Women's Hiking pants

At home in good weather

Most of the time it doesn’t rain — so many outdoor enthusiasts make the most of fine weather with comfortable, non-waterproof trekking trousers. Trekking trousers are especially good at letting sweat escape into the open air compared with shell garments.

Which material should I choose?

Cotton-polyester is a comfortable, durable everyday choice, wool-blend fabric is a hard-wearing traditional option, and technical fabrics offer the best stretch and breathability for active movement.

• Cotton-polyester: Sasta, Fjällräven, Pinewood and other outdoor clothing brands use a blend of cotton and polyester in many of their trekking trousers. These fabrics breathe well, dry quickly and age gracefully. You can treat them with wax, which makes the fabric excellent at keeping out wind, gives it a slight water-repellent finish, and helps it withstand wear better. Because cotton-polyester is comfortable directly against the skin in dry conditions, it’s versatile across a wide range: cotton-polyester works just as well on a cool summer evening as it does on a brisk outing in light frost, as long as you wear either a technical or merino wool base layer underneath.
• Wool-blend fabric contains plenty of wool. Sasta’s wool-blend garments are a favourite choice for many in cool and cold conditions. It’s warm, quiet, breathable, evens out temperature swings and resists odours. Quality wool-blend fabric stays looking good year after year.
• Technical fabrics are durable, and many of them stretch with your movements too. Some technical fabrics feel tolerable against the skin even when slightly damp. Haglöfs Climatic fabrics in particular are very popular, and for good reason.

A versatile choice

There are trousers for both short outings and longer hikes. Many models suit everyday wear too, so the same trousers work in the terrain and around town.

Traditional and more modern models

The range includes both classic straight cuts and body-hugging versions with a curved cut, stretch panels and articulated legs. In the women’s selection, the balance between fit and freedom of movement stands out in particular. The most traditional trekking trousers are made entirely from cotton-polyester. An updated version of this comes with stretch panels — for example the Fjällräven Keb, or the Pinewood Caribou. Even small stretch panels add a surprising amount of freedom of movement. Trousers made entirely from synthetic fibre, such as the trekking trousers in the Haglöfs Rugged series, are extremely durable and their material feels comfortable against the skin even when slightly damp.
