FAQs
What is DRYVENT™ technology?
DRYVENT™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that uses a two-layer coating system to make outerwear waterproof and breathable. It keeps the outer elements out while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside.
Are these pants suitable for skiing?
While they offer waterproof and breathable protection with articulated knees for movement, they are primarily designed as a versatile pant for various activities and style. For demanding ski conditions, dedicated ski pants with additional insulation and features might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. The UK size '10' typically corresponds to standard sizing, but the tailored fit means checking waist and hip measurements is recommended.
Can I wear these in warm weather?
The pants are designed for protection against elements and breathability. While they can be worn in warmer weather, they may be warmer than typical fashion pants due to their technical construction.
What is the inseam length?
The product description mentions a 'shorter inseam', indicating it is tailored to be shorter than standard lengths, likely to complement the overall fitted design.
How is the fit described?
The fit is described as 'tailored to your curve' with a 'cinched waist', suggesting a form-fitting style that accentuates the waist and hips.
What is the difference between this and other The North Face pants?
This pant is a collaboration with SKIMS, featuring their signature flattering fit and design elements, combined with The North Face's technical outdoor performance features like DRYVENT™.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and excessive detergent. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may be necessary over time.
Pants feel restrictive.
Verify the correct size has been selected. The articulated knees are designed for mobility, but the tailored fit is intentional. Ensure the waist is properly adjusted.
Seams are leaking.
While seam-taped, extreme wear or damage to the tape could occur. Inspect seams for any visible damage. If significant damage is present, contact customer support.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary.
