Men's Walking Trousers

Tough, breathable and comfortable, men's walking trousers take the miles and technical terrain in their stride. Lightweight and water-repellent, with handy pockets, they're chosen to suit the season. Here's what makes a good pair of men's walking trousers.

Technical, hard-wearing walking trousers

Men's hiking trousers combine toughness with comfort: a lightweight fabric, often stretchy, that shrugs off trail abrasion without restricting your stride. Breathable, they wick away sweat; water-repellent, they shed passing showers. They're a staple of any walking wardrobe, built to last on technical terrain.

Lightweight, breathable and water-repellent

The fabric makes all the difference: light enough not to weigh you down, breathable to keep you dry when you're working hard, and water-repellent for showers. In sustained rain, a pair of waterproof overtrousers takes over. Some models feature reinforced knees for demanding terrain and wind protection at altitude.

Pockets, fit and practicality

Zipped pockets to keep your map and phone secure, an adjustable waistband, adjustable hems - the details matter. A straight cut that moves with you without restricting your stride allows for long steps. Convertible models with removable legs turn into shorts when the heat rises.

Matching your trousers to the season and terrain

Light and breathable in summer, warmer and windproof in winter - choose your fabric to suit the season and terrain. To complete your kit, from t-shirt to trousers, take a look at our hiking and trekking clothing. Great freedom of movement and all-day comfort are what make a good pair of trousers: choose well, and you'll forget you're wearing them from the first mile to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which walking trousers should a man choose?

A lightweight technical pair of trousers - tough, breathable and water-repellent, with zipped pockets and a free-moving cut. Choose the fabric to suit the season: light and airy for summer, warmer and windproof for winter and high-altitude walks.

Are hiking trousers waterproof?

A DWR coating is enough for passing showers; in sustained rain, add a pair of waterproof overtrousers. Above all, the fabric needs to stay breathable so it can let perspiration escape when you're working hard on the trail.

Trousers or shorts for hiking?

Trousers protect against chafing, sun and cold, while shorts keep you cooler in the summer months. Convertible styles with zip-off legs give you the best of both, so you can adapt as the temperature changes throughout the day.

How to choose the right size for your trousers?

A comfortable fit at the waist with plenty of room through the thighs and knees for long strides. An adjustable waistband and an adjustable hem fine-tune the fit out on the trail.
