Best-Selling Stretchy, Waterproof, and Breathable Protection for the Wettest Environments

The Aspire Plus 3L Pants are our top-selling three-layer high-performance rain shell and the new standard in breathable, waterproof rain protection. Now featuring an exclusive Nikwax DWR and 100% recycled 3L fabric with movement-mirroring stretch, the Aspire is the first technical apparel in the outdoor industry to be certified carbon-neutral by Climate Impact Partners.

New for 2024, the Aspire features an all-new stretchy three-layer 100% recycled nylon shell and Nikwax’s Direct.Dry, a high-performance, durable factory-applied DWR exclusively available on our Foray/Aspire Collection. Our 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 footwear. 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 Plus 3L Pants are engineered for dependable wet-weather protection and performance and are the most sustainable rain pants we have ever created.
