The North Face Men's Venture Side Zip Pant

The North Face Men's Venture Side Zip Pant

If you need compressible waterproof pants for hiking, trekking, cycling or roaming around faraway villages you can't go wrong with The North Face Venture Side Zip Pant. Unlike previous Venture incarnations that were water-resistant, this full-length side zip pant is fully waterproof and features an innovative tactile microdot inner surface that keeps the HyVent DT barrier off your skin, making it perfectly comfortable for wearing over shorts. This texture moves easily over other layers and the fabric enhances internal vapor transfer on a molecular level, resulting in full weather protection with uncommon breathability. When the wind subsides and the sun comes out, stuff the entire garment into the left pocket for compact storage.

Initial Review
Bought these pants for winter biking in cold/wet conditions over another layer. They fit great over tights. Although I have not used them in very cold or wet conditions so far, I tried them on a moderate day with no under layer. They were warmer than expected alone. For pants with no typical liner they slid across the skin very well. The worst thing I could say about them is only that the waist adjustment relies on velcro and doesn't allow large changes without folding. I look forward to using them more and they may make it easier to ride later into the winter.

Everything You Need
Very lightweight and does the trick. Tested them out in a brutal rainstorm and not a drop of water gets in. Will see how they hold up over time but so far so good!

Great Rain Pants
They fit well and are perfect to carry in my backpack for day hikes. The full zipper makes them easy to get on and off without removing my boots.
