Technical Features

Warmth Rating

The 3-layer shell waterproof construction will hold in some body heat, but the overall construction does not have any added insulation, so the warmth rating alone is lower. Paired with the right layering system and this pant can be used in most winter conditions. 

Waterproof Rating

The waterproof rating for HELLY TECH® PROFESSIONAL is not provided, but based on what we can determine this 3-layer construction is of the higher waterproof/breathable ratings and is estimated to be a minimum 20K/20K.
