The sleek The North Face Men's Paramount Traverse Pants are loaded with hiking oriented features, design and qualities. Designed with cleaner lines and made from a durable midweight abrasive resistant nylon. A DWR finish on this outdoor clothing garment adds extra moisture shedding properties but when the sun shines these shorts are quick drying and you are protected with a UPF 30 rating. The elastic waist on these The North Face pants is harness friendly. The gusseted crotch adds increased mobility as do articulated knees.
