Read more…Boot-cut. Rohan-style. When the weather takes a sudden turn for the worst, the Women's Ventus Overtrousers offer quick, effective protection. The two-way, three-quarter length Aquaguard zips allow you to pull them on over your boots easily, keeping your clothes underneath dry.
The Ventus Overtrousers are easy to pull on, offering a quick change when the weather turns whilst offering the added stretch to help provide more freedom of movement when walking. In addition, the Ventus features the Cohaesive™ waist adjustment with added elastication for comfort.
The Ventus Overtrousers comes with our renowned 3-Layer Barricade Standard, and it stops rain from getting in and is windproof whilst remaining fully breathable. The waterproof outer and breathable inner membrane and fully sealed seam ensure there is no leakage.
To be labelled waterproof and given the Barricade Standard, it needs to have a Hydrostatic Head measure of 20,000mm—the level of water a product can withstand, the benchmark is 1,500mm.
As we know, when it's wet outside, waterproofing is not something you want to compromise on, allowing you to do what you love for longer. So, the Ventus Overtrouser is the best of both worlds—waterproof and extremely breathable.
We have added the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) finish which makes light work of heavy or prolonged downpours. Instead of soaking into the material, water droplets bead up and run off the trousers, keeping the rest of your layers dry, providing additional protection against the elements.
When you no longer need that extra layer of protection, shake off the water and pack these lightweight trousers down, ready for when the weather turns again.
Fabric:
100% Polyamide
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
Our DWR finish is an advanced treatment which dramatically increases the water repellency of our fabrics. On its own, it offers a useful level of shower resistance; used in conjunction with our Barricade technology, it reduces the tendency of the face fabric to wet out and maximizes breathability.

I am desperate for a pair of overtrousers that fit properly and do the job.
This look great except they dont come in a short length. I have joggings which are marvellous and would love to have a pair of Rohan overtrousers for the heavy downpours.
Thes Ventus are good overtrousers but with a major problem, they aren't easy to get on or off. I tried the small and the waistband only stretched to 35inches, but they are to fit a hip of 37-39 inches, plus they are meant to be worn over your hiking trousers. I doubt they would last long before the stitching on the waistband broke.
Once on, they are a good fit, plenty of room to move and they hang well. A larger size for me would have been excessively baggy on the hip and legs, so will be returning unused.
Note they aren't lightweight like the previous overtrousers from Rohan, they're heavier weight.
