The North Face Chakal Insulated Short Pant 2026

The North Face Chakal Insulated Short Pant is a men’s insulated ski and snowboard pant built for riders who want waterproof DRYVENT™ 2L protection, targeted HEATSEEKER™ warmth, and a shorter 30 in inseam for a cleaner fit over ski or snowboard boots.

Warm, Waterproof Resort Performance

• DRYVENT™ 2L Shell: Waterproof, breathable, seam-sealed construction helps block snow and wind while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
• HEATSEEKER™ Advanced Insulation: Synthetic insulation delivers dependable warmth with 40g in the legs and 60g in the seat for extra comfort on cold chairlifts.
• Short Inseam: 30 in inseam is designed for shorter riders or anyone who wants less pant stacking around the boots.
• Chimney Venting™ System: Mesh-lined inner-thigh vents help release heat during active resort laps.
• StretchVent™ Gaiters: Boot gaiters with gripper elastic help seal snow out around ski and snowboard boots.
• Reinforced Kickpatches: Durable recycled nylon kickpatches and hem binding protect against edges, boots, and binding wear.
• Adjustable Waist: Belt loops and hook-and-loop waist tabs make it easier to fine-tune the fit over layers.

Ideal For

Best for men’s skiers and snowboarders who want an insulated, waterproof resort pant with a shorter inseam. The Chakal Insulated Short Pant is a strong match for lift-served skiing, snowboard laps, storm days, groomers, and cold chairlift sessions where warmth, venting, and durable lower-leg protection matter.
