Best reviews of ⌛ Bottoms Quechua SH500 X-Warm, Water-Repellent Hiking Pants, 👩 Women’s 🤩

These warm, water-repellent, and windproof pants are the ideal solution for hiking on any type of snow. Its highly stretchy material provides maximum comfort for snowshoeing.

Our designers developed these softshell pants for regular hikes in cold and snowy conditions. Designed in a warm and water-repellent stretch material

What is water-repellency and how can you maintain it?

A fabric’s water-repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm, and breathable. The water-repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment’s lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products (spray or liquid) designed specifically for this purpose are available in our stores.

Can you be sure that your pants are warm enough for hiking in the winter ?

The inside of your pants is brushed – a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: The component knit is structured to add volume to trap air, naturally insulating. It is exactly the same principle as animal fur or feathers.

Comfortable and practical snow hiking pants.

These pants’ slim fit and stretch fabric provide freedom of movement, which is essential when hiking on snow. The zipped pockets secure everything that needs to be at hand (tissues, lip balm, keys…).

How do your pants protect you from outdoor conditions?

In winter, it is important to be protected from both moisture (snow, rain) and wind, because the latter can significantly cool the body, regardless of whether you are physically active or standing still. We designed these pants with a windproof and water-repellent outer fabric, to cope with all winter conditions. We also added lace attachments to stop snow from getting inside.

How to dress properly for hiking in the snow

To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle:
layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.
layer 2: The 2nd layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outward.
layer 3: The jacket protects from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.
The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.
