FAQs

What waterproof pants does Paddy Pallin stock?

We stock a variety of waterproof pants from packable over-pants to alpine waterproof pants. The ultimate goal of waterproof pants is to keep you dry. There is nothing worse than being protected from the wet elements, but sweating beneath your waterproof pants and getting damp from the inside. As such, breathability becomes a key factor in your decision, especially in warm or humid conditions, and if you will be exerting yourself and perspiring while wearing the garments. The waterproof pants we range with 2-layer and 3-layer membranes provide a watertight barrier to the harshest weather, while optimising breathability for high out-put activities. Models such as theArc’teryx Zeta SL pant have 2-layer Gore-tex and NEW PACLITE® technology for industry leading waterproofing and breathability. All of our waterproof pants come with pockets, and many offer lower leg zippers which allow you to easily pull them on over hiking boots and shoes in a hurry as the weather changes. The fit of waterproof pants differs across brands, so make sure to try them on with the layers you intend to wear beneath them in the outdoors to ensure the best fit.

In womens hiking pants the waistline can be mid or high, and we stock a range of leg lengths from 30” (short) to 34” (long) to help you get the best fit.

How are softshell pants different to waterproof pants?

Softshell pants are designed to keep us warm in cold climates and protect from wind chill. Waterproof pants also cut out the windchill with their outer fabric, although they do not offer warmth without another layer underneath. Softshell pants have an inner lining of weaved fabric, designed to capture body heat and keep us warm, while the outer fabric allows stretch and breathability, it is also treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating to promote water beading off the softshell pants. Where waterproof pants are the go-to for wet-weather adventures, softshell pants are perfect for ski-touring, alpine hiking and sightseeing around cold climate cities and alpine towns.
