I really wanted to love these pants as I trust North Face and especially Goretex for waterproofing, warmth and quality. I ordered two sizes and BOTH had snap waists that did NOT snap closed. It must have been flawed hardware (I don't see any other reviews complaining about this) for the waist as it was a single snap on both and consistently did not snap no matter how hard I pressed. Waist snaps must be firm enough to hold, but easy on the fingertips. The fit was fine and seemed generous but the materials crinkled a lot and it sounded like I was wearing a plastic bag when I moved. Very thin feeling like others have said. I returned them both.
