I wish I could give them a better review

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two pairs of these shorts, one for myself, and one for my husband. My pair is fantastic, and I would give it a five star review, however my husbands pair has something wrong with them, and the zipper completely comes off. We've owned them for less than a month, and he's only worn them one time, and started noticing that the zipper had an issue. Now I'll be forced to pay the shipping to send them in for repair, even though they were defective from the time of purchase. I'm used to much more consistent and high quality worksmanship from North Face products.

My new favorite hiking shorts!

5 years ago

Received in the mail after ordering only a week ago! (I live in Hawaii, so some orders take FOREVER, if they ever arrive at all). Wore them around the house on day one to make sure they fit appropriately and were suitable for hiking, then ventured out on a muddy waterfall hike today. I love these shorts! Fit great, water resistant, great freedom of movement and very stylish with the charcoal gray color. I may have to buy another pair!

Have 3 pairs and want more

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started with one pair of these and have gotten 2 more and going to purchase more. Love the subtle zippered pocket below the standard pockets that fits a passport perfectly when traveling sitting or standing. They're nice and light, and have been pushed into running shorts when I was traveling and it was all I had. Don't understand why the colors have been scaled back since these are easily the best shorts TNF has made in years.

Great Lightweight Shorts

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts fit well, made of great material for the summer, can be used for swimming, and for lounging around. Only issue I have of these is that they do not have back pockets like most shorts of this type of style. They usually would come with at least one back pocket with a zipper. Other than that, I still love these shorts and will get more.

Super comfortable hiking/casual shorts

6 years ago

I'm 6'3" 185 pounds with a lean/athletic build (33" waist) and these shorts in 33" regular fit perfect. They are extremely comfortable, the material is stretchy but feels very durable. It's a little strange for me not having belt loops, but the internal string works just fine as peace of mind to keep your shorts in place.

Slim Fit Just Doesn't Cut It For Me in TNF Products

6 years ago

TNF Slim fit just doesn't work for muscular guys with big butts and thighs. The waist on these fit just fine; but I couldn't put my hands in the pockets! Nice and stretchy material, I'm sure these are great shorts if they fit you right. I've had the same problem with their slim fit pants.

GREAT SHORTS!!!

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE THESE SHORTS! These are the most comfortable shorts I've ever had. They have nice pockets, no belt loops (has draw string), and the material feels comfortable. I wear them for traveling, outdoor activities, and just around the house. I like them so much l've bought two more.

Make a smaller size!

4 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Borrowed a pair from my brother size 30 and they were just a little big. Finally found a size 28 at some janky online retailer and they are great. Too bad they are not available anywhere in that size. Pleas make more inclusive sizes. I am not that small.

No, I do not recommend this product

I would definitely recommend this product!

4 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a General Contractor in Michigan, and these shorts are great to wear in our summer months (high humidity) while I'm out in the field working on bids. Great breathable fabric so I don't have that "sticky" feeling at the end of my workday.

Great All-Around Shorts

4 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say I wear these shorts a lot, they are incredibly comfortable. This is my second pair. I love that they have a side of the leg zipper pocket where I can carry my phone. The pockets are deep and the shorts move well with my body.
