686 Womens Hellkat Shell Pants Dark Earth Grid Corduroy
A lightweight women’s shell pant with an oversized fit, stretch construction and dependable waterproof protection for skiing and snowboarding.
The 686 Women’s Hellkat Shell Pant combines a loose, early-2000s-inspired silhouette with modern technical materials. Its wide, baggy leg gives it a distinctive look while creating plenty of space for movement and layering during long days on the mountain.
This version uses a 2.5-layer infiDRY 10K grid corduroy polyester fabric with a PFAS-free durable water-repellent finish. Fully taped seams help prevent moisture from entering through the stitching, while the lightweight shell construction allows warmth to be adjusted using the layers worn underneath.
Stretch fabric and the oversized cut provide excellent mobility, while Air-Flo inner-leg vents help release excess heat. An elasticated waist with an integrated adjustable webbing belt secures the fit, and elasticated cuffs with internal gripper elastic help keep the hems positioned around the boots.
