The North Face

Summit Stimson FUTURELIGHT Pant - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like these for backcountry days where breathability matters just as much as waterproofing. The FUTURELIGHT fabric does a great job dumping heat on the skin track, and the vents are super effective. The drop-seat design and suspenders are really well thought out for long days out."

We step into the Summit Stimson FUTURELIGHT Pant when the objective is big lines, long climbs, and unpredictable conditions. The North Face built these pants for backcountry missions, where staying dry, managing heat, and moving efficiently all matter from first light to last descent.

The FUTURELIGHT™ 3-layer shell provides breathable waterproof protection, allowing excess heat to escape while shielding us from storms. An articulated fit, designed specifically for skiing and riding, moves naturally through every kick turn and descent. Outer-leg vents extend to the waistband for maximum airflow and easy transitions, while the hybrid suspender system enables full drop-seat functionality without removing layers.

High-denier kickpatches reinforce high-wear areas, and stretch gaiters keep snow out on deep days. Thoughtful details like gear loops, secure zip pockets, and jacket integration points make these pants a dialed system for serious mountain travel.
