Women's Walking Trousers

Comfortable and technical, our women's hiking trousers and leggings move with you while standing up to tough terrain. Breathable in summer, warm in winter, they let you walk with total freedom. Here's how to choose between trousers and leggings depending on the season.

Trousers or leggings?

Women's hiking trousers offer toughness, pockets and protection; technical leggings, fitted and stretchy, focus on freedom of movement and close-to-body comfort. Leggings suit fast-paced walks and the mid-season; trousers offer more protection on demanding terrain. Many walkers switch between the two depending on the activity and the weather.

Technical fabric and durability

The fabric makes all the difference: lightweight and breathable to stay dry during effort, tough enough to withstand trail friction, and stretchy enough to move with every stride. A water-repellent treatment shrugs off showers, and in heavier rain, waterproof overtrousers take over. For winter, warmer, windproof leggings or trousers keep your legs cosy at altitude.

Comfort, fit and practicality

A cut designed for the female silhouette ensures freedom of movement and support without feeling tight. A comfortable waistband, handy pockets (sometimes zipped on technical leggings) and an adjustable hem - every detail is designed with real use in mind. Lightweight and compact, these bottoms pack away easily for a quick change on the go.

Lightweight trousers for summer, warm for winter

Light and airy in summer, warm and windproof in winter - choose according to the climate and the terrain. When the heat rises, go for a walking short instead, and build out your kit over time with our hiking and trekking clothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hiking trousers or leggings for her?

Trousers offer more protection and useful pockets; technical leggings, snug-fitting and stretchy, are all about freedom of movement. Leggings come into their own for fast-paced walks and mid-season conditions, while trousers take the lead on demanding terrain.

Do hiking leggings keep you warm in winter?

Winter leggings, thicker and sometimes lined or windproof, keep your legs warm while staying stretchy. For serious cold at altitude, a pair of windproof trousers worn over the top adds extra protection.

Does the fabric need to be waterproof?

A durable water-repellent finish is enough for the odd shower; in sustained rain, a pair of waterproof overtrousers offers better protection. The key is a breathable, hard-wearing fabric that moves with you without getting in the way.

How to choose your size?

Choose a cut that's fitted to your silhouette, comfortable at the waist and free at the thighs and knees. Leggings should support without squeezing; trousers should allow long strides without pinching.
