The North Face  Tekware Pants - Women's

I'd give them 4.5 stars if it were an option because they're really comfortable, fit true to size, and my points off are for preference not performance. 1. The fabric is slightly heavier than I expected with the skin side almost like grid fleece which wasn't included anywhere in the item details. Honestly, an unexpected, pleasant surprise though. Cozy and great for shoulder weather outdoors! 2. They are truly 28" inseam but I'm 5'7" so these hit above my ankles. Would totally have bought 30" inseam if available. 3. Drawstring waist is a loop but has no toggle to secure the fit, so it's regular adjustment or tie a knot.

I bought these after spotting them in the Men's section, marked down, and I immediately tried them on and purchased the correct size online. The waffle fleece interior keeps these toasty warm and the outer layer stops the wind and wicks away water very quickly. I have yet to wear them in a downpour, but always reach for them in the foggy San Francisco. They are tough enough to wear out before arctic temperatures, but are still thin enough to function as a midweight layer if needed.

The pants were actually much too thin in the material
