Giving four stars because I haven't actually used them in the rain yet, but I have a lot of North Face gear so I'm certain they will be as waterproof as they say. I'm not giving five stars because like many other reviewers have said, I wish they had belt loops because they do seem as though they will sag down as worn. For $189 I would really like to see a belt system like you put in the $70 Paramount pants (which I have several pair of...my Go To pants). That belt system is great and you can cinch the pants tight. So anyway, like the look and feel and I'm sure they perform as advertised, but I want a belt.

Ordered the size small regular, I normally wear size small, 30"/30". The pants fit baggy to allow for pants worn underneath. The legs are cut wide and fit over the throat of my hiking shoes well. The hem has a button closure which allows them to be cinched down another inch if necessary.The side zips go 90% of the way up, just underneath the waistband. They are dual zippered so ventilation options are possible. I tested the waterproofness of the zips and water runs off the zippers without penetrating. They seem to work well, even if they are protected with a flap.The only con of this pair of pants is that they do not stuff into the single back pocket. The back pocket has a elastic loop which allows you to loop up the rolled up pants for storage.Overall I think ... MoreOrdered the size small regular, I normally wear size small, 30"/30".

I really liked these pants! I bought them for Cotopaxi. They fit great, they have a fly in the front and the material felt natural, etc.Here’s the problem, though, they are NOT “full zip”! The zipper only goes up to the waistband. Unfortunately, I had to return them because I needed a full zip version. The pair that I replaced them with are not nearly as nice.

Bought these specifically for an Antartica expedition. First time out in the zodiac came back with a wet posterior. Not good when it’s below zero and you are exposed for 1-1/2 hours. Spent rest of the trip with plastic bags stuck in my shorts. Will be returning them as soon as I get home.
Futurelight is a fantastic technology and these pants come really close to being keepers. First, the good. Futurelight is comfortable, breathable and quiet when walking. It is easy to forget you have rain pants on when wearing the Dryzzles, not the case with my Marmot PreCips, which are not as comfortable or breathable and make a crinkling noise when walking. I also really appreciate that TNF offers them in short lengths. Unfortunately, there is also not-so-good. Unlike the PreCips, there are no side pockets. And, unlike the PreCips, these pants don't fully unzip all the way from top to bottom though they come close enough to a full zip that getting them on and off without removing your shoes seems completely feasible, particularly in combination with the front ... MoreFuturelight is a fantastic technology and these pants come really close to being keepers.

So far, the positives of these pants easily outweigh the negatives. Unfortunately, there is one more negative and it is a deal killer: lifting my knees as though I am taking a big step up pulls the back of the pants down. This is not true of any of my other pants including the PreCips. It is a shame. For me, it ruins an otherwise excellent pair of pants.
The pants have a high quality feel about them, fitted well and are well made. However the best water protection i could get from them is, as the name suggests, maybe in drizzle. Any water exposure beyond that and I got wet - or even saturated - after a decent downpour. Water simply passes straight through the fabric with anything other than just the slightest exposure. I purchased them in August for a polar hiking expedition and this was their first outing. Unfortunately, it will be their last.
As mentioned in the first review, the elastic waist is not sufficient to keep the back of the pants from coming down. I had a tailor add belt loops (extra $30). Now they are perfect! Nice light material and zippers easy to adjust for venting. The double snaps at the bottom are great for cinching. I got these pants at just over a hundred CDN, I would definitely not pay the regular price. I like outdoor clothing/footwear and try lots of different brands but keep generally prefer TNF.
Awesome pants. Looks great and feels good, not too thin and not too thick. A very versatile pants for quick access to legs with the length sized zipper and the water wick technology is a plus. The only 2 down side is they should've added side pockets instead of just one back one, would've been the perfect hike pants. The other down side but maybe not too bad is they also should've added the belt just like the half zip ones.
I purchased these for winter hiking. Not because I need them while hiking, rather so I can put them on quickly during periods of rest when my body starts to cool down. The full leg zippers make putting them on easy as I do not have to remove my boots or other clothing. The fit is perfect as they do not fit too tight and don't look baggy like other over pants.
There’s one zippered pocket which of course is better than none, but I usually wear pants with pockets under them anyway, and unzip the side vent things basically where pockets normally would be. They snap at the bottom and you can zip down from the top, which is super nice for ventilation. So far they’ve kept my legs dry in long walks in heavy rain. Pants like this are always too long. If they were just a little shorter they’d look better. The snaps keep them from dragging on the ground or anything. I’m 5’9.5” with a normal shoe on, 160 lbs, lift weights and hike daily but a little extra weight around the middle. The small works for me but it is a little snug when buttoned with a shirt tucked in. The zips run all the way up from the bottom to the top, stopping shy ... MoreThere’s one zippered pocket which of course is better than none, but I usually wear pants with pockets under them anyway, and unzip the side vent things basically where pockets normally would be.

The zips run all the way up from the bottom to the top, stopping shy of where your belt would be, if that makes sense. They don’t unzip 100% along the outside leg. Only almost. These are what I was looking for, I’m pleased. I’ll wear them with no other pants underneath on warmer rainy days, long Johns and more on others. They are pretty tough heavier material, not ultra light weight, but I didn’t really want something that would shred on a walk through the woods anyway.
