Trail trousers and leggings for men
Our selection of Men's Trail Trousers and Leggings brings together the bottoms for running warm: adidas Terrex Xperior trousers and legging, Joma R-Trail legging and softshell trail trousers Gonso, for winter outings and routes exposed to the wind.
Keep your legs warm, on all the trails.
Running in the winter mountains
When the temperature drops, shorts give way to leggings or trousers. In trail running, legs are exposed to the cold, strong winds from the peaks, rain, as well as thorns and branches on the trails. Appropriate lower garments keep the muscles warm, reducing the risk of injury and protecting the skin. They should remain completely free around the knees for steep climbs, tricky descents, and big strides.
Other clothing
Men's trail textiles also come in:
- Jackets and Windbreakers.
- Shirts and T-shirts.
- Shorts and Bibtights.
- Sweatshirts.
- Technical Underwear.
- Socks and Ankle Socks.
All the textile is gathered on the men's textile page.
Fitted or loose
The leggings, like the adidas Terrex Xperior or the Joma R-Trail Nature, hug the leg without being loose: they don’t catch on branches, provide slight muscle support, and are suitable for fast runs. Winter models have a brushed inner side, soft and warm. The trousers, which are looser, are worn in extreme cold or on long mountain outings; the softshell trousers Gonso, from the German brand, block the wind and repel showers while still being breathable.
The right details
Check for a zippered pocket for an energy bar or a key, a drawstring at the waist, and fitted cuffs, some trousers having zips to go over shoes. Reflective elements alert drivers to the runner on access roads to the trails. The adidas Terrex Xperior trousers from the brand's outdoor range include these features. Wash them at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, and let them air dry.
Good deals
Great bargains are also found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent out in 24 hours. The key shopping times of the year follow a consistent order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and back-to-school season.
Frequently asked questions
Leggings or trail trousers: which to choose in cold weather?
Leggings, close-fitting, keep muscles warm without hindering stride, ideal for fast running. Trousers, looser and often softshell, provide better protection from wind and thorns on technical trails.
At what temperature should you switch to leggings?
Many trail runners adopt leggings below about ten degrees, even earlier in windy or damp conditions. Keeping muscles warm reduces the risk of injury and cramping.
What details to look for in trail trousers?
A wide, flat waistband, pockets for gels, zippered ankles for putting them on without removing shoes, and reflective elements for night runs.
Does the adidas Terrex Xperior legging suit mountain use?
Yes, it's designed for varied terrain outings, with stretchy material that remains free around the knees during climbs and descents. It can be worn alone in cool weather or under trousers when it's freezing.
How to care for softshell trousers?
Wash them at thirty degrees with a mild detergent, without fabric softener, then let them air dry. If water no longer beads on it, a spray or wash-in water repellent product can restore the fabric's protection.
