The North Face

Class V Pathfinder Belted Short - Women's

Function and fashion combined.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! They are the best all around adventure shorts you could ask for. They fit perfectly, and OMG, they have pockets! Finally someone designed shorts for women that not only look fly, but also offer storage room. They are light weight and perfect for a stroll around town, as well as an intense bouldering session. 100 % recommend.

Great short, don't like the permanent belt feature

Loved the material -- lightweight, non-transparent, and a little stretchy so you feel like you could do just about anything in these shorts. I really wish they worked for me, but I tried a size XS and S and wanted a size in between so had to return them. I think the built-in belt feature looks cute but isn't comfortable. When it's cinched tight, it has zero give which feels very constricting. When I loosened it to allow breathing room, the slack stuck out in the back waist. I wish the belt was in a stretchy material which would be more flexible, or else just in the front waist and keep the back as only elastic.

Comfy, lightweight, quick drying

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

M

These are comfortable and true to size. They dry quickly and are light enough to wear running, hiking, playing field sports, or anything else. They dry quickly and aren't heavy when wet.

Need deeper pockets

Dry nicely. I wish the front pockets were deeper or one had a zipper.

Run small

These run small, I ordered an xs as I always do even from the north face and could not really get these on. Looked like they would have been great.

I would buy t

Great shorts. Color is fantastic! Perfect fit. Will be great to take on camp trip.

I would buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid shorts. They are comfy, well lined and durable

Transparent Fabric

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can see right through the fabric. Plan to return.

I would buy it in every color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these lightweight shorts. I appreciate the belt as they don't ride down while I am bending, squatting and simply being active on and near the water.

Overall happy but wish I sized up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love how thin these are -- they seem to be quick drying and the ripstop design is perfect for adventures. I wish all pants came with this built in belt! I ordered my regular size and wish I had gone up a size as I'd prefer if they were looser on my thighs. They are also pretty high waisted, which would be good if I didn't carry weight in my lower belly. Overall I'm pretty happy with these, but I'd like to see if 1 size larger would fix some of my concerns.
