THE NORTH FACE Men's Seymore Pant - Waterproof All-Mountain Ski Pant

In this review the Men's Seymore Pant is evaluated as a dependable all-mountain snowsport pant for riders and skiers who need straightforward weather protection without extra bulk. The bottom line: these pants combine a waterproof, breathable DryVent 2L shell and a Non-PFC DWR finish to keep snow and wind out while allowing moisture to escape, making them an easy pick for daylong laps where reliability matters more than technical bells and whistles.

Key Features

• Waterproof protection: The DryVent 2L shell and DWR finish keep water and light snow from penetrating so the wearer stays dry on wet days.
• Breathability: The two-layer construction lets internal moisture vent away during active skiing or boarding to reduce clamminess during long outings.
• Fit and movement: The standard fit gives a tailored but comfortable profile that eases through the hip and thigh for mobility without feeling baggy.
• Snow defense: Built-in gaiters with gripper elastic and reinforced hem/kick patches block snow entry and add long-term durability at the cuffs.
• Secure storage: A hook-and-loop cargo pocket and secure-zip hand pockets keep essentials protected while moving on the hill.
• Sustainable materials: Constructed with a high proportion of recycled or sustainable materials and a non-PFC DWR for reduced environmental impact.

Who It's For

The Seymore Pant is best for recreational skiers and snowboarders who want a reliable, no-fuss pant for all-mountain use: resort days, occasional backcountry approaches, and mixed weather conditions. Riders who value waterproofing, breathability, and a clean, standard fit will appreciate its balance of protection and mobility.

Those seeking ultralight race-oriented shells, insulated pants for extremely cold conditions, or feature-heavy expedition-specific garments should look elsewhere; the Seymore focuses on core performance rather than specialized insulation, extreme-weather layering systems, or a large suite of technical adjustments.

Pros & Cons

Pros
