits because they fall below my waist, but aren't low-rise. Also lay flat and aren't puffy around the waist or legs like some other convertible pants so I think they are very flattering. Look just as good as shorts as pants too. I don't have much butt, but I don't think I would have wanted them any smaller in that area plus I had room to fit some polartec leggings underneath for a glacier walk. Despite 40mph wind off the glacier & 30F weather, the heavy fabric over my leggings really helped block the wind and I was comfortably warm hiking for a few hours. I have another pair of convertible pants that are a different brand and the zippers on the Paramount Porters work much easier and I like the labels so I can easily tell the right from left when zipping the legs back on. I've dried mine several times without shrinking, but always on low in my home dryer. My only improvement would be to make them a little stretchier as I'm pretty bendy! Shopping for my 2nd pair in a different color... |

| Okay, I know I'm not the easiest to find a good fit for at 5'3" and 98 lbs., but when I heard these ran small, thought they would be a good bet. I can usually get a size 2 North Face pant to work for me, but these were huge in the waist. Very boyish cut...I prefer more style. Material is rather heavy...good bet for cooler weather. |

| I already had a couple pair of these and just got them in another color. I disagree with the other review, for me I had to go a size smaller than the other two pair I had (and no, I didn't lose weight). The pants are durable, wear well and are comfortable. As utility pants go style wise, they are nicer than a lot of others than look like small mens pants. I recommend them for hiking and general travel function. |

| I first bought 1 pair then expanded my stable to 4 pairs. They fit me right at Reg (I'm 5'5", 140#). They are best at traveling, backpacking since they wear fairly well, dry quickly, and convert to shorts/long pants/capris quickly. My only complaint is that after a while the material does pill and appears worn. But, overall, I'm very happy with these pants and would buy them or the same again |

| I bought a pair of these 2 years ago, and they successfully got me through several Eastern European countries along with much of the Middle East. They fit more like jeans and have a great adjustable waist tie. Fabulous. I had to buy 2 new pairs because I just wore the first ones out :) |

| I was very excited to find a manufacturer of LONG hiking pants. I must give North Face credit for that. However, they are still a bit short, have an uncomfortably hight waist, are movement restricting, zippers rub on skin, and sizing is off, so go about 2 sizes up from what you normally wear. A sad ending to a happy-beginning pants story. |

| Unfortunately the "short" version were just a tad too long causing lots of mud to accumulate during the hike. Also, I bought them a size larger and yet they tend to run small in the thigh area. However, they are light weight and did well in the rain. |

| I've finally found my ideal hiking pants in the Paramount Porters, I've had a pair for just over a year now and put them through everything and they still look pretty new. Material is excellent and stains and dirt just don't seem to stick. They also look great and I've now got three pairs. I had not problem with size changing after washing but then I have never put them in the dryer. |

lisadlind2191059

| I was super excited to find some hiking pants that were long enough (ordered longs) and roomy enough to bend and stretch in ..... until I washed and dried them! Now they're tight where the zippers are, tight around the hips and they shrunk about an inch in length. Nope, I didn't wash in hot water or dry them excessively. If you want your paramount porter pants to stay true to size, don't dry them! |

| bad fit for me 05-01-08 |
|
uvashannon

|
| I'm a petite, muscular 5'5", 115, long torso. These fit me horribly: big in the waist, tight around the things. I've never had pants be too tight around my thighs before! Length was fine, which probably means they run on the short side, as I often have to hem my pants. And they are by no means low-rise. Other than the fit, I love that they're so all-in-one - shorts are a nice length, conversion to capris is a simple, effective button. Fabric is kind of heavy - not for SoCal deserts, better for fall/springs deserts or high altitude summers. It does look sturdy, though. |

| These are great. I bought them for work because they are wash and wear. No ironing needed and the don't shrink in the dryer. I absolutely love them. Will be great for summer shorts also. I have had several people notice them and ask because they look so comfortable. |
