Product Information

Full details

The North Face Men's Exploration Pants are designed for adult males seeking versatile, comfortable, and durable outdoor apparel. Their key benefit lies in the combination of stretch nylon fabric, moisture-wicking FlashDry technology, and a water-repellent finish, making them suitable for diverse climates and activities. A potential caveat is that while they offer protection from light showers, they are not fully waterproof for heavy downpours. Key features include lightweight construction, exceptional stretch, and practical pocketing.

FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

No, these pants feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which provides protection against light rain and showers. They are not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

How do I care for my Exploration Pants?

Machine wash cold with like colors using powder detergent. Avoid liquid detergent and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat. Close zippers before washing.

What is FlashDry™ technology?

FlashDry™ is a fabric technology that accelerates the evaporation of moisture, helping to keep you dry and comfortable during physical activity by wicking sweat away from the skin.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

These pants are lightweight and designed primarily for moderate weather conditions. For colder temperatures, layering underneath is recommended.

What type of closure do they have?

They feature a center front snap and fly closure, with additional waistband designs including diagonal cross-grain belt loops and a back belt tunnel.

How many pockets do the pants have?

The pants have a total of four pockets: two open mesh-lined hand pockets and two zipped mesh-lined leg pockets.

What material are the pants made of?

The primary material is 94% Nylon and 6% Elastane, featuring a Non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent (Non-PFC DWR) Finish and FlashDry technology.

Troubleshooting

Pants feel damp after activity.

Ensure FlashDry fabric is functioning correctly by washing with appropriate detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking. Allow to air dry or tumble dry on low.

Water repellency is reduced.

The DWR finish can diminish over time. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel following product instructions. Ensure the pants are clean before reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Ensure the zipper is clear of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper.

Fit is too tight or too loose.

Utilize the snap closure and belt loops for adjustment. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider trying a different size or referring to The North Face sizing chart.
