Men's walking pants
Pants are an essential piece of gear for hiking. They need to tick a lot of boxes: sun protection, shielding from obstacles, wind resistance, and for some models, even rain protection. That’s why at Glisshop, our expert has handpicked a wide range of men’s hiking pants tailored for every adventure—from easy plains walks to high mountain routes, from half-day outings to multi-day Nepalese treks.

Lightweight men's pants designed for summer trekking
For summer treks, lightweight and breathable gear is a must. Technical fabrics like nylon or polyester are ideal. They wick away sweat efficiently and dry quickly, ensuring optimal comfort even during intense efforts. Plus, durable water repellent (DWR) treatments keep you protected from light showers. Ultra-light, these summer pants are so comfortable you'll forget you're even wearing them on the trail.
Warm and waterproof models for winter trekking
In winter, your pants need to shield you from cold, snow, and rain. Insulated models with a waterproof and breathable membrane (Gore-Tex, Polartec® NeoShell®...) are essential. Go for looser fits so you can layer technical underwear underneath, such as merino tights. Integrated or removable gaiters are a bonus to keep snow out of your boots.
Which pants for hiking in the mountains?
The choice of pants depends on several factors:
- Altitude: In high mountains, temperatures can change quickly. Choose convertible waterproof pants with ventilation zips to regulate your body temperature.
- Terrain type: For rugged terrain, opt for pants reinforced at the knees and seat, made from stretch fabric for greater freedom of movement.
- Activity: If you're into mountaineering, technical pants with Kevlar reinforcements on the inner cuffs are best to guard against stray crampon strikes.
Shorts, technical pants or 3/4 pants?
The choice between shorts, technical pants, or 3/4 pants depends on your personal preferences and the weather conditions.
- Shorts: Perfect for hot days, they offer excellent ventilation. However, they don't protect against brush and are not suited to cooler conditions. Watch out for sunburn too!
- Technical pants: Versatile, they adapt to all seasons thanks to their various features (lightweight, warm, waterproof). They provide solid protection from the elements.
- 3/4 pants: A middle ground between shorts and pants, they offer good leg protection while still allowing for ventilation. Just be mindful of brambles and nettles around your calves.
The choice of material is crucial for comfort and performance in hiking pants.
- Cotton: While breathable, cotton tends to absorb moisture and dries slowly. It's not ideal for intense physical activity.
- Synthetic fibers (nylon, polyester): These fibers are lightweight, durable, dry quickly, and wick sweat well. They're often treated for water repellency.
- Fiber blends: Some pants combine the benefits of natural and synthetic fibers for optimal comfort.
The fit of your hiking pants greatly affects comfort and freedom of movement.
- Straight fit: Classic and versatile, it suits all body types.
- Slim fit: Offers better freedom of movement and reduces chafing.
- Loose fit: Ideal for layering in winter or for activities that require lots of storage.
Some men's hiking pants come with extra features that can be super useful:
- Articulated knees: For greater freedom of movement.
- Kevlar reinforcements: For better abrasion resistance at the knees and inner ankles.
- Multiple pockets: To stash all your essentials (maps, phone, etc.).
- Ventilation zips: These side zip openings help regulate your body temperature.
To extend the lifespan of your hiking pants, follow these tips:
- Wash regularly: Use a special detergent for technical clothing, available in our technical garment care section.
- Avoid tumble drying: Air dry your pants whenever possible.
- Don't iron treated areas: This could damage the fabric's water-repellent properties.
