Fjallraven Barents

£100.00

These trousers use a harder-wearing, non-stretchy G-1000 fabric that is incredibly durable. Reinforced panels on the knees and backside really do help add an extra level of protection. The most novel thing about these classic trousers has to be the way that you can waterproof them. Fjallraven sell a ‘Greenland wax’ that you can apply to the trousers with an ...

Patagonia Rock Guide

£70.00

A decent pair of lightweight trousers, excellent on summer days, and with a bit of in-built stretch that makes them good for travelling too. Recent hiking trips to Turkey’s Lycian Way proved their usefulness, both on a plane and on the trail, whilst taking up very little luggage weight. That lighter weight does mean that they are better suited to ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa

£50.00

A lightweight, quick-drying pair of trousers. More of a classic walking/travel trouser than some, with no stretch in the fabric. That isn’t necessarily a negative point, as when walking you don’ t necessarily notice the lack of stretch. The fabric is robust and despite sliding off rocks and boulders during the test, there were no real signs of wear. Inside, ...

Regatta Geo Extol II TRS

£46.00

These were quite a nice surprise – a pair of trousers with a technical climbing/walking look befitting of more expensive models. The off-coloured knee patches may not be to everybody’s taste, but they do add more movement to the legs, helping with bending and hill-climbs. They could do with being a little more reinforced however, as they do seem to ...

Paramo Merapi Active

£52.00

The first thing that makes the Merapis stand out against the other trousers in the test is the soft feeling of the fabric against the skin. Slipping into them, they feel incredibly comfortable, and lightweight too. That lightness makes them a good bet for warmer weather walking, as the air passes through well, and they are among the quickest drying. ...

Rab Traverse

£50.00

Fabulously lightweight and stretchy trousers that will be a favourite in any walker’s wardrobe. There’s no DWR on the fabric, but if they do get wet, they’ll dry incredibly quickly, and they’re superbly breathable too. They’re wonderfully easy to walk in, with a diamond crotch gusset for really easy movement, and the soft, lightweight fabric feels great against the skin. ...

£65.00

Lightweight summer walking trousers with a flattering fit and soft, cool, nylon fabric that glides smoothly over the skin as you walk.

The Craghoppers Nosilife Cargo Shorts’ nylon fabric feels tough and durable, and it is fast-drying, making it excellent for those who want to wear shorts during rain showers.

£35.00

The Gelert Venture Short is made from four-way stretch fabric, rather than just two-way stretch. This makes these incredibly comfy when scrambling about outdoors.

Fjällräven Sarek 2011

Some trousers are perfect for climbers, others for travelling light and others for surviving abuse from hill-walking and backpacking – and the Fjällräven Sarek is in this latter category. The key is the G1000 fabric, which can be waxed by the user for increased water resistance in required areas. This fabric is incredibly tough and is ideal for breaking trail ...

Adidas Terrex Mountain Pant 2011

£113.00

I was pretty surprised to find out how great the Adidas Terrex Mountain Pants were as Adidas is better-known for making perfectly round footballs rather than perfectly performing mountain gear. The four-way stretch fabric is incredibly comfortable; but so are many others here. What is important is how this fabric has been used. These trousers have a clean and close ...
