Walking trousers

32 replies

Can anybody recommend good women's walking trousers please? Particularly ones with a decent range of leg length, or that would be simple to take up. I have 28" inside leg so regular are too long and short are too short. Nothing ever fits 😔
Maybe I need to look at men's for varying leg lengths muses.
Grateful for any suggestions!

I am 5ft 2 and understand what you mean by nothing fits. Ever. The waist is wrong, the leg length is wrong, too tight, too baggy..... I now only wear hiking leggings. I have a great pair by Mammut (years old now). I would look for a decent, tough fabric, lots of pockets and good quality. Maybe have a look at what Cotswold Outdoor have.

I gave up and switched to leggings/ thermal leggings. I couldn't find the holy grail of high waist, cut for a pear where there's enough give in the thighs and bum to actually walk/ climb without being humungous on the waist which you don't want to hoik up with belts when there's a rucksack belt around you too. And short although that is more adjustable than the other issues.

The disadvantage of leggings is if you're in an area with stinging nettles where a trouser is more protective.

No stinging nettles get through mine! They must be hardcore!

I like Arctryx (sp)? I have a couple of pairs they are walking trousers and they are so comfortable and flexible. I could do the splits in them!
