Most winter walking trousers are only half the outfit. Long johns on first, trousers over the top, overtrousers in the bag in case it turns. Three things to put on before you have walked anywhere.
These are one thing. The warmth is already in them.
Here's how it works.
The lining is insulated, so the layer you would normally wear underneath is already built into the trousers. The outer is a woven softshell that blocks wind and resists water, which matters more than the temperature does — on an exposed hill it is the wind that takes the heat off your legs and the wet ground that keeps it off. And the knee panels are reinforced and articulated, so the one place you put all your weight when you kneel or scramble is the one place built to take it.
The fabric has stretch, so nothing pulls when you step up onto a stile or crouch to a pack. The seat panel is reinforced for sitting on wet rock. The waistband adjusts to hold its fit with a rucksack belt on, and the thigh pocket stays reachable when that belt is done up.
The gear it replaces:
Long johns under walking trousers. Warm, but it is two garments and they ride down.
Uninsulated walking trousers. Fine on the move, cold the moment you stop.
Rain overtrousers. They shed rain but are stiff, noisy and cold on their own.
Jeans or cotton. Soak through, stay wet, pull the heat off your legs.
What's in it:
Insulated lining. The base layer is already in the trousers.
Water-resistant softshell outer. Blocks wind and sheds wet ground and light showers.
Reinforced knee panels. Articulated and built for kneeling and scrambling.
Reinforced seat panel. Sit down where you are, not where it is dry.
Stretch fabric. Moves with you over a stile or crouched to a pack.
Zip pockets. Two at the hip, one on the thigh - phone and map stay in.
Adjustable waistband. Holds its fit under a rucksack belt.
Sizes M to 5XL. A full size run, not an afterthought.
