The North Face Arches Pants - Women's

Wore these on an 11-day backpacking trip. They looked great on day 11 - no bagging at the knees or seat. I was very surprised that the black showed as little dirt as it did. I thought the thigh pocket would not work because it wasn't a cargo pocket, but the stretch fabric worked well to hold everything I needed. The zipper made it secure. These are my new favorite hiking/backpacking pants.

Love these pants. They fit well for days. They don't stretch out and look baggy. I was surprised that the black didn't show dirt. It brushed off. My new favorite pants.

Worth the money so far, had them a couple months. AND since REI guarantees their products for a year if they seem to be wearing out too fast I can return them! Nice quality, they are a little big around the waist even with the elastic adjustment but the quality design keeps them from sagging or feeling like they are falling down. Great value!

great fit. adjustable. stylish. I've used these for music festival's and camping. Easy to fit in your bag and put on in a pinch (i.e. if it starts raining) Material is flexible and easy to move around in. These will be my go-to pants for my upcoming trip for the Boundary Waters.

I'm not sure I can find the words to describe how perfect these pants are. I bought them to wear on a 26 mile backpacking adventure through the Chugach Mountains. We experienced a variety of climate and terrain changes over the two days we hiked. It started out as a day hot but as we climbed, the weather got much colder. I was shocked at how windproof and warm these were. They were very easy to roll up when needed and the snaps were much nicer than than the usual buttons. The fabric stayed nice and dry through both snow and water. At one point I had to sit in the snow and slide down a very long, steep hill. When I got up I was totally dry. We crossed three deep rivers and despite rolling my pants quite high, they still got a little wet. Thankfully, my pants dried very quickly. With all the melting snow the trail was pretty muddy in spots so I got pretty dirty. They cleaned up well and look like new. Finally, we trekked through some pretty tough plants and brush. I was just sure I was going to find a rip or a hole when I got home. To my surprise there wasn't as much as a scratch or snag.From now on these pants will be my go-to's for hiking, camping, and yard work. My only complaints a

I cannot say enough about these pants. I purchased a pair in anticipation of a three-day backpacking trip in the White Mountains over Memorial Day. The weather turned sour, so we opted for a day hike up Mt Eisenhower on one of the clearer days of the weekends instead. These pants held up wonderfully. There had been fresh snow the night before, and for an hour uphill snow fell relentlessly; my softshell was nearly soaked by the time we got to the top, but these pants stayed incredibly dry. I was also surprised by how warm and windproof they were. I hadn't expected those features from the reviews, and was worried that I would actually be underprepared for the summit. I was pleased to discover that in the approximately 50 mph winds on the summit, my legs were the only warm part of me. Overall, these pants performed phenomenally, and I will definitely be holding onto them for a long time.

I was just telling my husband that these are my favorite pants. I wash them more often than my other pants so I can wear them more. I bought them specifically to have a quick dry, comf

I'm 5'11" and have a hard time finding pants long enough for me. These fit great, plus they have the added feature of rolling up. Better than zip off pants since you can't lose the bottom half of the legs. Have a nice stretch to the material and seem durable so far.
