Shell trousers protect you against wind, water, and snow

Shell pants refer to the outermost layer of pants, i.e., the shell that protects your lower body from wind and moisture. The protection comes from the membrane beneath the outer fabric, which ensures that the pants are waterproof and windproof while allowing moisture, steam, and heat to escape from inside. The advantage of a pair of high-quality shell pants is that they are durable and can be used most of the year. Since shell pants are the outer and protective layer in the layering principle, you can adjust the inner layers according to the temperature of your body and the outdoors. Therefore, shell pants are the obvious choice, regardless of the weather conditions!

Choosing shell pants for men

Shell pants come in countless models tailored for different types of outdoor activities. Depending on the type of activities a pair of pants is primarily designed for, the shell pants can go by different names, such as waterproof pants, ski pants, rain pants, and hiking pants. If the plan is to use the pants for skiing or snowboarding in sub-zero temperatures, it’s wise to opt for airy pants that leave room for a thicker mid-layer. If the main purpose is to keep you warm and dry during your bike commute to and from work, a pair of shell pants with adjustable leg openings may be preferable. Haglöfs shell pants come in various fits, where you can choose between more form-fitting or looser alternatives, depending on what you prefer, and many can also be adjusted at the waist and leg openings.

Different functions and features of shell pants

The functions of shell pants can be crucial in deciding which pair suits you best, and it’s often the small details that make a difference in how you experience the garment. Leg openings with elastic cuffs, Velcro straps, or adjustable leg openings with drawstrings are practical if you’re climbing, cycling, or performing other activities where the pants should fit snugly around the ankle. An elastic waistband for extra comfort is also preferable regardless of activity, with or without belt loops. The placement of pockets can also matter, making it easier to access items like a lift pass or mobile phone. Read about the features of the different shell pants on each product page. There you will also find the available colors and sizes.
