Insulated shell trousers for women – warmth in the cold

Insulated shell trousers for women for winter use

Insulated shell trousers combine a waterproof outer shell with warm insulation – perfect for cold, wet winter days. They are a favourite among skiers, dog mushers and anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in the northern Norwegian winter.

At Jobb og Fritid you will find insulated shell trousers with PrimaLoft, down or other technical insulation materials. The shell is often GORE-TEX or an equivalent membrane that keeps out snow, rain and wind.

When do you need insulated shell trousers?

These trousers are ideal for sedentary activities in the cold – such as dog mushing, hunting or watching outdoor events – as well as for women who want one pair of trousers that is both warm and weatherproof. For active outings where you move around a great deal, a standard shell trouser with a mid-layer underneath may be more versatile.

Pay attention to fit

A good pair of outdoor trousers should sit well over the hips without being tight at the crotch or knees. Make sure the waistband does not dig in under the hip belt of your rucksack. Many models feature a adjustable waist and reinforcements at exposed areas such as the seat, knees and thighs.
