It can be hard to choose men’s hiking trousers as there are so many to choose from. There are many smart and functional features available to support you during your hike. To protect your knees during tougher hikes and climbs, trousers fitted with pockets for knee pads is a good choice.  Boot hooks are also an awesome feature to hold the leg opening to your boots thus preventing the trousers from going up. If you often get warm during a hike we recommend trousers with ventilation zippers at the side of the trousers allowing for better airflow. All our hiking trousers are made from durable materials, and some are equipped with Hypershell® Reinforced™ which is a water repellent material that keeps you dry during light rain. If you want to protect your trousers a little extra, we recommend that you treat them with fluorocarbon free waterproofing spray or RevolutionRace Heat Wax.
