The North Face Class V Pathfinder 5" Pull-On Shorts

The North Face Class V Pathfinder 5" Pull-On Shorts in Dust Orange function as a versatile hybrid for those moving frequently between urban environments and the water. Constructed from a durable recycled nylon blend with integrated stretch, these shorts provide the necessary mobility for hiking and scrambling while maintaining a relaxed, airy feel. The specialised non-PFC water-repellent finish ensures that the fabric sheds light moisture and dries rapidly after a dip, solving the problem of staying in damp clothing during transitional outdoor adventures.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 40°C or below with similar colours to maintain the technical stretch
