Royal Robbins Bivvy

£45.00

These are much more of a travel-trouser than others tested. They feel very casual; there is no stretch in the fabric, although it is made with a Ripstop knit, which makes it extra-tough and harder-wearing. Of course, that understated design does mean that these will be fine to wear when not on a hillside. The fabric is fine against the ...

Sprayway Rio

£40.00

Classically designed trousers made from a polycotton fabric with a soft outer finish. The waist is semi-elasticated and comes with a belt so you can fine-tune things if needed. The fabric feels reassuringly tough, although there’s no stretch in it, so they’re less comfortable to walk in than some. They’ve got some nice features, though, including drawcords at the ankles ...

Peter Storm Hopeful Stretch

£40.00

Very lightweight trousers with a bit of added stretch for comfort. There are toggle adjusters at the waist to fine-tune the fit, and belt loops if you wear a belt. They’ve got a flattering straight-leg cut, and the fabric glides easily across the skin, making them feel comfortable to walk in. They’ve got a decent water-repellent finish so they won’t ...

Royal Robbins Mountain Performance 2011

£40.00

The Royal Robbins Mountain Performance shorts feel like they’re made from tough cotton, but they are actually made from an even tougher nylon, which also has the benefit of being fast-drying. For yet more durability they have double seams throughout and generally they just feel like you could live in them for years without them wearing out. They get a ...

Sprayway Compass (male)/Escape (female) 2011

£30.00

The fabric used in the Sprayway Compass / Escape shorts is two-way stretch so they are great if you struggle with getting a good fit. There is also stretch in the waist so again these can expand around a tubby tum or hug a neater waistline. There is no belt provided but you get belt loops in case you want ...

Regatta Geo Extol Zip-Off 2010

£30.00

At under half the price of some comparable trousers, the Regatta Geo Extol Zip-Off is clearly going to be a favourite in terms of cost. But this is more than a low-priced product, as it also has plenty of practical features that allow it to compete with the best here. The fabric is quick-drying nylon as with higher-priced trousers. The ...

Mountain Hardwear Mesa Pant

£45.00

Made from a lovely, soft, lightweight fabric that is best-suited to warm conditions. The cut is loose, with a baggy, straight-cut leg and a waistband that sits comfortably on the hips. The fabric proved wonderfully breathable, with a good DWR coating to keep them dry. The fabric also has a fast drying time. As a walking trouser, they are let ...

Hawkshead Walker

£29.50

The waist band is high and rather small for the size stated, while the seat and thighs are much more generous. There is some elastic in the waist, and loops for a belt if you need one. Come in two leg lengths to help you get a good fit, and many will love the simple, uncluttered design. The fabric is ...

Craghoppers Kiwi Stretch

£45.00

The classic Kiwi pant cut from a stretchy nylon fabric. It definitely works as far as movement is concerned and even the most agile walker wouldn’t feel restricted. But they do lose a little of the casual appeal of the classic pant. They resist a little rain well, and they dry quickly after a soaking. And the SolarDry+ fabric is ...

Peter Storm Active

£25.00

Inexpensive but still a useful walking pant, especially if not asking too much from them. The poly/cotton fabric soaks up water more easily than most, and definitely doesn’t dry as quickly, but they do keep the wind off, and the fit is quite neutral, meaning they’re not bad to move in. Good selection of pockets, including two quite sizeable cargo ...

Gelert Tasmania Trousers

£35.00

The Tasmania is cut from a soft, lightweight nylon that felt nice to walk in and is generously sized. The fabric hasn’t got as much water-repellency as some, but it dried quickly, provided some wind resistance, and breathed well, too. They have two deep hip pockets, and a selection of zipped pockets for valuables. The reinforced, articulated knees aided movement ...

Craghoppers Classic Kiwi Zip-Offs

£40.00

Quite a traditional fit with a high waist and wide hips, the Kiwi comes with belt loops and a part-elasticated waist for comfort. The polycotton fabric is soft, yet tough and hard-wearing, repelled water well and offered lots of wind resistance. They took longer than some to dry, though. There is a huge array of pockets, including a large cargo ...

Gondwana Mungo Pant

£40.00

These are fashionable looking trousers cut from a very soft, slightly stretchy fabric that feels good and is easy to move in. The waist isn’t elasticated but does have belt loops. The legs are quite baggy, though. Out walking, they are definite all-rounders – warm enough for cooler conditions but not too hot or sweaty. They do a good job ...

The North Face Trekker Pant

£45.00

The Trekker are quite light trousers that are cut from a wonderfully soft, stretchy fabric, and they come in a good range of sizes. Beware, though, the sizing is on the generous side. The waist has no stretch, but does have belt loops. They look casual enough for the pub, and are crease-free and ideal for travelling; and in terms ...

Haglöfs Climatic Rugged

£40.00

Made from 100 per cent polyamide, these shorts have a really tough feel and come with the kind of cut that might roll off a high-quality lederhosen production line. Not as instantly breathable as others on offer, and we didn’t like the jeans-style front pockets, but they are ideal for spiffing Famous Five-style adventures on rockier ascents. (Women’s Mid Q ...

Vaude Farley Bermuda

£35.00

These have an anti-UV treatment and a great cut, making them a good pair of lightweight, quick-drying shorts that easily earn their place in your pack. Their ‘boy scout’ factor is high, but they benefit from Velcro fastening side and back pockets and a cut that makes them ideal on the hill.Made in Far Eastmail order (01665) 510660; www.vaude.co.uk

Berghaus Distance

£45.00

An excellent fit at the waist and in the leg, although there’s no elastic in the waist, so they lose on versatility here. The fabric is soft and comfortable. A perfect weight for UK hillwalking – warm enough for cooler weather but not over the top in the middle of summer. Colours: Grey squirrel, covert, coalSizes: 30-34in waist; 30, ...

Keela Paraguay Zip Off

£35.00

The soft, stretchy fabric is easy to move in and feels great against the skin, but the legs are way too baggy, meaning they flap annoyingly. Nice elasticated waist with a webbing belt. Good water and wind-resistance make these a delight to walk in, although better suited to milder conditions. The zip-off legs add to their versatility. Colours: Black, ...

Craghoppers Nosquito Lite

Lovely feel to the fabric and the waist has both a webbing belt and elastic panels for a good fit, but they’re a little loose in the leg. In warmer weather these perform brilliantly – the loose fit and fabric feeling lovely and cool. In fresher conditions they are a tad too light. Colours: Pebble, cadet, black pepperSizes: 30-42in ...

Nike ACG Cordillera Pant

These winter trousers from Nike are made from a wonderfully stretchy soft shell fabric, but are on the big side. They do come with a belt, though. Not as warm as most in their class, so better suited to more energetic going. They keep water at bay well, though, and are really easy to move around in. Colours: Olive, ...

Lafuma Cairn Pant

£35.00

These are walking trousers that can cut it on the hill, but they manage to feature some cool styling as well. The fabric is nylon but the weave and softness give it more of a cotton look and feel than you might expect. Careful use of double lines of stitching maintains some style while providing articulated knees and a waist ...
