Are these pants waterproof?

No. They are insulated and wind-resistant at best, not waterproof. Wear a rain shell over them in wet weather.

What is the short length?

The inseam is cut shorter than standard, aimed at shorter wearers or anyone who wants the cuff to sit above the boot.

Are they warm enough for winter hiking?

For cold, dry walks and light hikes, yes. The fleece lining traps heat, but they are not a substitute for insulated snow pants in deep cold.

How do they compare with technical softshell trousers?

They are warmer and cheaper but less breathable and less weather-resistant. Softshells handle wind and drizzle better; these are better for cold, dry days.

What are they made of?

A cotton, polyester, nylon and spandex blend with a fleece lining.

Our take on the Mountain Warehouse Winter Trek II Womens Short Length Pants

The Winter Trek II is a short-length, insulated active pant from Mountain Warehouse, built for cold-weather walking and light hiking. It mixes cotton, polyester, nylon and spandex with a fleece lining, so it stretches and traps warmth without the bulk of snow pants. The short leg suits shorter frames and anyone who dislikes cuffs dragging. It is a budget-friendly alternative to technical softshell trousers, though it is warmer and less weatherproof than a proper shell. Owners rate it 4 out of 5 across 20 ratings.
