Hiking pants
Why the choice of your hiking pants is important
The environment hiking takes place in requires obvious pieces of equipment such as hiking boots or trekking poles. However, the technical quality of hiking apparel, notably walking trousers should not be neglected, to the risk of making it hard to enjoy your hike. Hiking can be an intense activity depending on the steepness, weather or season. Research in materials offering ever more performance allows nowadays to find outdoor trousers that are warm, waterproof, breathable, lightweight, abrasion resistant or even pants which can be turned into shorts. They share the common trait of offering great freedom of movement, but some are more breathable for summer, more water repellent for versatility or feature a fleece lining to be warmer. You can also find softshell hiking pants, ensuring a windproof effect and water resistance, while being insulating. Models for seasoned or leisure hikers, for every taste, use or season are available at Glisshop. Browse right now our range of hiking pants for women, men and kids.

What trousers should you wear for hiking?
When hiking, your legs are constantly in motion, so it’s essential to protect them with suitable hiking clothing. A good pair of hiking trousers serves several key purposes: they ensure your comfort, protect you from the weather and challenging environments, and even enhance your performance by preventing unnecessary discomfort. Conversely, making the wrong choice—trousers that are too stiff, made from unsuitable fabric, or with an uncomfortable fit—can lead to irritation, restricted movement, or insufficient protection against cold and rain. For example, standard cotton jeans, while durable, become very heavy when wet, dry slowly, and restrict freedom of movement. To hike with confidence and enjoy the best experience possible, it’s best to invest in trousers specifically designed for hiking.
Walking pants to enjoy your outdoor adventures
A well-chosen pair of hiking pants will allow you to fully enjoy your adventure: you’ll be able to cover miles without excessive chafing, unpleasant dampness, or worrying about the first branch in your path. They will protect you from scratches and abrasions (from brambles, rocks) and even sunburn on your legs if you’re hiking in the height of summer. Additionally, they help regulate your body temperature—by wicking away sweat or insulating you from the cold as needed—so you don’t overheat on climbs or shiver when you stop. In short, choosing the right hiking trousers means giving yourself the best chance to hike comfortably and safely.
