The weather can change fast when you're outdoors. Women's rain and shell pants are the layer that keeps a sudden downpour from cutting your day short — waterproof and windproof protection that still moves and breathes while you walk, hike, or work outdoors. Ours are built to keep rain, wind, and snow out, stay comfortable when the pace picks up, and last through years of wet days out. Designed in Sweden, where the weather is rarely on anyone's side.
Why RevolutionRace rain & shell pants?
Waterproof, windproof, breathable: A Hypershell® Pro membrane with fully taped seams and a DWR finish keeps rain and moisture out, while letting sweat escape so you stay dry inside and out.
Made to move: Four-way stretch fabric with pre-shaped knees moves with you on every step — no stiff, rustling over-pants feel.
Vents when you're working hard: Thigh ventilation zips dump heat fast on the climb, so you don't overheat when the effort ramps up.
A fit you can dial in: An adjustable waist and a higher back waist keep out draughts and prevent gaps when you bend or crouch, while expandable ankle zips open up to sit neatly over your walking or ski boots.
Built to last, made responsibly: Hard-wearing fabrics, many made largely from recycled materials, across regular and slim fits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Shell pants are lightweight, durable pants suitable for all seasons. They have a membrane and taped seams that make them windproof and waterproof while providing excellent breathability. Shell pants can be constructed in 2, 2.5, or 3 layers.
2-layer: Outer fabric with a membrane laminated to the inside and a separate inner lining.
2.5-layer: Outer fabric with a membrane laminated to the inside and a protective coating printed on the inside of the membrane.
3-layer: Outer fabric, membrane, and inner lining that are tightly laminated together.
Shell pants are unlined pants suitable for year-round use. What you choose to wear underneath depends on how warm you run and what the temperature is outside. If you tend to run hot, a thin base layer might be enough under your shell pants. But when the temperature drops or if you get cold easily, you can add an extra mid-layer with thin fleece pants.
In summer, shell pants work perfectly without a base layer when it's windy and rainy. Since they're lightweight and packable, they're also great to pull over your hiking pants when a rain shower comes through.
Shell pants are multi-functional pants suitable for many different activities. They're popular as ski pants paired with base layers and mid-layers in winter. Thanks to how light and easy they are to pack, they're also great to bring along in your backpack on hikes so you can pull them on over your hiking pants when a rain shower hits. Stretch shell pants are also comfortable to wear on their own when it's rainy and windy out.
