SALOMON WAYFARER TROUSERS £80

Comfortable, stretchy, nicely cut and quick drying too, these practical outdoor trousers are ideal for 3-season hiking and hillwalking, whether you’re a recent mountain convert or a seasoned summit-bagger. The nylon-elastane soft shell fabric offers decent durability, while the durable water-repellent finish will fend off light drizzle.

VERDICT With practical features and a technical fabric but understated looks, these are versatile walking trousers that don’t scream ‘hardcore mountaineer’ – ideal for use from peak to pub.
