I have a 32 waist and tried both the regular and short versions of these and these are extremely odd fitting pants. Really long distance from the waist to the crotch and really long legs. The 32 short version of these pants is probably for a 32x34 (maybe 36) and the regulator is probably 32 x 38 (maybe 40).
I was originally excited about these because they are one of the only North Face that come in a men's tall. Unfortunately, they are built for teenage boys without muscular thighs. They should be categorized as joggers. They are cut like skinny jeans.
Great product overall. Fitment was perfect and quality is always the best. They have been very durable thus far. The only issue i have is items fall out of my pocket to easy. When im sitting in the car or on a plane ill notice my phones or small items will what to slip out of my pocket. Besides that, great product
I LOVE these pants. Too bad I between sizes :( I'm 5'9" 142lbs. The 28 is too small and the 30 is way too big. The length was perfect (short). I wish they made a 29. The thighs were too tight on the 28's and the thighs were way too baggy on the 30's. I'm just hoping this review will help someone my size.
Bought a pair of these many years ago - great quality pants and very comfortable. Wanted another pair. Liked the multiple pockets in the old ones but the new ones have smaller pockets - Notably, they are no longer big enough to hold a phone. So somewhat disappointing and may not buy another pair.
I am thoroughly impressed with these pants. The fit is perfect. I struggle to find tall sizes and the tall option in these pants is perfect. They are comfortable, feel very durable, and look great. The pockets are deep, the pants are lightweight, and the fit is spot on.
The reviews that say the "Regular" length is very long are absolutely correct. Also, the left cargo pocket extends below the knee so unless you like something slapping against your shin it is unsuitable for carrying a wallet or cell phone. Returned for refund.
Pants are overall very nice, pockets are deep and well felt. They are good for various weather types. Only thing is the sizing. They fit very baggy on waist and length for my 32. But the 30 was too tight on waist and perfect on length. Had to go with the 32.
I got these pants for casual wear and hiking. The material is great and they're amazing pants. Only downside is the sizing is weird. Waste fits perfect but the pants fit very very relax and baggy from the seat to legs. Still great sizing is just odd
Great look and fit. Hiking the Camino. Quick dry was a life saver. Don't know what others complaining about. Phone probs. Really??? Easy fix. Length not a problem, just tucked hem under. All good. Much better than Vuori or Lululemon .
