The North Face  Freedom Insulated Snow Pants - Women's Short Sizes

Wow! I'm impressed. I bought these to replace my Sally pants, and it's worth the investment! The inner thigh zippers are great for "spring" snowboarding temps (20-30s F), the pockets are roomy, the material holds up well with all sorts of snow. I usually wear coldgear long layers and padded shorts under my snow gear. I'm 5'5, 30" waits and 36" hips, I wear Levi's Jean size 28, weighing in at about 145lbs with athletic build. I used the "Fit Finder" on the website to determine which size to get based on my sizing info and preference of loose fitting clothes. In lieu of the results, I bought a size large with some hesitation but I've gone out a few times and LOVE the fit. Perfect length and size to go over my layers and snowboarding boots without drag or snag. Easy to move in, comfortable, and durable! Withstands NE winds very well, so far very comfortable temp with open vents in 20*F weather.

I got these pants because I needed a good storm pant. Warm and waterproof were the two major things I was looking for. Specifically in the Pacific North West, we get the wet heavy snow, and there's nothing worse than having your pants soak thru on a cold, wet day! I went up in size because I like to have extra room in my ski pants for layers. The pants have an adjustable waist and belt loops. I was able to adjust my waist to the perfect size because of this, but had more room for adding layers and free movement by going up in size. They are perfect! The mustard color is fun and I'm easy to spot on the mountain!

Finally, I found a pair of snow pants that doesn’t drag the ground when I’m snowshoeing! I’m 5’ 4” and my legs are the short part, not the rise. Finding any pants that still come up to my waist yet aren’t too long is a challenge. These fit great, and have plenty of Velcro tabs for waist adjustments. The other feature I needed was a thigh pocket large enough for a phone and some tissues. These pants have it all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these snow pants for skiing and other snow sports this year and they are amazing! You really can't go wrong with The North Face snow pants. For reference, I am 5'3" 125 lbs and I ordered a size small, regular length. They fit really well with base layers on, the length is perfect, and the waist fits really nice. They have almost a mid-rise waistline, which is so awesome for sports. They also have an elastic waistline with adjustable straps as well, so you can make the waist fit even tighter if necessary. They are very durable and have kept me very warm on the handful of times I have used them already. Overall, these are the perfect snow pants!

These pants fit perfectly! I was nervous ordering online, as our ski trip is less than a week away- but these arrived quickly, and met my expectations. I'm 5'8" and 122 lbs., I ordered a size S Long. They fit well around the waist, and the velcro belt is adjustable to make them perfectly snug. There is room for a base and mid layer if I need them, but the insulation feels pretty warm. I'm super happy with them. I'm so glad that I ordered directly from North Face, because the other online stores did not show Long length as an option. The extra length on these is wonderful. I'm used to my pants coming up super high on my ski boots.

I'm amazed how fast I received my pants: ordered Sunday night and I received it Wednesday morning during busy holiday season. It is great because I need it this weekend to ski with my kids. The product is good quality, stylish design, great construction, very bright and warm red color. The insulation is light but warm enough. The lining is in the red color too to make it like a design pants. The outside material is soft but strong enough for snow days. The nice design of this pants is there is a curve from hips to waist which is great for someone like me have large hips but thin waist. Overall, it is a very good buy.

The entire seam from front to back on the inside has ripped open after only a few wears of light riding. The seams on the inside of the leg vents have also started ripping/opening. The insulation is exposed and coming out. I tried to sew it back together but the pants are poor quality

Wore these daily on a weeklong ski trip. Held up well in all kinds of weather. Layered a set of long johns under them. These were a little loose I had to keep re-tabbing the velcro sides - but the L was definitely too small so I stuck with the XL. I think it would help if I bought a belt. I also wore these on an offroad trip in subzero temperatures one night. Just washed them for the first time and they seem to be holding up well. You can definitely live in these in the snow and for winter sports.

My first TNF garment was a fabulous shell with a fleece liner that my husband gave me for a gift when I turned 40. I had refused to pay that much for a jacket prior to that. That jacket has been a lifesaver to me over the past ten years. Between ice cold soccer games, on the slopes, football games, cold days on the trail... I have loved that jackets and it is still in amazing shape. I am adding these pants to my TNF collection and look forward to many days spent together on the slopes. Love the functionality, breathability and the POCKETS! Thank you for making a great garment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutly love these snow pants. They have pockets just like jeans and air vents on inner thighs. I'm 110 5"5 xsmall fit perfectly.
