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 that are 6 cm shorter and is designed for women under 162 cm tall. If you're taller, choose the standard version.

Which size should I choose?

It runs slightly large: if you're between sizes, choose the smaller one.

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 heading out in heavy rain who need waterproof trousers, not just a water-repellent pair.

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.

Good weather is no longer a requirement

Clouds gather, the wind picks up, the trail turns slick, and most walkers turn back. You still have a pass to cross, a circuit to finish and a mountain hut waiting for you.

These trousers keep legs dry: the membrane lets moisture escape, sealed seams keep water out, and the elasticated high waist protects the lower back without riding down when you bend over. Articulated knees and stretch fabric move with every stride, while reinforcements at the lower legs 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 love how comfortable these trousers are: many find them very pleasant to wear, with one customer calling them among the most comfortable they have ever worn, and they allow good freedom of movement. The sizing is often considered accurate and the cut well designed. Several also praise the quality, with an impression of outstanding durability. For hiking, they are especially well suited to cooler seasons and winter when worn with a thermal base layer. Be aware that the fit can be too loose or too long depending on your body shape, so check the size guide carefully.

Really great trousers, they have been tested in Iceland near the waterfalls and cold weather and they passed the test! Now I can go for walks in wet weather as well!

I tested this morning as it is a rainy day! I'm satisfied, I confirm that it is waterproof! I just regret that at the waist is a bit low. Overall it is well designed, comfortable 'nice to walk with. Practice with 3 pockets.
