Women's outdoor trousers: walking trousers and leggings

The womens outdoor trousers in the section keep up with all the paces: trousers Gramicci with an integrated belt, loose and tapered or straight, in canvas or Ridge corduroy, Aigle water-repellent trousers, in corduroy or merino wool, Elliker Thrin trousers, and leggings Circle Sportswear or Aigle UV-resistant for exercise.

A pair of trousers that moves with you

Whether hiking, climbing, or strolling, the trousers work with every step: they need to allow the knee to bend, resist abrasion, and dry quickly after a downpour. A classic pair of jeans does not do this well.

The range offers trousers designed for movement, which can also be worn in the city.

Gramicci, the climbing trousers

Born in the climbing world in California, Gramicci has introduced two signature features: an integrated adjustable belt that avoids using a bulky belt, and a gusseted crotch that allows for freedom of leg movement.

These details have made their trousers classics, both in the mountains and in the city.

The Gramicci cuts

The loose, tapered cut is wider at the top and narrow at the ankle, making it suitable for wearing with sneakers or approach shoes. The straight cut, which is more classic, falls over the shoe. The Gadget features practical pockets.

The Ridge corduroy

The Ridge in corduroy provides warmth and a soft texture for autumn and winter, with the same technical details.

The Aigle trousers

The Aigle brand offers a water-repellent trouser that allows drizzle and drops to slide off, a corduroy trouser for the countryside, and a merino wool trouser that is warm and breathable for winter outings.

The Elliker Thrin trousers

Elliker, a brand from Yorkshire, has created the Thrin, a simple and sturdy trouser for walking and everyday wear.

The leggings

For running or fast walking, leggings fit the body without hindrance. The Keep The Flow by Circle Sportswear, a French running brand, come in solid colours or stripes. Aigle offers UV-protection leggings in fast-drying fabric, and a merino legging for cold weather.

Which trousers for which activity?

Hiking: water-repellent trousers or Gramicci in canvas.
Climbing and bouldering: Gramicci, for its belt and gusset.
Running: technical leggings.
Winter: merino trousers or leggings, Ridge corduroy.
City: loose or straight Gramicci, corduroy trousers.

The integrated belt, true comfort

An integrated belt adjusts in seconds, without loops or hard buckles under a harness or backpack strap. You loosen it for a picnic and tighten it up when you set off again.

Merino for winter

Merino wool keeps warmth even when it is damp and reduces odours. A merino trouser or legging is suitable for mountain outings, ski touring, or walks in freezing weather.

The travel trouser

While travelling, a lightweight outdoor trouser replaces a heavy jean that takes long to dry. It can be washed in a sink in the evening and worn again the next day. The pockets of the Gadget keep your passport and phone handy during visits.

Corduroy for the countryside

For a weekend in the countryside or a walk in the forest in autumn, a corduroy trouser from Aigle or Gramicci keeps you warm and withstands brambles. It pairs well with a check shirt and a pair of ankle boots.

UV protection

At altitude or by the sea, your legs can also get sunburned. UV-protection leggings shield the skin during long summer outings without the need to reapply cream every hour.

Wearing outdoor trousers in the city

A loose beige Gramicci in canvas, a white t-shirt, and sneakers: the mountain style has made its way into the streets. It offers comfort that jeans do not, especially when cycling or for a long day of walking in the city.

Choosing your size

Outdoor trousers should allow the knee to lift high without pulling at the waist. With an integrated belt, you can choose your usual size and adjust it later. For leggings, follow the sizing guide; they should fit snugly without being restrictive.

Caring for your trousers

Wash canvas and corduroy at 30 degrees, inside out. Merino can be washed cold with a gentle detergent, and then dried flat. Avoid using fabric softener on water-repellent trousers, as it reduces their ability to repel water.
