Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 4/10How much they add to your pack. 4: A bit below average.
Berghaus lists 0.370 kg in its spec table without naming a size. That is in the 370-469 g band, band 2 (3 out of 10), right on its lower edge: a lighter real weight in a smaller size would move it to 3. Fiona Outdoors lists 389 g for the men's size L (and 366 g for the women's UK 12), which fits 370 g being a smaller size but isn't used for the band.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 7/10How well the fabric and seams keep out heavy, long rain, when new. 7: Better than most.
GORE-TEX with no mm figure published for these trousers, so the GORE-TEX rule gives 7 (an estimate: a 9 or 10 needs reviews). Berghaus's GORE-TEX panel on this product page says 'Every seam is sealed', which meets the seam condition (the same wording we used for its Ridge-Seeker jacket).
In short
Good for
- Winter hill walking and Scottish winter days where long, heavy rain or wet snow is likely
- Walkers who want GORE-TEX with reinforced knees and seat for rucksack straps and boot edges
- Getting on and off over boots: 3/4-length two-way side zips
Strengths
- 3-layer GORE-TEX ePE with every seam sealed (Berghaus)
- Heavier GORE-TEX at the knees, inner calves and seat, where trousers wear first
- 3/4-length two-way side zips that open from either end to vent and to get over boots
- Elasticated waistband and leg cuffs that adjust at two points
- Free repairs for life through Berghaus's Repairhaus service
Weaknesses
- 370 g is in the 370-469 g band (4 out of 10), on its lower edge
- Berghaus sells waist sizes 28 to 42 with no S/M/L match, and no leg lengths
- No independent test of the men's pants, so fit and durability aren't scored
