Product Description
From Backcountry:The North Face Men's Venture Pant keeps you dry and comfortable during travel and trekking. Lightweight, waterproof and breathable, the Venture pant stuffs easily into its own left pocket—leave it in your pack for unexpected cold fronts and inclement weather, or wear it as a comfortable travel piece. The Venture features HyVent DT, a highly breathable, waterproof fabric with a raised microdot inner surface that acts to lift the shell fabric away from your skin. This provides a comfortable, soft, easy-sliding feel while maximizing moisture transport away from your skin. The result: you stay drier and warmer. The Venture pant comes with an elasticized waist with a drawstring and two hand pockets.

My ReviewHyVent is a waterproof, breathable material that North Face uses in many of their high performance products. Very similar to Gor-Tex, it is a top of the line product.
This is very durable (yes for ripstop) and light. What can i say i love it. The drawstring is very effective, and let me stress again they are exceptionally comfortable. The are also very quiet. They don't really make that swish swish sound every time you walk.
Wouldn't recommend for boarding or skiing only because they don't have a powder skirt for boots on the venture. Also no insulation.
Love these pants. I've used them a lot. Actually replaced my heavier older gor-tex pants. Remember to re-apply the DWR every once and a while depending on how much you use them.
