Berghaus Womens Paclite Gore-Tex Overtrousers

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Highly protective Gore-Tex Overtrousers. The 3/4 two-way zip with stud fastening allows for extreme venting while in use.

Berghaus says

Once you’re wet, everything seems ten times harder and it can put a dampener on the day. Keep these handy, fully waterproof GORE-TEX® pants tucked away in your rucksack and no rainy day will get in your way again. They fold into the tiniest space and have their own squashable mesh pouch. Fast to pull on, the side zips also help the air flow better when things start warming up. Lightweight and such an easy traveller, you’ll wonder how you managed without them.

Our Verdict

Women’s Paclite Gore-Tex Overtrousers from Berghaus provide very high levels of waterproof protection. The 3/4 length zips can be opened for venting when in use, you can open them up all the way down the pants and use the press stud at the ankle and halfway up to keep your legs still protected but very vented. The pants use a water resistant zipper and a storm flap over the top of that, if you’re battening down the hatches in these overtrousers there won’t be any ingress of water through the zip, that’s for sure.

There’s an option at the ankle to fasten the press stud slightly tighter around the ankle, this will stop any excess fabric from flapping about.
