10K Waterproof Protection
DRYShield™ technology combines waterproof protection with breathability to help keep you comfortable during wet outdoor work.
The fabric has a 10K waterproof rating, helping prevent rain from passing through during moderate wet weather. Seam-taped construction provides additional protection at vulnerable stitched areas.
Breathable Performance
A 10K breathability rating allows body heat and moisture vapour to escape more easily from inside the trousers.
This helps reduce the clammy feeling that can develop when wearing waterproof clothing during active work, walking or other physically demanding outdoor tasks.
Durable Ripstop Fabric
The lightweight 4 oz ripstop fabric is engineered to resist tearing and provide reliable durability without creating an unnecessarily bulky outer layer.
Its practical construction makes the trousers easy to keep in a vehicle, work bag or kit room so they are ready when unexpected rain arrives.
Designed as an Overtrouser
The Stormshell Trousers are designed to slide comfortably over jeans, work trousers or other everyday legwear.
This allows them to be added quickly when the weather changes and removed once conditions improve, making them suitable for farming, yard work, construction, dog walking and general outdoor use.
Adjustable Elasticated Waist
An elasticated waistband provides flexibility and comfort while moving, bending or working.
Adjustable drawcords allow the waist to be secured over different clothing layers, while the snap fastening provides straightforward closure.
Easy Pocket Access
Front and back welt openings provide low-profile access to the pockets of the trousers worn underneath.
This means essential items remain within reach without requiring additional bulky storage pockets on the waterproof outer layer.
Reflective Details
Reflective detailing helps make the wearer easier to see in darker or low-light conditions.
These details improve general visibility but do not make the trousers certified high-visibility workwear. Suitable safety-rated clothing should still be worn whenever a formal visibility standard is required.
Size Guide
The Stormshell Trousers use a unisex fit based on men’s sizing and are designed to accommodate trousers underneath.

| XXS | 2X-Small |
| XS | X-Small |
| S | Small |
| M | Medium |

Choose your usual men’s size when wearing the Stormshell over jeans or work trousers. Women may need to select a smaller size than usual because the unisex fit is based on men’s sizing.
If you plan to wear them over leggings or lightweight knitted trousers rather than bulky workwear, consider sizing down.
