Rain pants are supposed to keep you dry. But if you can barely get them over your shoes when you arrive, your clothes still get wet, or you arrive feeling clammy inside, even waterproof pants don't feel like a good solution.
That's exactly why the Hello Rain rain pants immediately caught our eye. The clever design with fully opening side zippers made getting them on and off much easier. Now, these rain pants have received a major upgrade and continue as the Hello Rain Storm 20K rain pants.
More protection, higher breathability, and attachable shoe covers: these are rain pants for people who still head out even in a real downpour.
From Hello Rain Premium to Storm 20K
The original Hello Rain Premium rain pants are no longer available. The new Storm builds on the same clever concept, but has become technically stronger.
You can immediately see the most important improvement in the numbers:
✓ 20,000 mm water column
✓ Breathability of 12,000 g/m²/24 hours
✓ Windproof 3-layer construction
✓ Fully opening side zippers
✓ Reflective details
✓ Includes attachable Storm shoe covers
A 20,000 mm water column is exceptionally high for rain pants and provides a lot of confidence during heavy or prolonged rain. At the same time, the high breathability helps to release heat and perspiration when you are cycling, walking, or moving a lot on the go.
The clever difference: two side zippers that open completely
The biggest advantage of the Storm remains the thoughtful design. The zippers on both sides can open completely. So you don't have to awkwardly step through narrow, wet pant legs with your shoes.
You practically wrap the pants around your legs and then close them on the sides. That works well when you leave home, but especially when you arrive at work, school, or your destination.
Over the zippers is a protective flap with magnets and extra snap buttons. This keeps everything neatly in place while cycling, walking, or moving.
Includes shoe covers that snap onto the pants
New with the Storm are the matching one-size shoe covers. These are included with every pair of rain pants and you attach them directly to the pants with snap buttons.
The pants and shoe covers thus form one practical rain system together. The transition between the pant leg and the shoe is particularly sensitive to splashing water while cycling. The attached shoe covers help to better protect this area.
Important: these are the special Storm shoe covers. They are not the separate Hello Rain shoe covers; those form a different product.
Comfortable while cycling and for daily use
The elastic waistband ensures that the pants fit comfortably and easily fit over your regular clothes. At the bottom of the legs, you can adjust the fit around your shoes. Reflective details on the pants ensure that you are more visible in the dark and in gray weather.
Also handy: through the openings in the rain pants, you can reach the pockets of the pants you are wearing underneath. So you don't have to keep moving the contents of your pockets when it starts to rain.
The Storm is therefore a strong choice for:
✓ Cyclists and e-bikers
✓ Commuting
✓ Walkers and dog owners
✓ Rides on the scooter or motorcycle
✓ Everyone who has to be outside in heavy rain
Regular or Long: which length do you choose?
The Storm 20K is available in sizes M through XXXXL. In Black and Olive, you can also choose between Regular and Long. The Long version is specially intended for longer legs.
The color Pearl Blue is available in the normal length. On every product page, there is a detailed size chart. It is preferable to compare those measurements with a pair of pants that fits you well.
Are you torn between two sizes? Then choose the roomier size. After all, the rain pants are worn over your regular clothes and must also offer enough room to move while cycling.
Which color Storm rain pants suit you?
The technical properties are the same for all three colors. So you mainly choose the look that best suits you and your rain jacket.
Black is timeless, practical, and easy to combine. Olive is a calm, natural shade of green that looks a bit softer. Pearl Blue gives your rain outfit a fresh, light look.
Complete your Hello Rain set
Do you want the same high level of protection on top too? Combine the Storm with the new Hello Rain Premium 20K rain jacket in black or the Premium 20K rain jacket in off-white.
The jacket also has a 20,000 mm water column and is windproof and breathable. This way you put together a complete rain outfit that is technically strong, but does not look like traditional rainwear.
The story behind Hello Rain
Hello Rain was born out of a very recognizable frustration. Eli was fed up with his rain pants still wetting his clothes when taking them off. He grabbed a pair of scissors and sewed side zippers into his existing rain pants himself.
What started as a practical experiment turned out to be a remarkably clever solution. Together with Philip, the idea was further developed into a thoughtful design that makes getting on and off much easier.
You can still see that practical starting point in the Storm: no complicated solution, but rain pants that work logically at the moments when you really need them.
