The Paramount Convertible Pant is perfect for packing light for your travels or hiking adventures. It features mid-thigh zip-offs and extended side-leg zips.
Fit Tip: This is a do everything kind of pant. The convertible zips off at just the right length, and when you wear these full length, it is nice to have the side leg zips for ventilation. There are plenty of pockets to stash your goodies, and the fabric can really take a beating. These pants fit a little bit baggy, so wearing long johns underneath is not a problem. I have a 30" waist and 30" inseam. A size small, regular fits perfect.
Best Convertible Pants!
The most durable [con-vert]ible pants I own. The zippers have never snagged on me and they are conveniently colored matched (right and left). I'm not too fond of the built-in belt but I still own 4 pairs!
Versatile, durable, great fitting, and quick drying. Great!
I've owned several versions of the NF men's convertibles through the years, and I have never been disappointed in the quality of the product. In fact, I've been so pleased that I bought two sets this time. The convertibles I bought this time are more versatile than any I have purchased in the past, they have proven to be very durable, and to top it off, the matching leg zips makes it easier than ever to get the legs on when sudden weather changes occur. If I ever wear these out, I'll be looking for The North Face convertibles again.
Great pants, fast shipping to APO
My Med/Long pants in 2 colors came asap to overseas APO. They fit great on me at 5'11" and 185lbs. The grey and green are awesome colors. I've had these pants before in Khaki and grey and wore them out. Thx!!!

The best travel and trekking pants you can get!
Many deep pockets that can very safely and securely hold money, passport, and even a small camera.... Leave the day pack behind. Quick drying and rugged. The convertible feature is a must for use in changing climates and temperatures. The adjustable belt allows you to keep pants secure even after getting wet. Hands down, the best travel pants/shorts you can get.
Good pants
Very durable. Would like to order the green ones when they are available. Although I agree with some of the other comments that the earlier versions seem to be better quality.
Great fit!
It's tough to find good length in a durable pant: The Paramount does both!
Great fit for a skinny log-legged guy
Not many pants around where you can find a 30 waist and 34 length. These fit the bill. Comfortable and plenty of pocket space too.
Excellent Travel Pants
The tough yet lightweight fabric holds up to a variety of environments. Ease of conversion and color coded zippers on the legs are a benefit. The extra gear loops on the waist are very versatile. Quantity of pockets is a plus. Great look.
Very comfy in any weather.
I love these pants. They breath well, wear well, are comfy, and if it get's hot you just zip the legs off.
An Option for the Tall Gals
I'm a 6 ft tall female that wears a size 6 in womens. I bought a pair of NF Paramount in the long. This length has been perfect for me. I had first purchased the regular length and they were just a tad bit short. They are very lightweight and have taken a serious beating on my hikes. Once washed these pants look as good as new. These pants have many pockets and a belt you can tighten up as needed. At first I didn't think the belt would ever be needed, but once you work up a serious sweat the belt is a nice option!
Great pants
I basically wear these pants about 5 days a week. I have 4 pairs that I actively wear now and have had two pairs in the past that I worn out. I am 6'2" tall with long legs and the tall size fits perfectly.
They are not perfect and don't last forever; but they are lightweight, very packable, plenty of pockets, breathable, quick drying, and nice looking. Need I say more?
Comfortable and great looking pants.
Worth the money. I'll be taking them backpacking soon.
Great fit, fast drying, very comfortable.
Bought these to wear under armored motorcycle riding pants. Comfortable for all day wear. Easy to pack and wash.
Very Satisfied
The pants fit well and the pocket space is especially handy. Order and shipping notification was very professional. I received the order in less than a week even though I live across the country.
Nice pants, great price!!
Planning a backpack trip to Europe and need to pack light. These pants will offer versatility and comfort with very little bulk. Altrec had beat everybody by 1o%. Thanks
Great fit, comfortable, awesome
I don't like wearing long legged pants but these are so comfortable I had to purchase more. Pockets are great, they dry quickly. I thought they were a little pricey but quickly realized I would actually pay more for the fit and comfort.
These pants are
I live in south Louisiana where we have mild winters. I wore these pants playing golf the other day. We teed off in the morning when temps were a little chilly and by the 11th hole I had to remove the leggings. Perfect. The extra pockets, the moisture wicking material, the fit and comfort of these pants made paying the full price well worth every penny. Also. You won't find better service or prices from any other outfitter than Altrec. I placed my order and went the free shipping route, and still had my package within 5 days. The prices at Altrec beat ANY I've found to date. As long as Altrec keeps up this outstanding service, I will be a customer for life.
great pair of pants
I have a hard time finding a pair of pants that fit my size properly...The North Face Paramount Convertible pants came through for me..I look forward to ordering several more pair. The quality is superb.
GREAT product!
I have been wearing Paramount [con-vert]ibles for at least 4 years now and currently own about 7 pair, along with 2 pair of another style of North Face pants. Yes, they are all I wear. I used to be a T-shirt & jeans guy. Now I am a T-shirt & North Face pants guy. One of my original pair finally had to be retired because the zipper broke. They aged well & the fabric is very durable. The retired pair had no signs of wear/tears besides the broken zipper. This newest pair is my favorite version. The fabric feels slightly lighter. Here are the reasons I love these pants: EXCELLENT stain resistance, any wrinkles come out just by wearing them, cell phone pocket on side holds phone and writing pens, deep front pockets, and the cargo pockets (one for MP3 player and other for wallet. This alone helped improve my back problems caused by sitting on a wallet all day.) Last but definitely not least, the fabric does not hold on to smells (camp fires or sweat) like cotton does. I usually wait until I have worn them at least 2 times before I wash them, and could easily go longer if I need to. Also, I machine wash and line dry ALL of my synthetic fabrics. Turn a fan on them and they're dry in no time. It will be a sad day for me if The North Face ever stops producing these pants. Make sure you get the appropriate length.
I have purchase 4 pair. Great comfort and fit.
I found out the hard way that they shrink after washing and drying. I lost 1 inch off the length.
Great pants at an excellent value.
I purchased these pants for my husband,who is deployed in Iraq. The are very light weight and they are very soft to the touch. They also work great in extreme heat keeping you cool and the size is true to fit. The service I received from Altrec was excellent.
Great Pants!
I looked at several convertible pants before purchasing North Face. The material is higher quality and much more comfortable.
Great pants.
Have a pair of TNF pants that are 12 years old almost like these, i'm sure these will be as good, also great service from Altrec.
First order from Altrec, not the last!
Great pair of pants, going to order a pair of gray, the service was great also.
These pants rock!
Dudes & Dudette's!
From Argentina to South Korea Ive worn these pants thru some tough stuff. You can climb,Trek, yoga- anything. They wash/dry very easy and compress into your pack with ease.
Great Product!
The fabric is heavier that most cheaper convertible pants. Good quality and worth the extra $$.
Great pants
This is the 2nd pair of Paramount Convertible pants I've bought for my boyfriend and he loves them. Super fast drying and super comfortable. Nice big pockets, great material, perfect fit, very versatile and functional.
Great Product!
I looked at many brands of convertible pants, before settling on the North Face. The fabric and construction are sturdier than the competition.
I highly recommend these pants!
I own three pair of these convertible pants and they are great for those chilly mornings but warm afternoons. I wear them while playing golf and they are so much better than the cheaper convertible pants. They also provide protection against the wind and light rain.
its a good pants when go hiking
I like this because its very durable and baggy, which is comfortable when I go hiking. It dries quickly and breathable , however, I hope there are more color selections!
Perfect pants!
Great pants for just any outdoor activity. They are perfect for getting into nature, traveling or just hitting the town. They look great and not too sporty if you would want to wear them to school, workplace etc. Nice big pockets, great material, perfect fit! I guess I won't use them as shorts, but this feature is great in case it's getting really hot. Overall great pants for a very reasonable price.
Great Pants
This is my 3rd pair of Paramount Convertible pants (and I've bought two pairs for my teenage son. They are very comfortable and durable. They wash very well. I thought I trashed my first pair with a gas/oil mixture that splattered out of a weed wacker but they washed up perfectly. I bought my first pair for camping and I think they are my favorite piece of "gear".
Great Travel Pants
Just returned froma trip to Guatemala and wore these about every day. They make great travel pants...in and out of security checkpoints with no hassle...big on features...and most importantly, comfortable!
great pants
excellent buy, practical but still cool looking. love the belt. all purpose pants.
Great for hiking
I love to hike and at times spend several days on the trail and these pants are my choice. They have all the right features for long hikes. A comfortable web belt, no chafing, quick drying, and the zip off legs make them perfect. I will buy more of these in the future.
Best ever
I bought 2 pair and I've worn them every day since Christmas. I'm 6'3" and 240lbs. The XL long is plenty long, almost too long. Great material seems more durable than my magellan, columbia, or aigle zip offs. Numerous pockets are also handy. I will by bying more!!
The only pants I'll buy now..
They're great. Made of a super-durable material, they ventilate well (I'll never go back to jeans again), the pocket space is more than you can hope for, the option to unzip the pant legs is a feature that every pant should have. Super comfortable. In the winter you'll need thermals underneath because of the airflow.
Outstanding!
Best pants for going between outdoors and downtown. Love these pants.
Worth the money
I will usually only buy Marmot or Mountain Hardwear for trekking but these did an amazing job! Recently went on a 12 mile hike in a cloud forest (very humid) and stayed dry! They kept me warm when it was cold and cool when it was hot! Not to mention I was walking in thorn bushed for miles upon miles and the thorns did not even catch the fabric! Excellent buy!
Very well constructed and comfortable
Great pants. Super comfortable, durable, and practical. They also look great, and paired with a nice shirt or sweater, they can be worn business casual or out on the town.
Very durable and with deep pockets.
I have several pairs in different colors, and wore one pair almost exclusively for two weeks walking up to Mt. Everest Base Camp, and wore the same pair in the Amazon. Very versatile! The deep pockets add extra security, but they could be improved by adding a pocket with a zipper. Plenty of room in the slash pockets for all kinds of things combined, and you won't even notice it if you carry a small camera there. I've had several different kinds of convertible pants, and these are the best.
I love these pants
These convertible pants are the best! The fabric is very soft and feels good next to your skin, and the fit is perfect. Also, very abrasion resistant.I also have the Mountain Hardwear Canyon Pants which are nice but not zip-offs.
Great
These convertible pants are the best! The fabric is very soft and feels good next to your skin, and the fit is perfect
Great Pants
These pants are perfect. Comfortable, sturdy and all North Face. Thick enough to be warm on a chili night but thin enough to be cool in the heat of the day. Then just zip off the lower part when you are too warm.
*****
Great for outdoors, travel and leisure. These pants are durable, good looking with plenty of pockets.
A No-Brainer
I've been buying North Face Men's Paramount Convertible Pants for years for my teenage son. The only pant he'll wear. Can't beat the design and durability. Pants wash and wear like a dream.
Best Travel Pants I've worn
The North Face Paramount Convertible Pants are the best
travel pants I've worn! They are also very light and comfortable as ordered the ones with the short rise.
When not at the office, they are my #1 casual pants!
great
I love the Paramount convertible pants, everything was great!
Very practical. Nice looking. Wear well.
Great! I compared several brands. These are more durable, more resistant to snags and look nicer than the others. Less flimsy. Ample pockets and well-place zippered security pocket. Took 3 pair on 3 week trip to Africa but needed only 2. Dried quickly overnight. Still looked good at the end of the trip.
Pricey but great
Pros: Very abrasion resistant. Dry quickly. Plenty of pockets. Pants are convertible.
Cons: The price. Try to get them on sale.
Two pairs is all I need for all my backpacking needs.
Most Excellent Pants!
An EXCELLENT pair of pants. I recommend them for every day use. They are tough and comfortable. The pockets are in all the right spots for easy access. I have tried other pants, and there are none to compare.
only item you need for wearing on a spring summer or fall outing
These pants are simply the best. Cut for comfortable fast moving. Plenty of pockets for gear and the zip off leg is perfect for the afternoons when it heats up. If you searched the world for the best pant/short combo you would come back with these. I bought two pair. My oldest son stole the first pair and I had to order some more for me. I am not going to wear these around my youngest son!
great pants
First of all these pants are more flattering than your usual cargo pants. I wear a women's size 8-10 pants and the men's small fit great. They cut the wind and are warmer than jeans. They have been soaked in the rain at 40 degrees and still kept me warm. Mud brushes off easily if you let it dry. Another plus feature is the R/L label for the zip offs. My only complaint is the pockets on the front of the thigh don't allow for much stuff.
Great all-around pants
I originally bought these for hiking, but have found myself wanting to wear them for casual use as well. I thought the deep front pockets were odd at first, but have found them very useful when hiking, especially when stepping up on higher ground/rocks/logs/etc. Whatever was in my pocket used to fall out, but these pockets keep that from happening, so that's a much-appreciated feature. Zipping back on the legs is quick & easy (at least if the pants are off :). They're lightweight and the convertibility is perfect for 3 season-use (in my case the hot Georgia summers, cool spring mornings, and wonderful fall weather). I'll be buying other colors soon!
Best pants for travel & flying
If you are looking for extra comfort when traveling then pick up a pair of the Northface Paramount pants. They are breathable, easy to clean and really comfortable. Also, lost of pockets to store things!
Great versatility with an abundance of pockets!
They thought of everything with these pants, zippered legs to make on and off over shoes or boots easy, legs that zip off above the knees to convert to shorts in warm weather, a wealth of pockets and a tough durable fabric, That says it all.
great pants!!!
Just got these and they feel great. The pockets are huge so you can carry a lot of things. I am 6'3" but pretty thin and I got the medium tall. They fit great, but when converted to shorts the shorts could be a little longer. Also, the material seems pretty sturdy so they'll hold up great.
good even in winter
the pants even held up nicely in the winter and they look great.
This are the most confortable pair of pants ever
This pants are great, light, extremely versatile and well design. North Face is a company that always makes a difference and this product is certainly not an exception
Comfortable on the field and in the lab.
Bought this pair because I needed something to wear to bike or hike with and go straight to work in. The zipper pocket on the right side stores my handphone nicely and comfortably, without hindering leg movement. Lightweight and quick dry makes this a wonderful pair to wear here in the tropics. Heat retention good, legs never felt cold in the cold room (4 degree celcius), nor felt too warm walking in the tropical heat (32 degrees celcius plus). Neat in-built pants hook too, unlike my other hiking pants.
the best convertible pants, ever !!
The North Face zip-offs are made to last for my style of extreme hiking, scuff resistant on rocks, deep pockets and look great after washing with no ironing, only minus is the belt that comes with it which I remove from all of mine.
Wear these all the time!
These pants are great for wearing around town on the trail or just comfortable lounging around the house watching TV. I highly recommend these pants. I plan on buying more!
2nd Pair - My favorites
I've two pairs now. The 1st pair was my mainstay in a 7 day Alaska float trip. Greatest pants I have. I recommend to anyone wanting a durable zip-off that fits into waders well!
Best All-Around Pant There Is
These are by far my favorite pants. Besides being versatile (pants & shorts), they dry extremely fast. I can get away with wearing them in the office, as well. Let's just say I wore my first pair out after a couple of years, and bought an identicle pair immediately.
Awesome!
The convertible feature is the only way to go. I wear them more as shorts on day trips and as pants once night sets in. The pockets are coveniently placed and easily accessible. Additionally, the pants are extremely durable which surprised me. I am sold on these pants and can't wait until I get my next pair!
Just what I expected.
Very comfortable and cool. Looking forward to having them in Botswana.
Excellent Hiking Pants = hiked in Presidentials in New Hampshire
Great pants, so glad I purchased them. Hiked for 13 days in Presidentials in NH on the AT - 103 miles - 6 days clear/sunny, 7 days consecutive rain, cold, wind, pants did outstanding, dried out fast in the shelters, repelled water well, zipped off/on quick, right over my boots, outstanding, can't wait to wear them on my next trip! Only 280 miles left to complete the AT...get yourself a pair!!!
another great TNF product.
There are two companies that i usually have no complaints about their products: Merrell and TNF. With these pants i wasn't dissapointed as well. I put them on and wore for a week straight. They are lightweight, breathe well and dry very fast if got wet in the rain. Had no chance yet to wore them as shorts, but see no reason why they could be bad.
Excellent money spend.
Absolutely Superb!
Great Pants. Best I've ever had. Highly recommended!
Buy these pants
The reviews here about the Paramount convertible pants are all true. A versatile and quality pant. Shorter inseam will require $10-$15 for professional tailoring. Well worth it though. One does not normally see the attention to detail at this price point. I purchased another pair. Very pleased with this product.
These are the best Travel Pants
I love these pants
Get what you pay for
great pants, very comfortable and keep with The North Face tradition of great outdoor clothing.
Practical and comfortable
I've traveled Peru, in the Andes and Amazon, and Burma in these pants. They have the pockets that you need for travelling, deep and with a good sized zippered coin pocket. The material is strong, comfortable and keeps you dry. Open the leg zips a little for extra ventilation in countries where shorts aren't appropriate and it's hot, or you just want to keep covered because of mosquitos. They're incredibly comfortable and easily adjustable with their own light-weight belt that comes included. Great that they come in different lengths as they're not easily hemmed due to zips for easy on/off of the leg sleeves.
great pants
These pants are very durable and have met all my expectations. They are comfortable to hike in and the deep pockets give me peace of mind for my valuables. They are very easibly convertible to shorts with little effort. All in all, these pants will last me a very long time.
Well made, functional and comfortable
These are great for all day Fall fishing trips in Canada when the temps fluctuate with the wind conditions and sun exposure.
