What’s the difference between water-repellent and waterproof trousers?

Water-repellent trousers shed water droplets and withstand a moderate shower, but not heavy rain. Waterproof trousers like these have a membrane and seams that keep water out in sustained rain.

Which leg length should I choose?

The short version has legs 6 cm shorter and is designed for men under 172 cm tall. If you're taller, choose the standard version.

Which size should I choose?

It fits true to size: choose your usual size.

What should you wear underneath?

Wear them over your base layers in bad weather. In extreme cold, add thermal leggings underneath.

How many pockets does it have?

Three zipped pockets: two side pockets and a large bellows thigh pocket, with a micro-compass on its zip pull.

Yes. Its membrane stretches and moves with you.

How should I care for them?

Machine wash at 30 °C with zips closed, using a detergent for technical clothing and a gentle spin cycle. Do not use fabric softener. To restore water repellency, apply a reproofing spray after washing.

What are the delivery times for this product?

All orders placed by midnight are prepared the next day. In France, orders placed before 1 pm (excluding weekends) with Chronopost 24h are dispatched the same day. Delivery then depends on the carrier and takes 1 to 4 days in France. Delivery times for Europe and the rest of the world vary by destination.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Who did we design it for?

For hikers and Nordic walkers under 172 cm tall who want waterproof trousers without having to take up the hems: the legs are already shortened.

What makes it different?

Our CIMASHELL technology: a stretch membrane with a 10,000 mm waterproof rating and 10,000 g/m²/24h breathability, keeping your legs dry when the rain sets in.

How waterproof is it?

10,000 mm Schmerber waterproof rating and welded seams keep your legs dry in the rain. They also block strong winds of 60 to 90 km/h.

How breathable is it?

It lets moisture vapour escape at 10'000 g/m²/24h. During intense activity, any waterproof trousers will retain some moisture.

Rain trousers that keep you dry

The sky clouds over, the wind picks up and the trail turns slick. Most walkers turn back. You set off: the legs are already the right length, with no hems to sew or trouser legs to roll up in the mud.

These trousers keep your legs dry: the membrane lets moisture escape, welded seams keep water out, and the high, elasticated waist protects your lower back. Articulated knees and stretch fabric move with every stride, while lower-leg reinforcements resist abrasion.

Your phone and map in the large thigh pocket, the compass on the zip pull: everything stays close to hand without stopping.

Let the rain come. Your plans stay the same.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by the fit, comfort and short-leg option, especially appreciated by people around 1.70 m tall: the trousers sit well, remain flexible and feel pleasant, with a lightweight lining. They also praise their performance in rain, wind and even snow, during day hikes, high-mountain outings or in Iceland. Several find the sizing spot-on, and some have already bought another pair. A reliable choice for damp and windy adventures.

A great fit and very comfortable to wear. They are quite lightweight trousers and would need some thermal leggings in cold weather I would guess

First order, big satisfaction ! The size guide is accurate, the short legs are ok. Tested on my motorbike by 7 °C, I would say it has to be worn with a baselayer in colder conditions. I am very satisfied for now.
