Aspire 3L Pant - Plus - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These are the pants I grab for serious weather—they’re breathable enough to hike hard in, and the side zips make them super easy to get on over boots. Plus, they pack down into their own pocket, which is clutch for travel."

When wet weather moves in, we rely on the Outdoor Research Aspire 3L Rain Pants – Plus for breathable, waterproof protection that keeps pace with our adventures. Designed with movement-friendly stretch and storm-ready performance, these pants use a 3-layer AscentShell™ Dry fabric that blocks rain while letting vapor escape, so we stay dry and comfortable from trailhead to summit.

With articulated knees, a gusseted crotch, and 3/4-length side zippers, the Aspire pants offer full mobility and on-the-go versatility—easy to pull on over hiking boots or cycling shoes when the skies open up. Their 100% recycled nylon shell features Nikwax’s factory-applied Direct.Dry DWR, ensuring lasting water repellency. When the storm passes, they pack neatly into the back pocket and clip to a harness or pack. Durable, breathable, and fully seam-taped, the Aspire 3L Rain Pants are our go-to shell for when adventure doesn’t stop for the weather.
