Outdoor Research Headwall Gore-Tex 3L Pants | Waterproof, Windproof & Durable

Weatherproof protection for demanding days

Outdoor Research presents the Headwall Gore-Tex 3L Pants, a rugged option built to withstand mountains and variable weather. The shell uses bluesign approved Gore-Tex 3L ePE with a 100% recycled poly layer, paired with a durable 85% nylon and 15% Kevlar scuff guard for added resistance.

Designed to deliver waterproof performance, wind protection, and breathability in a single shell, these pants are built to handle wet cold, light wind, and long approaches without restricting movement.

Materials and construction

Key fabrics include a bluesign approved Gore-Tex 3L ePE shell and a heavy-duty 85/15 nylon/Kevlar layer. The construction is fully seam-taped for reliable protection at seams, helping keep moisture out during wet descents.
