What are shell trousers?

Shell trousers are durable and multifunctional trousers that work for all outdoor activities and seasons. Shell trousers have a membrane that makes them both wind- and waterproof, while still allowing moisture and heat from the body through. In our shell trousers, we use Hypershell® membranes, which are available in three different levels: Core, Performance and Pro. Read more about membranes here!

 When can you wear shell trousers?

Shell trousers are great for all outdoor activities that place high demands on good ventilation and water resistance. The trousers act as weather protection against rain, wind and snow while also having many smart features. Wear them for skiing, hiking, cycling and fun outdoor adventures when the weather is unpredictable. The best thing about shell clothing is that you can wear them all year round. Our shell clothes are designed with carefully selected materials that enable the trousers to withstand challenging weather and high-intensity activities. They offer great ventilation, with a breathable membrane and ventilation zippers on the outside of the trousers, which come in handy if you easily get warm. Match your shell trousers with a cooling garment during the summer and add extra warmth with one of our base layers for women during the winter. This way, you can wear your shell trousers all year round and adapt how you dress for all weather conditions.
