What are shell pants?

Shell pants for men are multifunctional pants that are perfect for outdoor activities all year round. The shell pants have a technical membrane that makes them waterproof and windproof while still having excellent breathability allowing moisture to escape. In our shell pants, we use premium Hypershell® membranes to suit many different areas of use, activities and weather.

 When can you wear shell pants?

Our shell pants for men have many awesome features and can be used for various outdoor activities year round. They act as weather protection against rain, wind and snow - making them perfect for skiing, winter hiking and mountaineering. Shell pants can also function as a lightweight outer layer that you can easily pack in your backpack when you hike. Combine our shell pants with waterproof shell jackets for men to be fully prepared for rain and wind.

Are shell pants waterproof?

We have several pairs of pants with a high water column rating, which means that the pants can withstand heavier and more persistent rain. The water column rating shows to what degree the garment is able to withstand water pressure before it lets water through. But a higher water column rating also makes it harder for the membrane to release body moisture. Therefore it’s important to look for shell pants with added ventilation zippers at the sides to encourage better airflow. Also look for fully taped seams and water resistant zippers when choosing waterproof shell clothing. Are you looking for waterproof clothing?
