Women's Hiking Trousers and Leggings

The modular trousers

The modular or zip-off trousers, like the Regatta Travel Light or the Regatta Mountain, convert into shorts by detaching the lower legs with a zip: they adapt to temperature changes throughout a day in the mountains, from the cool start to the midday heat. The zips are colour-coded to help reattach each leg correctly. It's the ultimate travel trouser.

Stretch, softshell and feminine cuts

The stretch canvas trousers, like the Maier Sports Stoneflex, the Haglöfs Korp Lite or the Dare 2B Melodic, allow for movement on high hikes and rocky passages. The softshell, like the Luhta Eikniemi or the Karpos Scarnia, cuts the wind and withstands light rain, making it ideal for autumn. The feminine cuts take into account the hips and waist, with a waistband that doesn’t gap at the back when bending over.

Rain and leggings

The rain trousers with side zips, like those from CMP, open along the entire length of the leg for easy on-and-off without removing hiking shoes. The overtrousers Pro-X Elements can be stashed in the bag for sudden showers. The hiking leggings, like the adidas Terrex Multi or those from 4F, offer complete freedom for quick hiking, with pockets for your phone. A technical trouser can be washed at 30 degrees without fabric softener.

Frequently asked questions

Leggings or trousers for hiking?

Leggings, which are tight and very stretchy, are great for dry trails and sporty outings. Hiking trousers, which are more resistant to abrasion, offer better protection against brambles, wind and rocks.

How does a zip-off trouser work?

A zip above the knee detaches the lower legs to turn the trousers into shorts, like with the Regatta Travel Light. Colour-coded zips help reattach each leg correctly.

Which trousers should I wear for winter hiking?

Softshell trousers block the wind, resist light showers and remain stretchy. Thermal leggings worn underneath add extra warmth for very cold weather or snow.

Do I need a rain overtrouser for hiking?

Light and packable, it can be tucked away at the bottom of the bag and can be worn over trousers in case of a storm. Side zips allow for easy wear without removing shoes.

How do I find my size in women's hiking trousers?

The feminine cuts consider the hips and a more defined waist. Also check the leg length, as some brands offer their models in short or long versions.
