Waterproof Walking & Hiking Trousers
Prepare for whatever the elements throw at you on your next hike with a pair of our waterproof walking trousers. Expertly crafted from the highest quality materials with maximum comfort and protection in mind, our range of hiking trousers will keep you moving whatever the weather.
Our women's and men's walking trousers are as strong as they are durable, providing effective protection against the elements with windproof and breathable fabric. Little explorers will love our waterproof hiking trousers for kids, specially designed to help them make the most of the great outdoors.
Choosing The Right Trekking Trousers
When purchasing walking trousers, it's important to look for several properties. While it can be tempting to throw on your comfiest jeans or casual trousers, a pair of specially designed hiking trousers offers a greater level of protection. The best waterproof hiking trousers are lightweight and highly durable, with the ability to adapt to a range of adverse weather conditions. Ultimately, you should be able to move easily and comfortably.
It's sensible to view your trekking trousers as part of your layering system just as you would your jacket. When preparing for a hike, think of your underwear as the base layer, followed by your walking trousers, and complete with a pair of waterproof trousers on top if the weather is forecast for rain - if not, pack them in your backpack just in case. Whether you're climbing a Munro or taking in your local canal path, our hard-wearing walking trousers will see you through. At Trespass, you'll find a range of hiking pants in men's, women's and kids' sizes, so the whole family can enjoy the great outdoors.
Walking trousers are available in a variety of designs to suit different conditions, activity levels, and seasons. Each type offers a specific balance of protection, comfort, and freedom of movement.
- Waterproof walking trousers: Designed for wet conditions, these trousers use waterproof fabrics and sealed seams to protect against rain and damp ground.
- Lightweight walking trousers: Breathable and quick drying styles that work well for warm weather, summer walks, and travel.
- Softshell walking trousers: Wind resistant and flexible, ideal for cooler days when you need warmth without bulk.
- Convertible walking trousers: Zip off designs that convert into shorts, offering versatility during warmer hikes or changing conditions.
- Insulated walking trousers: Fleece lined or padded options that provide extra warmth for cold weather walking.
Each style supports different outdoor needs while maintaining comfort over long periods of wear.
Materials and How They Work
Walking trousers rely on technical fabrics that balance durability, weather resistance, and breathability. Each material plays a role in overall performance.
- Polyester: Lightweight, quick drying, and durable, making it suitable for regular outdoor use.
- Polyamide or nylon: Highly abrasion resistant, helping trousers withstand rough terrain and repeated wear.
- Elastane or spandex: Adds stretch for unrestricted movement when climbing, stepping, or bending.
- Cotton blends: Offer softness and comfort, usually found in more casual walking trousers.
- Waterproof membranes or coatings: Help block rain while allowing moisture vapour to escape.
- Fleece or mesh linings: Provide insulation or improve airflow depending on the design.
Together, these materials ensure walking trousers remain comfortable, practical, and reliable in varied conditions.
Well designed walking trousers include practical details that improve fit, durability, and usability outdoors.
- Adjustable waistbands for a secure and comfortable fit.
- Reinforced knee and seat panels for added durability.
- Zipped or cargo pockets to store essentials safely.
- Articulated knees to support natural movement.
- Lightweight construction to reduce fatigue during long walks.
- Stretch panels for flexibility on climbs and slopes.
These features ensure walking trousers perform well across different terrains and activities.
Matching your trousers to your activity and conditions helps improve comfort and performance.
- Everyday walking: Lightweight or stretch walking trousers offer comfort and ease for local routes.
- Hill walking and hiking: Softshell or water resistant trousers provide protection and flexibility on uneven terrain.
- Wet weather walks: Waterproof walking trousers help keep you dry during rain or muddy conditions.
- Cold conditions: Insulated or fleece lined walking trousers add warmth for winter routes.
- Travel and mixed climates: Convertible walking trousers adapt easily to temperature changes.
Choosing the right style ensures your walking trousers work with your environment, not against it.
-
How are walking trousers different from regular trousers?
- Walking trousers are made using technical fabrics that stretch, breathe, and dry quickly. They are designed to handle outdoor movement, weather changes, and rough terrain, unlike everyday trousers which focus more on appearance than performance.
-
Are walking trousers waterproof or water resistant?
- Some walking trousers are fully waterproof with sealed seams, while others are water resistant with a DWR coating. Water resistant styles handle light rain well, while waterproof options are better for prolonged wet conditions.
-
What should I look for when buying walking trousers?
- Focus on fit, flexibility, and weather protection. Features like stretch fabric, breathable construction, reinforced areas, and secure pockets all improve comfort and practicality during longer walks.
-
Can walking trousers be worn year round?
- Yes. Lightweight walking trousers work well in warmer months, while insulated or softshell designs are better for cold weather. Many styles are versatile enough to be worn across multiple seasons with layering.
