Men's Walking Trousers
Lightweight walking trousers reduce fatigue on long-distance treks and pack away small when the temperature rises. Professional-grade hiking pants use quick-dry fabrics that shed light rain and dry rapidly after a heavy downpour. Walking trousers with a water-repellent finish prevent moisture from soaking through during walks in tall, wet grass. Secure zipped pockets keep navigation tools and energy snacks safe while you focus on the path ahead. Reinforced fabric on the knees and seat helps walking trousers withstand the friction of rocky summits and campsite tasks.
Most walking trousers repel light showers, while fully waterproof overtrousers provide a total barrier against heavy rain. Hiking trousers suit every outdoor activity because the fabric resists dirt and dries much faster than casual cotton pants.

Men's walking trousers should sit comfortably at the waist and provide enough room in the seat and thighs to prevent chafing on long treks.
The hem of your hiking trousers should sit just above the sole of your walking boot to avoid tripping or dragging in the mud.
Convertible walking trousers feature zips at the thighs that allow you to turn the trousers into shorts when the weather warms up.
You should wash technical walking trousers with a specialist outdoor cleaner to maintain the water-repellent coating and fabric breathability.
In colder weather, thermal base layers or leggings can be worn under walking trousers for added warmth. In milder conditions, regular underwear is sufficient.
Reinforced knees use tougher fabric to prevent tears when you kneel on rocky ground or push through thick gorse and heather.

Some walking trousers are treated with an insect-repellent finish, like Craghoppers' NosiLife, which can help protect you from biting insects. This is a useful feature for walking in certain areas, particularly in the spring and summer.
Many people wear walking trousers for dog walking, gardening, and travel because the fabric is tough, resists dirt, and dries fast.
