THE NORTH FACE Women's Aphrodite 2.0 Capri - Moisture Wicking Comfort

Our review of the THE NORTH FACE Women's Aphrodite 2.0 Capri finds these capri pants best for active women who want a lightweight, durable pant for hiking, travel and warm-weather outdoor use. The single biggest reason to buy is the blend of performance fabrics and practical details: recycled nylon with FlashDry wicks moisture, a DWR finish sheds light rain, and a rib knit waistband with drawcord keeps the fit comfortable during movement. Overall these capris balance breathability and protection while remaining trim without feeling restrictive.

Key Features

• Four-way stretch herringbone: Provides freedom of movement on trails and during everyday activity without losing shape.
• FlashDry moisture-wicking: Pulls sweat away from the skin so the fabric dries quickly during high-output use.
• Durable Water-Repellent finish: Sheds light moisture and keeps you comfortable in damp conditions while staying breathable.
• Rib knit waistband with drawcord: Offers a secure, adjustable fit that stays comfortable for hiking and travel days.
• Functional pockets: Two front hand pockets plus a concealed zip pocket provide safe storage for keys or cards on the move.
• UPF 40+ protection: Built-in sun protection for extended outdoor time in sunny conditions.

Who It's For

The Aphrodite 2.0 Capri is ideal for women who want a versatile active pant for hiking, biking, camping and travel; the lightweight recycled nylon and quick-dry FlashDry make it especially good for warm-weather adventures. It also works well for anyone who prefers a tailored but not tight fit with some taper from mid-thigh down and a 22' inseam length.

Those who need heavy waterproofing, insulated warmth, or a completely loose lounge fit should look elsewhere - these capris are water-repellent rather than fully waterproof and are designed for breathability and mobility rather than winter protection.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, trimmed fit that still allows room through the hip and thigh for movement.
• Fabric feels tough yet breathable and dries quickly, which customers consistently praise.
• Practical design with front hand pockets and a concealed zip pocket for secure storage.
• Sun protection and a DWR finish extend usability in sunny and light wet conditions.

Cons

• Not fully waterproof; the DWR handles light moisture but is not a substitute for rain gear.
• Inseam length is fixed at 22' R and may be short for taller users seeking full-length pants.
