The North Face: Men's Venture Side Zip Pant

If you need compressible waterproof pants for hiking, trekking, cycling or roaming around faraway villages you can't go wrong with The North Face Venture Side Zip Pant. Unlike previous Venture incarnations that were water-resistant, this full-length side zip pant is fully waterproof and features an innovative tactile microdot inner surface that keeps the HyVent™ DT barrier off your skin, making it perfectly comfortable for wearing over shorts. This texture moves easily over other layers and the fabric enhances internal vapor transfer on a molecular level, resulting in full weather protection with uncommon breathability. When the wind subsides and the sun comes out, stuff the entire garment into the left pocket for compact storage.
