Women's Waterproof shell trousers

How do you recognise good shell trousers?

We tell you the key figure for every pair of shell trousers: the hydrostatic head. 10,000 mm works for basic outdoor use, but for hiking it’s worth choosing trousers with a value of at least 15,000, preferably 20,000 or above. The higher the value, the better the trousers protect you when the rain keeps coming. There are also differences in the details: some people want full-length side zips, for others plenty of pocket space is the priority, while a third wants their shell trousers to pack down as small as possible.

Shell trouser constructions - which one suits you?

Shell trousers are made with three different constructions: The two-layer construction is a lightweight and affordable basic choice, with a light lining inside the trousers, most often a mesh fabric. The 2.5-layer construction is superlight and packs down small, which makes it a great fit for hiking. The three-layer construction is the most hard-wearing yet still highly breathable option for demanding, active use.
