Hiking trousers or walking trousers: what’s the difference?

Both terms refer to the same type of garment. For Nordic walking, where the pace picks up, the BERGEN PANT has a windproof, water-repellent front and a back that stretches in every direction.

Are shorts a better choice in summer?

Trousers protect your legs from scrub and sun. If it gets too hot by midday, a 2-in-1 style like the ARCALOD converts into shorts without you having to pull another garment from your pack.

How do I care for water-repellent hiking trousers?

Wash them without fabric conditioner, which can clog the treatment. When water no longer beads on the surface, restore the water repellency with a suitable product from our waterproofing and care products.

What size men’s hiking trousers should I choose?

Choose your usual size for most models. The KATMANDOU, BERGEN PANT and STORM PRO PANT run slightly large: if you’re between sizes, size down. The CARLIT and PITON run small: size up. If you’re under 1.72 m, choose a COURT version, made with a shorter leg length.

Which men’s hiking trousers should I choose for a multi-day trek?

Choose a pair that dries between stages and has pockets that fasten securely: the KATMANDOU (360 g) has eight pockets, including two concealed ones, and legs that detach at the sides; the water-repellent ARCALOD (350 g) converts into shorts by unzipping the legs.
