Trekking trousers

Trekking trousers are cut for walking, with freedom of movement at the knee and hip. Fabrics range from light stretch-woven cloth for warm weather and scrambling to heavier, waxed or reinforced fabrics for brush and wet conditions. Zip-off legs turn them into shorts when temperatures change. Check that pockets stay usable with a hip belt fastened, and that the leg length and cuffs sit well over your boots.
