Women's winter trousers that seal the lower leg against snow and stay light on the move
Huppa has dressed Estonian winters since 1997, and the Greta trousers borrow the construction of its snow garments: a windproof outer fabric with a 10,000 mm waterproof, 10,000 g/m²/24h breathable membrane, taped seams and a light 80 g/m² fill that insulates without slowing your stride. The soft lining is worn straight over long johns or tights.
Worn as a 3rd layer on the legs, over a thermal base layer once the cold sets in. Straight cut, waist adjustable in width with an elasticated back, removable adjustable braces. Sizes XS to 2XL on this reference.
Features: inner snow gaiters at the leg ends, leg width adjustable by zip to fit over the boot, built-in zipped pockets, reflective elements at the leg ends, taped seams throughout.
Grand-Froid expert's view
A Saturday in January in the Vosges, −4 °C / 25 °F, sledging run with the children: you sit in the snow, get up and go again. Pull these on over tights, zip the leg over the boot and forget the lower half of your body for the afternoon. Keep the braces on when you bend a lot: trousers that stay up let no cold air in at the back.
What is it designed for?
Trousers for winter days spent outdoors, with the family, on a bike or standing still, when snow and cold rain soak a pair of jeans in an hour.
- Snow with the family: sledging, snowshoeing, snowmen — the gaiters seal the leg ends, the membrane keeps the rest dry
- Winter cycling: cold rain and headwind, leg width set over the boot, nothing caught in the chain
- Standing outdoors: market, children's match, gathering — long minutes without moving, when the cold climbs up the legs
- Garden and animals: feeding, tending, tidying in cold damp weather, with zipped pockets that keep keys and phone dry
- A week in the North: Scotland, coastal Norway, Québec in mid-season — one pair of trousers for walking in slush
Thermal protection
Legs work as you walk and produce their own heat, so trousers carry less insulation than a coat: the 80 g/m² fill traps a thin layer of air without weighing down your stride. The outer fabric blocks the wind, the membrane keeps water out and lets vapour through, and the gaiters stop snow from melting against the skin: your legs stay dry, and dry means warm. Comfort ranges from +5 °C / 41 °F to −10 °C / 14 °F. Below that, or when standing still, wear thermal long johns underneath. The trousers insulate the legs: feet need their own protection.

Care & Durability
- Machine wash, delicate cycle, mild detergent, no fabric softener
- Before washing: close the zips, detach the braces, turn the trousers inside out
- Wash only when visibly dirty: the membrane wears with every cycle
- Air dry or tumble dry on low according to the label, never on a radiator
- Between washes, steaming refreshes the fabric without stressing it
- Off season: store clean and dry, without compressing the fill

Why choose these Huppa Greta women's winter trousers?
Because they deal with both ways water gets into trousers: through the fabric, with a membrane and taped seams, and through the leg ends, with gaiters and adjustable width. The light fill does the rest without turning a walk into an effort.
The three-layer system:
- 1st layer — base: next to the skin. Captures body heat and moves perspiration outwards.
- 2nd layer — mid layer: insulates and holds warm air around the body. Fleece, knit or thermal top.
- 3rd layer — outer (role of this product): shell, softshell jacket or padded gilet. Blocks wind and holds warmth. In sustained rain, a hardshell takes over.
On the legs, it is snow melting inside the boot that chills you, long before the fabric of the trousers does.
* Indicative temperature. Perceived warmth varies with activity, body type, humidity, wind and the layers worn underneath.
