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.
Fit Tip: Fit is true to size. Waist is elastic which allows for variability in size. I wear 33x34 pants and the large fit me perfectly.
Great for the rain and snow
I love these pants. The full length side zippers make it easy to take the pants on/off without removing boots. These pants are very durable, Ive worn them in heavy rain and the snow and they keep me completely dry. I wore them over jeans in the rain, and over fleece pants in the snow. These pants are awesome. They are made really well with quality materials. They are well worth the money.
Great Feel!
Nice light pair of pants, extremely rain resistant, better than I thought!
Not bad
Good value, comfortable, light weight, the full side zips are a great convenience. The only negative I have to say about these pants is that they are missing a waist cord and therefore they keep sliding down.

Blue Northern stopper
Lightweight, great value,zips work great. Normally have to use bulky layers of clothing when a northern hits the gulf coast in Corpus Christi. I work in a warehouse and constantly going in and out a building. This time all i needed was my Venture Pants and a pair of jeans under them. I never got sweaty nor were hard to move in. At the end of the day the side zippers came very handy in taking them off.
Super pants!
These are some of the lightest rainpants I've ever owned. Easily packable in a day pack or even in a large pocket. They fold inside-out and zip up through the side pocket to make a compact package. I never thought it would be possible, but they actually pack to about 7" x 4" size (and about an inch thick)!
fantastic
excellent value. comfortable pant that hasn't let me down from skiing on slushy days to heavy downpours. Full side zips allow you to get them off without removing your boots, also allow for some air flow when it's warm and raining.
Great packable, breathable rain pants
Breathable, stays waterproof in pouring rain, big plus points for metal-tooth zippers that won't break off teeth like the plastic zippers used by the competition. Packs down small but a little tough to stuff into the side pocket (this could be a little bigger). Perform great in Florida where heavy rain and high humidity are big issues.
Great fit, very comfortable
It's been a long time since I had a pair of rain pants that fit me this well. No riding up and very comfortable. I only wish they were a little quieter when hiking. When you're in the middle of nowhere, it would be nice not to hear the crackle and whooshing, but then again, they are new so once I have worn them a few more times, maybe they will quiet down.
ZIP PANT
THE PANTS ARE VERY CONFORTABLE AND ALSO VERY LIGHT . GREAT VALUE !
Great Pant!
I climbed Mt. Sajama in Bolivia using these pants and they worked great. They blocked all the wind the mountain could throw at me and kept my legs nice and warm. I'm going to buy another pair right now.
outstanding !
a must have for the outback enthusiast ! a necessary piece of equipment for my hikes up to Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington, which has some of the most unpredictable weather in the world. period.
would prefer them to be lighter weight
I use them as rain gear in a warm climate.
great rain pant
i walk to and from work daily. living in maine the weather can change i love just having these in my pack to use on a rainy day or just a windy winter morning to keep the cold from chilling you to the bone.
