baleaf Women's Fleece Lined Hiking Pants Water Resistant Thermal Black S

- Water-resistant softshell, fleece
- 4 zipper pockets, reflective details
- Adjustable convertible cuffs
Our take
The best mix of fit and features. Cinch the cuffs and it is a good winter hiking pant.
Why it made the shortlist
The baleaf Fleece-Lined pant has a water-resistant softshell exterior, a thermal fleece interior and four zipper pockets with reflective details. Articulated knees, a straight leg, an elastic waistband with outer drawcord and adjustable ankle cuffs complete the build.
Against the MAGCOMSEN Waterproof Softshell, it trades a waterproof coating for a lighter feel.
It suits a woman who hikes, walks and commutes in cold weather and wants lightweight warmth with real mobility. The convertible cuff helps in light snow.
What works
- Adjustable cuffs seal out snow
- Articulated knees for movement
- Reflective details for low light
Watch out for
- Water resistant, not fully waterproof
- Lightweight build is less insulated than a snow pant
- The catch
- Listing says water resistant, so heavy wet snow will soak in.
