Teleki
What are they?
The Teleki is our range of lightweight legwear for walking. They pack down small for stuffing in rucksacks on multi-day hikes. They’re available as trousers and shorts. And if you can’t decide between the two, the zip-off trousers are the best of both worlds for indecisive hikers in in-between weather.
What makes them special?
The Teleki are designed for warm weather walking and backpacking. They’re lightweight, packable and tailored for freedom of movement.
Arnison
What are they?
The Arnison are tough. They’re hardwearing, highly wind-resistant hiking trousers for year-round hiking.
What makes them special?
They’re designed for full freedom of movement, with inbuilt stretch, a diamond-shape gusseted crotch and articulated knees for striding, scrambling and clambering. And they’re treated with a PFC-free DWR to withstand light showers.
Mountain Softshell
Chillkoot
What are they?
The Chillkoot trousers are our lightweight softshell walking trousers, suitable for year-round use.
What makes them special?
The lightweight Chillkoots are highly wind resistant and they have a PFC-free DWR. But the lightweight, double weave construction is moisture-wicking, preventing a serious case of overheating in the summer.
Escapade
What are they?
Leggings? Trousers? Treggings? The Escapade are our women’s specific, slim fit softshell trousers. They feel like leggings but are as tough as trousers.
What makes them special?
More durable than leggings, more mobile than trousers. They’re the best of both worlds. You have the freedom of movement of leggings, with the weather resistance, durability and pockets(!) of trousers.
Skarven
What are they?
The Skarven are rugged outdoor trousers. They're tough for off-track, off-path scrambling, hiking and heather bashing.
What makes them special?
They're tough as nails - our hardest wearing trouser for outdoor use and abuse. The Skarven are made from a quick-drying canvas fabric that dries quicker than cotton equivalents - perfect for passing showers.

What are they?
The Bloc shorts and trousers are soft, stretchy and made from organic cotton. Forget-they’re-there freedom for climbing – or just working in the office, if you’re Alpkit Photographer Joe.
What makes them special?
The Bloc are tough. But they’re tailored for movement, with stretch, a gusseted crotch and a low-profile elastic waistband that fits neatly under harnesses.
Kraft and Werk
What are they?
Durable. Comfortable. Wear anywhere. Canvas climbing trousers and shorts with technical features for walking, climbing and outdoor living.
What makes them special?
Designed for outdoor living, the Kraft trousers and Werk shorts are made with a stretchy fabric that’s soft to wear but tough against boulder-induced abrasion.
Sequence and Jeanius
What are they?
The Sequence and Jeanius look like jeans. But unlike most jeans, they’re made with a Cordura blend fabric that’s tough, stretchy, moisture-wicking and temperature regulating. The Sequence are regular fit and the Jeanius are our slim fit option.
What makes them special?
From bouldering to beers, the Sequence go from casual to the climbing wall without a hitch. They’re secretly technical jeans that are more stretchy, tough, quick-drying and hard-wearing than high-street jeans.

What are they?

What are they?
Stretchy, semi-slim softshell shorts (quite the tongue-twister!) designed for multi-activity use.
What makes them special?
The Faro shorts are just as suited to climbing as they are to biking and hiking. They have a high UPF fabric for warm days, while still being moisture wicking.

What makes them special?

What are they good for?
They’re all moisture-wicking, breathable and treated with Polygiene™ odour resistant technology. A Koulin for every season – even those awkward in-between ones.
Mello

Active shorts and tights designed for women. For climbing, hiking and running.
What are they good for?
The Mello have 4-way stretch and are made from a hard-wearing, yet sweat-wicking material ready for warm weather bouldering.

Parallax
What are they?
The Parallax are our lightweight, breathable waterproof trousers made with a 2.5 layer construction.
What are they good for?
They’re comfortable, stretchy and active with an articulated fit. They’re quiet when you walk and they pack away in your rucksack – weighing about the same as your average sandwich.
