Breathable, pre-shaped knees and soft fabric where it needs to be. I was afraid the trousers would feel tough before being broken in but this wasn’t the case. Features To test their products, I decided to prepare a 20km hike through the forest and dunes of the Waterleidingduinen, on the Netherlands’ western coast. The hike presented a mix of dirt and sandy paths as well as cross-country hiking through the woods. Highly versatile hiking pants with strategically placed stretch panels and added ventilation zippers for optimal comfort and flexibility. At the waist are belt loops, but you’ll obviously need your own belt to tighten things up. The bottom of the leg is adjustable with poppers and there’s even a boot hook to attach the trousers to your laces.

Nordwand Pro Trousers Women Jetblack | RevolutionRace Nordwand Pro Trousers Women Jetblack | RevolutionRace

Based in Sweden, the RevolutionRace was established in 1994 by 2 outdoor enthusiasts, Pernilla and Niclas Nyrensten. Their objective: to produce outdoor garments to the highest standards, with high quality material, but also to keep things fun, well-fitting and, most importantly for a lot of us, affordable. The brand RevolutionRace Although weatherproof to a point, these walking trousers are water repellent rather than waterproof, so hikers heading out into driech conditions would need to add a waterproof layer over the top. Likewise, anyone eyeing up the hills and mountains in winter would benefit from trousers offering more insulation. However, for general outdoor use, there are few trousers that are as comfy and user-friendly as the GP Pros. Features These trousers (as most trousers from RevolutionRace) are available in 16 colours! I love this as it allows you to be very creative with your colour choices. Summary of my experience A shorter version of the bestselling, highly versatile hiking trousers ‒ with smart stretch panels for comfort and flexibility.
