Outdoor trousers either hold up to a proper day out or start giving at the seams by the second trip. These are built for the first kind of day.

The details that make it work

Hard-wearing cotton gives them a sturdy, breathable feel that stays comfortable over a long walk. Reinforced seams and extra panels at the knee take the strain where hiking trousers usually wear through first. Multiple roomy cargo pockets, including zip pockets on the thighs, keep your phone, keys and map secure without the need for a bag. Belt loops and a D-ring at the waist let you clip on keys or kit. The active cut leaves room to climb, crouch and stride without pulling at the knee or seat.

Where it fits in

With a tee and hiking boots for a day on the trails, or with a fleece and trainers for a muddy dog walk, a camping weekend or a day of work in the garden.
