Our best-selling waterproof trousers, now in three-layer high performance materials with stretch, and still in plus sizes 18 to 30!
New for 2024, the Outdoor Research Aspire 3L Pants use AscentShell™ Dry technology in an all-new stretchy three-layer 100% recycled nylon shell and Nikwax's Direct.Dry, a high-performance, durable factory-applied DWR (durable water repellence) exclusively available on OR's Aspire Collection.
The Aspire 3L delivers lightweight, breathable, waterproof protection and superior freedom of movement in wet, rainy environments.
The Aspire is the first technical apparel in the outdoor industry to be certified carbon-neutral by Climate Impact Partners.
Best-Selling Stretchy, Waterproof, And Breathable Protection For The Wettest Environments
Outdoor Research's proprietary AscentShell™ Dry technology delivers superior breathability, waterproofing, and wind resistance, keeping moisture out and allowing sweat vapor to effortlessly pass through to regulate body temperature. The Aspire's mechanical stretch, articulated knees, and gusseted crotch provide an unlimited range of motion while full seam taping and YKK® Aquaguard® zippers keep moisture out. 3/4-length side zippers allow for easy on and off, even over walking boots. And when the sun finally comes out, the pants stow away in their back pocket and can be clipped to a harness or backpack daisy chain.
Perfect for hiking in the rain, cycling in challenging weather, or embarking on a wet weekend adventure, the Aspire 3L Pants are engineered for dependable wet-weather protection and performance and are the most sustainable rain pants we have ever created.

Why we love the plus size Aspire Rain Pants
Finding waterproof over-trousers that fit women's plus size bodies has always been a huge struggle. But these are the most size-inclusive performance rain pants on the market in the UK.
We particularly love the Aspire for its lightweight but robust approach to weather protection - which means their ideal for spending all day out in the rain, and if you run hot when you hike, the venting options from the thigh-high zip help to regulate your temperature and keep you comfortable for longer.
