Full details
The TNF X SKIMS Seam Tape Pant is designed for the adult female seeking a blend of high-fashion appeal and outdoor performance. Its key benefit is providing a flattering, tailored fit combined with the durable, waterproof protection of The North Face's DRYVENT™ technology. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which may be more fashion-forward than purely utilitarian for extreme conditions. This collaboration merges SKIMS' signature flattering silhouette with The North Face's technical expertise, featuring a cinched waist, shorter inseam, and articulated knees for ease of movement, all constructed from 100% nylon with waterproof and breathable DRYVENT™ fabric.

FAQs
What is DRYVENT™ technology?
DRYVENT™ is a technology used by The North Face that is engineered to be waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It ensures that outer garments are seam-sealed to prevent water penetration while allowing body heat and moisture to escape.
How does the SKIMS fit differ from standard The North Face pants?
The SKIMS collaboration focuses on a more tailored and flattering silhouette, featuring elements like a cinched waist and a shorter inseam, compared to the typically more relaxed or performance-oriented fit of standard The North Face outdoor pants.
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold weather?
These pants offer waterproof and breathable protection, making them suitable for various conditions. However, for extreme cold, they are best used as part of a layering system with appropriate thermal base layers and potentially an insulated outer layer, depending on the specific temperature and activity.
Can I adjust the waist fit?
Yes, the pants feature a cinched waist designed to provide a secure and flattering fit.
What is the recommended use for these pants?
These pants are ideal for activities like resort skiing, snowboarding, or general outdoor wear in wet or cool conditions where both style and performance are desired. They are also well-suited for après-ski or casual outings.
What material are the pants made of?
The main body of the pants is made from 100% nylon, with pocket lining made from 100% polyester.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading or is seeping through fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatment.
Pants feel less breathable.
Check for clogs in the fabric pores. Wash the pants following the care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Ensure any internal layers worn are also breathable.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
