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.
These pants fit really well and are very comfortable. They’re made well and can take a beating from hiking and climbing.
They fit great. A bit expensive but def. Worth it.
