The Exploration Convertible Tapered Pant from The North Face is designed to adapt to changing conditions on the trail. Whether you’re hiking, scrambling over rocks or setting up camp, these pants switch easily from full-length to shorts so you can stay comfortable as temperatures rise.
Built with a blend of 94% nylon and 6% elastane, they deliver a balance of durability and stretch that moves with you during high-output activities. The regular fit and tapered leg offer a natural feel without excess fabric, and the PFC-free DWR finish sheds light rain and morning dew while avoiding persistent fluorinated chemicals.
FlashDRY-XD is a moisture-management technology that wicks sweat away from your skin and accelerates evaporation, helping you stay dry when you work up a sweat. Meanwhile, the durable water-repellent treatment makes water bead and roll off the surface of the fabric, giving you reliable resistance to splashes and light showers without harming the environment.

The North Face says about the Exploration Convertible Tapered Pant
When every gram counts. When every item has to fight for backpack space. You need the Exploration Convertible Trousers. Made from a stretchy but durable nylon-elastane mix, these trousers stand up to day-after-day of wear and the challenges of steep switchback trails. When it comes to the fit, they're relaxed through the thigh, tapering towards the ankle, with a regular front and back rise and a regular-fitting waist. But perhaps their best feature is their versatility. Roll up the hem for mid-morning ventilation. By afternoon you'll be zipping them off mid-thigh. When evening comes, convert them into trousers again. And don't worry about losing the zipped off bits. There's a storage pouch for that. And finally, the water-repellent finish makes quick work of light showers.
