A pair of trousers that follows every stride, from the forest to the boulder fields.
Stretch and Pre-shaped Knees
A hiking trouser is first judged by its freedom of movement. Stretch fabrics, like those in the Rab Ascendor, the Haglöfs Korp Lite or the Tenson TXlite Flex, stretch with big strides and high climbs, and the pre-shaped knees prevent the fabric from pulling when going uphill. The water-repellent treatment causes light rain to bead up, and synthetic fabrics dry quickly after a walk through wet grass.
Convertible, Cargo or Softshell
The convertible trouser, like the Berghaus Trail-Explorer or the CMP zipped version, turns into shorts by detaching the legs: a single item for the coolness of the morning and the warmth of the afternoon. The cargo trouser, like the adidas Terrex Xploric, adds side pockets for a map and a phone. The softshell trouser, like the Karpos Scarnia, blocks the wind and resists light rain while being breathable, ideal for autumn and in the mountains.
Waterproofs and Tights
The waterproof three-layer trouser, like the Helly Hansen Verglas Infinity 3L, combines outer fabric, membrane and lining into a single lightweight and durable fabric for long rainy days. The over-trouser, like the Pro-X Elements Ontario, is worn over the trouser at the first sign of rain. The hiking legging, like the Ayaq Hellefonna, is suited for fast hiking. A technical trouser can be washed at 30 degrees, without fabric softener, and regains its water-repellency with a spray.

Frequently Asked Questions
What hiking trouser for the mountains in summer?
A lightweight stretch fabric trouser, like the Rab Ascendor or the Haglöfs Korp Lite, accommodates big strides and dries quickly after rain. Its water-repellent treatment beads light rain without weighing down the fabric.
Is the convertible trouser really practical?
It transforms into shorts thanks to zips above the knees: handy when the temperature varies between the valley floor and the pass. It saves you from bringing an extra pair of shorts, though the zips can sometimes be bothersome while walking.
What is a softshell trouser for?
The softshell is a thick, stretchy fabric that is windproof and water-repellent, keeping you warm without being waterproof. It is suitable for autumn and winter hiking, ski touring, and windy outings at altitude.
Do you need a waterproof over-trouser for hiking?
For several days or in the mountains, yes: lightweight and packable, the over-trouser is worn over the trouser when the rain sets in. Side zips allow it to be put on without removing your shoes.
How do you choose the length of a hiking trouser?
The bottom should fall just above the shoe without dragging on the ground, to avoid getting caught or wearing out under the heel. Models with adjustable cords at the ankles fit over high shoes and block small stones.
