Description
Designed for hiking, trekking, wet-weather travel, and long days on exposed trails, the NOVA Women's All-Weather Hiking Hardshell Pant provides lightweight outer-layer protection when rain and changing conditions become part of the route.
The relaxed, layer-friendly fit makes the pant easy to wear over hiking trousers, while articulated construction supports natural movement across climbs, descents, and uneven terrain. The overpant design adds dependable protection without creating unnecessary restriction.
The 3-layer waterproof build with fully taped seams provides 20,000mm waterproof protection and 10,000g/m²/24h breathability. Durable 75D fabric tested to 50,000+ abrasion cycles helps resist repeated contact with rocks, branches, and rough trail surfaces during sustained outdoor use.
Extended side zippers allow easier pull-on over hiking boots and provide quick ventilation when effort or temperature increases. Articulated knees, a gusseted crotch, and adjustable cuffs improve freedom of movement and help the pant sit securely around footwear.
Combining reliable waterproofing, durable trail performance, and adaptable ventilation, this hardshell pant is suited to hiking, trekking, wet-weather travel, and all-season outdoor use in changing conditions.

The 3-layer hardshell hiking/snow sports pants are amazing quality. There’s so much thought put into the design of these pants it’s hard to know where to start in reviewing them. First, they are 20,000 mm waterproofed and they have equal breathability at 20,000 g. The waist band is gathered most of the way around the waist other than the front where there is a durable, rubberized plastic button. All of the zippers—at the fly and on both sides of the legs—are made of a good quality plastic. The zippers have a waterproof membrane so they aren’t going to leak.
The construction is a medium weight outer shell made out of polyester and an inner shell made out of nylon. The third layer is a heavy-duty reinforced tape at every last seam so they are not going to tear no matter what you put them through. The powder blue is very pretty and leans toward the grey spectrum of blue. It’s one of my favorite colors so just opening the package made me happy. The knees are darted for movement which is good since these pants don’t have any stretch to them.
The cut is flattering for a woman’s figure so not only are they going to perform well and not fall down when you bend over but you will look good conquering that mountain or trail. There are also belt loops in case you want extra protection. The pockets are deep for a woman’s pants (thank you!) and they have mesh on the inside for breathability. The pant legs zip quite a ways up the back so you won’t have to remove your boots to take them…

The Pioneer Camp Women’s Rain Pants Waterproof 3-Layer Hardshell Hiking Pants are a genuinely impressive piece of gear, especially if you live somewhere where rain is not just weather — it’s a lifestyle.
I live in western Oregon, where investing in proper rain protection is almost a spiritual practice. If you’re going to spend time outside here, especially on trails, you either commit to staying dry or you accept a life of soggy regret. These pants feel like a very solid commitment to the “stay dry” philosophy.
The 3-layer hardshell construction feels substantial and genuinely waterproof, not just “light drizzle resistant.” The fabric has that reassuring outdoor-gear feel that suggests it can handle real Pacific Northwest conditions — steady rain, wet brush along the trail, and the occasional muddy scramble.
I’m particularly looking forward to putting these through their paces on local trail adventures. From soggy Brice Creek hikes to slushy Blue Pool romps with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, these pants feel like they’re going to be more than up to the task. (Pioneer Camp… if you ever make these for dogs, my Cavalier would like to place an order immediately.)
The fit and mobility are also very good, which matters for hiking. They allow for easy movement without feeling stiff or restrictive, and they layer nicely over regular hiking clothes.
But perhaps the most underrated benefit is the post-hike drive home. Anyone who hikes in the rain knows the misery of sitting in…
