Practical trousers with enough pockets!

[ErrolTheDragon]

Apologies in advance that what I’m seeking is unlikely to be remotely stylish or beautiful.😂

I want to find some robust summer-weight trousers which have a big enough cargo pocket plus other zipped ones to securely carry phone, keys and card case with me when I’m doing outdoorsy things (eg conservation volunteering) and don’t want to be encumbered by a bag. I have some winter weight walking trousers that fit the bill but they’re too warm now. I’ve looked in the outdoors shops near here and drew a blank - the few which have cargo pockets aren’t big enough for an iPhone 17 which is the smallest Apple make at the moment (I recently had to replace my old SE which was a much more convenient size.)

If I was a different shape I’d be looking at the men’s section but I’m 5’1” and a pear shaped size 12 - my other requirement is short length (but not cropped).

Has anyone come across something that might suit please?

Craghoppers?
Although their cargo pockets aren't as big as they used to be, they'd probably be big enough.

None of the craghoppers I could see in the Go Outdoors had cargo pockets - I should check online.

I have these which might fit the bill. Good for all but the warmest days. However, it looks like they're mostly sold out but you might find them on Vinted?

Not stylish or beautiful put practical and not as hideous as some out there.

They definitely do (did) them, because I've got a few pairs...

What about these? And as an added bonus they're currently half price (£35)

Acai have these that might fit the brief.

I opened this thread specifically to recommend the Acai cargos.

I have these;

Very comfy and with a great many pockets. Lightweight and mostly cotton - they are cuffed, but might be too long. Anyway, they are an option to try on if nothing else

Ah, they look good. Hard to be sure from the photos but the pocket looks like it should be big enough.

The Acai ones look good too but I’ve never had any. I think some of the outdoors shops in Manchester stock that brand so I should probably go there to see what the fit is like even if they don’t have that style.

Thanks all, you’ve given me hope!
