Just found this older version on closeout... how waterproof are these? Should I plan on wearing a shell over them in rain/snow?

These pants are water resistant not water proof. They have a good DWR that will keep some water off but they are not waterproof. If you are in a wet environment you will need a shell of some sort to make them completely weather proof. If you are high, dry, and cold in the alpine you might not need a shell at all. Hope this info helps... good luck!
