Salomon Vertigo Shorts

£30.00

Made from actiLITE Tech nylon, these were noticeably the lightest shorts we reviewed, making them an ideal extra to throw in your sack if the weather looks promising. They have a sun protection factor of UPF 50 and benefit from draw-string adjustment at the waist (ideal if you shed a few pounds on a long distance path). Simple, but all ...

Jack Wolfskin Hoggar Shorts

£40.00

These rugged trekking shorts offer an excellent compromise between light weight and durability, with lots of useful features for the hill: a waistbelt, side pockets, UPF 40 sun protection and an extra comfort zone around the waist. With a slightly longer cut these were among our favourites on the hill and are definitely at the top of our, ahem, short-list, ...

The North Face Meridian Convertible

£45.00

A great fit – ticking all the boxes at the waist, with belt loops, elastic panels and a drawcord. The nylon fabric is very comfortable against the skin, and the zips used to remove the legs are so well designed that you don’t really notice them when walking. Wind-resistant and incredibly quick-drying, these are ideal for most UK hillwalking conditions. ...

Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Stretch

£47.00

Made from a tough polyamide/spandex blend, the Kiwi Pros feel as agile and comfortable as the name suggests. The fabric is lightweight and stretches easily with leg movement for maximum comfort and agility on tough hillwalks. They’ve also been treated with Craghoppers SolaDry sun protection, and a water-repellent finish which will make sure they stay dry in a shower. And ...

Marmot Invincible Pant

£50.00

This is an updated version of a walking trouser that I have been lounging about in since October 2003, when I reviewed the original design. The new version has a wider ankle cuff and generally cooler styling. The fabric is the same bombproof Ironwear N700 with Touch Dry finish, which has proved to be tougher than any jeans without losing ...

Berghaus Statis Pant

£50.00

These are wonderfully comfortable trousers cut from a fabric that feels soft against the skin yet stretches enough to allow easy movement. The waist is part-elasticated with a webbing belt, so a good fit is easy to achieve, although the legs are quite loose. Out in the hills, the Statis is a natural all-rounder; the cordura fabric proved warm enough ...

Lowe Alpine Mettle Tech Pant

£55.00

These are very lightweight walking trousers. The fabric is not quite as ‘cottony’ as some, but it is far cooler than some dedicated mountain trousers. The fabric does not stretch, so you get a diamond crotch to increase freedom of movement. The fabric feels reasonably durable, too, for mountain use. An unusual feature is mesh vents inside the articulated knees. ...

Rohan On Track Cargo Shorts 2011

£55.00

The Rohan On Track Cargo Shorts’ fabric is a very tough nylon that looks and feels like a heavy cotton but is fast-drying. You get two lines of stitching too so they should be very durable. For comfort there is a nice big crotch panel and the waist is elasticated. So while these shorts do not use a stretch material ...

Rab Treklite Pant

£60.00

The Treklite is exceptionally comfortable, thanks to its lightweight, stretchy fabric that feels good against the skin and their well-shaped articulated knees. They come with an integral belt and stretch waist so you can be sure of a comfortable fit, but they only come in one leg length for each size, which may put some off. The fabric feels cool ...

Lowe Alpine Paradigm Pant

£70.00

These winter trousers from Lowe Alpine fit well – they’re roomy enough to move freely in, yet snug enough to keep you warm with good breathability. Lightweight, with lovely soft inner fabric, but a belt would be better than the drawcord adjuster. They’re never found wanting for warmth and don’t feel clammy, keeping you dry and comfortable on even the ...

Berghaus Ortler Pants

£70.00

The Ortlers perform like a soft shell in terms of water resistance, breathability and stretch, yet they are casual enough to wear in the pub. The fit is perhaps a tiny bit loose, which is a shame as with so much stretch in the fabric, ease of movement wouldn’t suffer if they were tighter. But the waist has elastic panels ...

Montane Terra Pants

£70.00

Hard-to-beat walking trousers that perform well in all but the hottest and coolest conditions. The sizing is quite generous, but to fine-tune the fit they’ve got a part-elastic waist and chunky, removable belt. The fabric is soft, supple, very lightweight and water-repellent, and dries really quickly. It also provides some wind protection, and is wonderfully breathable. There are wide, zip-access ...

Montane Terra Converts 2010

£75.00

While pretty much any trousers can be used for hill-walking, some are better than others – and the Montane Terra Converts are feature-packed to lift them above the opposition. They are reasonably light, so they’re good for backpackers. The material is a fast-drying nylon as used by many brands, but it benefits from reinforcement panels on the knees and seat ...

Mountain Equipment Mountain Stretch

£80.00

The fleece-lined waist band lacks elastic, but they come with an integral webbing belt which holds them up just fine. The Stretchlite Mountain fabric is light and stretchy and felt soft against the skin, while the articulated knees made them a delight to move in. They also come in regular and long leg lengths – a big bonus for getting ...

Montane Terra Alpine

£80.00

Really quite technical trousers and performed incredibly well on the hills. The stretch-woven fabric is more like traditional soft shell, which allows for a great range of movement whilst remaining close-fitting and doesn’t ride up. This can be particularly useful on windy ridges and when tackling difficult terrain. The narrow fit in the leg is helped with a zip-opening ankle ...

Mountain Equipment Combin 2009

£100.00

Mountain Equipment has a long-standing reputation for highly versatile, quality outdoor wear – and their Combin trousers are no exception. I especially like the attention to detail on the features, which makes them a great choice for the hills all year round. The pockets are slightly offset so the zips avoid your hip bones (you soon know about this if ...

Mammut Base Jump Pant

£100.00

Very popular, well-established walking trousers that benefit from a huge range of sizes and three leg lengths. The well-proven Schoeller four-way stretch material is treated to keep off light rain. The trouser is very comfortable and the fabric is softer on the skin than some lower-priced options. The knees are articulated and the cut is neat, tidy and practical. The ...

Berghaus Nimbus Pant

£120.00

The Nimbus pretty much ticks all the boxes when it comes to desirable features for a performance hill and mountain walking trouser. The waist caters for every eventuality in terms of weight gain or loss. The waist is also elasticated and has a belt for good measure. They have a tricot-lined waistband for extra comfort, which softens the elastic waist ...

Mammut Base Jump Advanced Pant 2011

£130.00

The Mammut Base Jump Advanced Pant is a modern classic that in many ways sets the standard for other trousers to meet. Firstly it benefits from a wide range of sizes so it should fit more people than most trousers do. The fabric is very tough and durable, so it’s great for scramblers, mountaineers and mountain walkers who end up ...
