Waterproof trousers
Purchased these trousers for my daughter in law as she walks most weekends with her husband and children. Reported back to say they are fantastic, very well made and totally waterproof and nothing gets through them even when walking in Lake District in very poor rainy weather. Highly recommended
Money well spe
I wish I got these trousers sooner. They are lightweight and I am a able to keep them in my back and put on when required. Totally waterproof and kept me dry during showers.
I’m really happy with the fit as I’m quite short and was worried they would be too long for me but I was so happy when tried them on and found them just perfect length for me.
I know these trousers are expensive because they are Gore Tex and Berghaus but in my opinion these are well worth every penny.
10/10 for me.
Great for summer mountain days
This product is light weight but warm and very waterproof when used over trouser’s. I have worn them on some seriously wet mountain days and have remained dry. They are also very comfortable.I managed to get them in a sale as I was a little reluctant to pay full price for them as they are not cheap. But they are good value.
Best waterproof trousers Ive had
These things are super light and very comfortable. I have had a paclite 2 jacket for many years and really impressed with it so decided to take the plunge on the trousers. They really are exceptionally waterproof and can hardly be felt over my walking trousers. Have not got too clammy in them so they are obviously quite breathable. I find most Gore-Tex stuff lasts forever these days particularly if you keep them clean. If you are after a waterproof trouser you probably wont go far wrong with these
These replaced a slightly heavier-duty pair of Berghaus which had begun to get wet at the knees.
First time out: 6 hours in constant drizzle and my legs were the only part that was completely dry, so full marks there.
These trousers have zips almost to the top of the leg and double tags so you can vent or reach into a trouser pocket.
A few minor niggles:
1. Although they do scrunch up enough to fit into a small mesh bag, it requires some effort as the bag is tiny.
2. There’s a noticeable white label inside on the front, which I mistook for the back, so I put them on back-to-front first time, thinking it was marking the back. The back is actually marked with black tag and loop and in poor light and conditions this could be tricky to find. An opportunity missed by the designers, I feel.
3. The zips are well-covered by a flap and at the knee there’s a popper tab which is a) completely unnecessary as the flap really doesn’t move, b) gets in the way when un/zipping. I will be removing it in due course.
4. I bought exactly the same size as my previous Berghaus overtrousers, but these are just ever so slightly tugging as I walk. (And I’ve lost weight!)
5. They are slightly noisier (not intrusively) than my previous (which are no longer made) and the fabric feels thinner.
Overall, however, so far so good, and I’m pleased.
I bought these for wearing in Iceland for walking and occasional boat trips. They replaced some from another brand that let in water in 20 minutes, although labelled waterproof not just showerproof. These Goretex ones are light, comfortable to wear and repel water easily. They don’t rustle. The side zips go right up so it’s easy to get them on or off over boots. Although light, they are wind proof too. I’m very pleased with them. They are a little short, slipping up if you sit down and exposing the ankle. I ordered short because I’m 5’4″, but medium may have been better.
good design trousers
Unfortunately i sent these back due to being slightly tight on the waist when wearing over golf trousers.
But lovely design .
Great waterproof trousers
Got these as I do a lot of walking, and being in Britain I needed something that was lightweight to carry “just in case”. They’re great. They’ve coped with a couple of hours walking in heavy rain and my trousers have stayed dry. Worth the money IMO.
Light strong waterproof
My last pair has lasted me 15 years. I have walked miles in them often in very muddy conditions and they are still going. I got this new pair for garden use. They are strong, waterproof, breathable and windproof – these short ones are ideal for me as I am under 5 ft.
Does exactly what it says!
Fitted well over trousers, longer than I thought- so perfect for using on my motorbike!! Awaiting for rainy day though! But for sure wont be disappointed as very familiar with Goretex products
For trekking in Nepal – lightweight with a small stuff-sack, that is very useful.
Breathability fab, waterproof and have good hem to thigh zip openings.
True to size, excellent product – I am generally a size 10 and 5’6″ tall. I bought a 12, 29 leg. They are fab but I could easily have managed perfectly with the size 10!
Berghaus Women's Paclite Gore-Tex Waterproof Trousers
May be expensive but at the end of the day well worth the money.
There is no substitute for being warm and dry in the foulest of weather.
Recommend them 100%
Best bit of outdoor kit for the money
Usual fantastic Berghaus product. Packs to almost nothing so light and compact. Lives permenantly in rucksack so you never get caught out on thos rainy days. Keeps one 100% dry. Love it.
Will keep you dry and perfect length
Brilliant for walking the dogs. Finally found a pair of waterproof trousers which are a nice width on leg and not 4 foot too long! I’m 5’2″ and these are the perfect length. Zips down sides allow a vent of cool air and enable you to reach your under trouser pockets. A bit pricey but if they do the job then they’re worth it.
Comfortable
Comfortable and water proof, I’m a size 10 and tall but went for a 14 as they’re over trousers, I would have been better of buying a size twelve but the waist band does have a draw string, they’re a bit big on me but ok.
They looked fine but I returned them as I’m only 5 ft and didn’t want to pay twice the amount to get a shorter size so took a chance. They were much too long. I’m a size 10 but found the waist too tight and that was without trousers underneath. I’m at an age where I can’t stand anything tight around my waste so they weren’t for me
Light weight and waterproof
My wife has has previously had a couple of pairs of these over trousers, she has found nothing else on the market that were as good. These are wonderful at a very competitive price.
Bought these trousers before hiking the West Highland Way and climbing Ben Nevis. They did an excellent job of keeping out the rain and wind in challenging conditions. The rain on the outside of the trousers would dry really quickly and they also got less muddy than my partner’s trousers. Compared to my previous, cheaper rain trousers they’re much easier to take on and off, due to the full length zipper, and also roll up really small, taking up next to no space in the backpack. They also look relatively good for rain over trousers (which are never the sexiest piece of kit). Overall really pleased with my purchase and would recommend them.
I’m unusually a UK8 but I sized up with these so that I could wear thicker jeans underneath and it worked as I planned. Comfortably. I’m 5’4 and bought the 31 inch and the hem touches the floor around my heel slightly but it doesn’t drag when I walk. Bought this cover up when I’m cycling in the rain. I haven’t tested it out yet, but it won’t be long til I do. There’s the usual noise from friction when I walk, but it’s not bothersome.
Light and Compac
I have had previous versions of Berghaus waterproof trousers and to be honest have been happy with the brand. I brought these due to their compactness – when you fold them up into the mesh bag you are looking at the size of a small bag of sugar. When you are out on day hikes and you bag is full of ‘stuff’ its nice to not have your bag filled out with waterproof trousers. I like the side zips as when it get hot – you can aerate your legs and access pockets in the trousers. Personally think its worth paying a little extra for the lightness and compact nature of the product.
Brilliant buy
Best over waterproof trousers I have had, they fit really well, no bulk, they roll up really small and pop in bag when not in use, used for the first time up helvellyn in the snow, and winds of a storm, stayed dry and warm
Lightweight, breathable, portable. Don’t sit on a wet bench though.
Really lightweight, they pack down to a size that is smaller than my fist (which is already a women’s size small!). Waterproofing is excellent, The only time water gets through is when I come into constant pressure with a wet surface, for example, if I don’t dry/cover a soaked bike seat beforehand, it starts to get through. Perfectly breathable, and doesn’t feel too hot wearing them for exercise because they’re so thin. Very happy.
Perfect!
Actually I’m between the sizes 10 and 12. Due to the reviews I decided to order size 10 (Standard 31 inches for my height of 170cm). Today I needed this pants on my way to work and I’m very happy with this pants. On top there is a lifetime guarantee for this product =)
Tired of walking about in trousers that absorb the water from the bottom up when it rains and then proceed to soak my shoes, I bought these Gortex ones despite the cost (they were far more expensive in local shops) and I am extremely pleased with their capability. They are over trousers but as the weather is so warm (but often very wet at the moment) I have worn them without trousers underneath and they are so light and cool. The sides have a zip that you can undo for extra air circulation and although they are more wide down the legs with nothing underneath, they look just fine, they aren’t meant to be a fashion statement anyway, The bottoms also have a button to make them tighter if necessary. I am a standard size 12 and this size fits me perfectly. Would thoroughly recommend.
I ordered a size 10 – which is my normal trouser size. I am 5ft 5ins and the length is perfect. Tested out on a 7hr hike with torrential rain & 50mph winds over Cadair Idris. The trousers passed! Very comfortable with plenty of stretching space to hoist those legs up screes, ridges and stiles!
Delighted with these Gore tex trousers- a replacement items after 5 years of use- comfy and waterproof. Pack small when not is use in net bag supplied. I have reproofed old ones with Nikwax products with good effect but eventually a hole on the inside knee was not repairable even with sail tape.
You won't be disappointed.
I brought these for my wife who is absolutely delighted with them. I ordered these along with the Deluge over trousers as she couldn’t decide which ones to go for. But having tried on both, the Paclite did feel and fit better.
I was so impressed I’ve brought a pair for myself (mens of course)
Perfect for travelling.
would have awarded 5 star had the length been right. Otherwise no complaints. Perfect for travelling. Super light weight and keeps trousers dry.Excellent value and super quick delivery. I would recommend this buy.
Diese Regenhose ist anders als andere, weil sie atmungsaktiv ist und deshalb auch bei wrmeren Temperaturen getragen werden kann, ohne das man das Gefhl bekommt eine “Plastiktte” zu tragen.
Auerdem lsst sie sich leicht im beiliegenden Mininetz zusammenfalten und findet dadurch auch Platz in der Jackentasche.
Bei meiner Krpergre 162 cm und meinem Gewicht von 54 kg ist diese Hose zwar immer noch etwas lang (trage sie ber dem Bauchnabel) und etwas weiter, aber wenn man darunter eine Jeans trgt und die Berghaus Paclite Pants als berhose nutzt, passt es schon.
Die regulre Lnge kann ich bei meiner Krpergre nicht empfehlen, wenn man so klein ist wie ich.
Auch die Gre S ist eher eine Gre 38/40, so dass ich diese zurckschicken musste. Die Kleidergre XS Short (Kurzgre) passt jedoch gut…

Very light weight, lenght option (short) was great but a little wide in thighs and a little narrow at ankle to fit over ski boots for touring

I have had a pair of these for years and sadly damaged them. This new pair were a size bigger as I thought the fit was a bit restrictive for climbing. Alas the size I ordered was too big on the waist etc so I just turnover the waistband to shorten it. Tip then: don’t buy big. Wonderfully waterproof and windproof. Would definitely recommend
I’m from the lake district so I’m confident of my expert status as someone who understands rain and avoiding getting wet when out walking. I’ve had the male equivalent of these overtrousers for ages with no problems and more than reasonable levels of waterproofing. It was therefore nice to see my wife out in these and for once not ending up looking like a drowned rat at the end of a walk where, surprisingly for Cumbria, it rained – but only for all of it.They are certainly light and add very little to the overall rucsac weight, they’re also well made and easy to get on over other clothing (because you wear other clothing when hiking right?) using a velcro fastening which seems robust and likely to grip for a long time. Go for a slightly bigger fit than you actually are ladies as it will give you more room to get them on. Enjoy your walk without that fairly offputting feeling of water slowly seeping down to your boots…
I walk the dogs five miles twice a day (yup nutter). Ok so we’ve had these high winds and lashing down with rain at the moment.
Have the trousers kept me dry? They really have! not only dry outside, but dry inside when walking gets hot and sweaty. I love the zip on the sides at the top that helps to keep cool when needed. Easy to put on even whilst wearing walking boots thanks to the long zip. But buyer beware, the leg lengths are a bit weird, short are 29 inch, the normal are 31 inch and long 33 inch. Sadly I bought normal length and they are bit too long giving me a baggy trouser look. I’ve not sent them back as the price difference is 30. So I’ll put up with it, besides being honest they are mainly for dog walks.
The sizing was accurate being the UK sizing. Quality made. Very light weight and easy to move around in. Great for walking or running. Would not suggest allowing any of the surfaces to rub on the ground…as the fabric is thin and I don’t think it would withstand abrasion. Side zippers make them easy to put on even with shoes on. Would have been nice it they had a pocket though.
These are the best waterproof trousers I’ve owned. Used them on the Yorkshire 3 peaks walk – where it was really heavy rain for over half of the 25 miles. These kept me dry without being uncomfortable. The zipped legs make them easy to put on and they’re not really baggy like some waterproof trouser. They are slightly small fitting, so getting a size bigger makes it easier to get them on over other walking gear when it’s wet and windy. They are lightweight and pack away really small in the rucksack too, so you can take them with you on every walk. Got jackets & trousers for both me and husband and they’ve been worth every penny.
