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, ...

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. ...

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 ...

The stretchy soft shell fabric feels lovely and soft against the skin and makes these incredibly comfortable. The waist comes with belt loops and Velcro-adjustable tabs.
