I would like to ask, when going to Iceland in September, should I prepare hardshell pants or softshell pants? I'm undecided.. ?

I brought both when I went in July, but eventually didn't use the rain pants. First, soft shells were more comfortable to wear than rain pants. Second, the water from the waterfall and light rain were enough to handle with soft shells. When it really rains for a long time, you won't stay in the rain for too long. So it's recommended to bring soft shells with fleece.
Just came back from Iceland. I only wore a pair of jeans, with a sweater and a thin down jacket, or a sweater and a fleece jacket on top. But you should still bring a raincoat, especially if you're going to the west, where the wind is strong.
