Midweight nylon fabric is treated with DWR (durable water repellent) finish for added weather-resistance. Made from Bluesign approved fabric – a standard for environmentally-friendly production methods. Most hiking capris are overly-baggy and simply un-flattering; it's enough to tempt you to wear streetwear on the trails instead. Fortunately, The North Face caught wind of this and created the Women's Paramount Reed Capri as a flattering solution. The capri's light, resilient nylon fabric stands up to on-trail abuse, articulated knees let you move freely, and a DWR finish sheds light precipitation. A 24-inch inseam hits at the calf, letting you enjoy fresh air on your legs without showing too much leg.If you do want to raise the cuff a bit, a unique roll-up system lets you cinch the hems at the back and tie a bow to secure them.

The bluesign® standard
The bluesign® standard brings together the entire textile manufacturing supply chain to jointly reduce the ecological footprint of the apparel production process. Instead of focusing on finished product testing, the bluesign® standard analyzes all input streams – from raw materials and chemical components to resources – with a sophisticated “Input Stream Management” process. Prior to production, components are assessed based on their eco-toxicological impact and risk. Potentially harmful substances can hence be eliminated before production even begins.
The bluesign® standard addresses consumers’ growing desire for quality products that also meet the highest criteria regarding sustainability. Due to its holistic and systematic approach, the bluesign® standard ensures that components and procedures used along the supply chain are as harmless to human beings and the environment as possible. Products made according the bluesign® standard thus meet the highest standards of consumer protection, resource efficiency, and worker health and safety.
