Trousers for bouldering, climbing and mountaineering

Chillkoot softshell trousers

Softshell trousers for climbingSoftshell trousers provide flexibility and durability for scrambling.

Chillkoot trousers are our lightweight softshell walking trousers, suitable for year-round use. 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.

Chilkoot is available in mens and womens sizes.

Ardent high performance mountaineering trousers

Our performance softshell trousers for winter walking, scrambling and mountaineering. Tough, stretchy and highly wind resistant with reinforced panels. The Ardent trousers come into their own for winter walking, climbing and alpinism, with considered features and a tough, warm and comfortable softshell fabric.

Ardent isavailable in mens and womens sizes.

Bloc

The Bloc shorts and trousers are soft, stretchy and made from organic cotton. Forget-they’re-there freedom for climbing. 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.

Durable. Comfortable. Wear anywhere. Canvas climbing trousers and shorts with technical features for walking, climbing and outdoor living. 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

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. 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.

Escapade

Leggings? Trousers? Treggings? The Escapade are our women’s specific, slim fit softshell trousers. They feel like leggings but are as tough as trousers. 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.

Hauler short

Technical cargo shorts with special superpowers. They're high-wicking, quick-drying, odour-resistant and temperature regulating. Like cotton, but better. Tough, technical, faster drying and better moisture management.

Faro

Stretchy, semi-slim softshell shorts (quite the tongue-twister!) designed for multi-activity use. 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.
