Shell trousers are waterproof and windproof garments that protect your legs in rain, snow and wind. They are a central part of any hiking wardrobe, especially in the conditions of northern Norway where the weather changes quickly.
At Jobb og Fritid you will find shell trousers for men from several brands. Most models use technical membranes such as GORE-TEX to combine waterproofing with good breathability.
Look for shell trousers with long side ventilation zips – these are essential for regulating temperature during activity. Reinforcements on the seat and knees increase durability, while snow gaiters keep snow out of your boots.
A good pair of hiking trousers should sit well on the hips without being tight at the crotch or knees. Make sure the waist does not dig in under the hip belt of your pack. Many models have an adjustable waist and reinforcements on exposed areas such as the seat, knees and thighs.
At Jobb og Fritid we have extensive experience with equipment for northern Norwegian conditions. We give you honest advice based on your activity and your needs – not just what is most expensive or most fashionable. Come and visit one of our shops in Tromsø to try garments and speak with knowledgeable staff.
Shell trousers are waterproof and windproof outer trousers without insulation, designed to keep your legs dry in rain and snow. They are worn over hiking or mid-layer trousers.
Side zips release heat and moisture during activity, and make it easy to put the trousers on and take them off without removing your shoes.
Brands include Norrøna, Helly Hansen and Arc'teryx.
