Whilst a high quality insulated mid layer or jacket will take your expedition wardrobe to the next level, performance is also built on a reliable pair of trousers. Trousers you can trust to push and pull you through whatever terrain lies in your path.

Check out our guide below for an introduction:
COMMAND TROUSERS
VERSATILITY
The Command Trousers are the lightweight, rip-stop remedy for everyday endeavours - a flexible addition to any expedition armoury. Suitable for hiking, scrambling and day to day wear, the Command are an understated pair of durable, comfortable trousers (and shorts).
Featuring hook and loop cuffs for adjustability and stretch fabric pockets for stowage of essentials, the Command Trousers have been designed to help you easily navigate demands from the city to the summit.
SYLVAN TROUSERS
DURABILITY
The HeriTech Sylvan Trousers are a rugged outerwear staple cut from a rigid rip-stop, reinforced with spray resistant TekWax® panelling from British Millerain.
In a simple, cargo style design, the Sylvan Trousers follow a tapered fit with adjustable hook and loop cuffs to taper further as desired. Two large cargo style pockets provide additional storage above and beyond two hand pockets on the hips.
Strike Pants
AGILITY
Remember when “flex” was about material performance and not showing off?
Yeah well, the Strike Pants are designed to do both… they’re flexible and durable all-round pants and they’re sourced from one of the finest factories in Italy.
Flexion and function combine with a four-way stretch fabric incorporating innovative Ecorepel® and Dryskin® technology which help repel water and provide hard wearing, wind resistant, breathable, fast drying superiority.
Built with friendly forces as well as repellent resources - all pocket flaps and zips are carefully magnetised to keep things together and minimise flapping or fuss when opening and closing.
They’re the ultimate-streamlined-stretch pants for hiking, mountaineering and day to day wear. Sadly, they’re also our worst kept secret so make sure you’re the first to get them or suffer from envy when your friends beat you to it.
Charge Trousers
Utility
A pair of Charge Trousers should be the first thing on everyone’s outdoor wish lists. Scuffed and scraped through desert sands, dragged through jungles and hauled up mountains. They’re exceptional every-pants for the exceptional everyman (or woman) and are designed to be taken everywhere you go.
Constructed for comfort, capability and capacity with a blend of breathable stretch fabric, stronger than steel reinforcements and large capacity, cargo-style pockets.
Available in a host of colours including Obsidian Black, Olive Green, and Wolf Grey (men's only).
They’re a staple amongst the team here at HQ but you’ll also see them worn by the likes of Jason Fox and Victoria Pendleton. Sounds like a lot right? You can’t say you don’t get what you pay for.
AIGIS TROUSERS
WATERPROOFING
Introducing Aigis Waterproof Trousers, constructed using an innovative eVent membrane. A 20,000HH and 20,000gsm2 membrane makes for a highly waterproof and highly breathable pair of trousers, ideal for dynamic activities in wet and cold climates.
Another unique benefit of eVent fabric is its mastery of Direct Venting™ technology – the work of billions of microscopic pores built into its membrane. This proprietary design allows instant venting of sweat from the inside of the trousers as you move and unlike conventional waterproof fabrics, it doesn’t need to get wet to work.
eVent’s Direct Venting™ technology is a dry system and will keep you well ventilated and comfortable across a wider range of environmental conditions than ordinary waterproofs. As a result, the Aigis Trousers make for some of the most dependable and versatile mountaineering trousers around.
Oryon Carbon Trousers
Breathability
You'd be forgiven for thinking that trousers built from "Super Biflex Chrono-Carbon Rip-Stop" would be far too over the top for arid environments. In practice, the adverse is true.
This lightweight, flexible rip-stop fabric imbued with a nano-carbon filament allows for enhanced dynamic gating of infrared radiation. Not sure what that means? The science is actually quite simple - bear with us.
As you sweat, the yarns in this fabric contract, allowing more of the infrared radiation emitted by the body to escape - cooling you down. When cool and dry, such as at night, the opposite process occurs, trapping infrared radiation and mitigating the loss of body heat.
Fortunately, mechanical ventilation is much easier to understand. The Carbon Trousers feature 8 (yes 8!) different mesh vent panels that can be zipped and adjusted as you require.
RŌNIN KATANA OR YUMI
Alpinism
These Samurai inspired sets are forged with eVent DVAlpine fabric – a tough, waterproof and windproof membrane designed to be strong enough to match alpine conditions and breathable enough to sustain periods of high activity.
Featuring a host of pockets for the full range of expedition essentials from gloves and hats to lift passes. Including inbuilt innovation with leading Recco rescue technology that will have your back if and when you need it most.
Whether you’re on the slopes, off-piste or in the mountains, climb with confidence and look sharp as you do.

"Flexibility means having a fundamental ability to relate to any new environment and excel in it. Instead of fighting it, you greet it with open arms and observe it; instead of criticising it, you caress it and understand it; instead of ignoring it, you make it yours and be one with it."
