Black Friday hiking trousers and shorts
Climbing a high step, squatting to tie your laces, crossing a low wall: hiking trousers need to accommodate all movements. This page brings together hiking trousers and shorts on sale during Black Friday, for all seasons and all terrains.
Trousers or shorts, depending on the season
Shorts are great for hot weather and clear trails. Trousers protect against thorns, insects, and the cold, and zip-off models turn into shorts when the sun comes out. For mountain hiking in transitional seasons, trousers are the safest choice.
What matters
A stretchy fabric allows for free movement, quick-drying material avoids walking around wet after a shower, and zippered pockets keep your phone and keys secure. An adjustable waistband and reinforcement at the knees or bottom enhance the garment's durability.
Trousers brands
The filter shows adidas, Columbia, Dare 2B, Helly Hansen and La Sportiva. You can find sporty cuts, some more versatile, and mountain models, allowing you to compare different styles on one page.
Match with the rest of the outfit
On top, t-shirts and tops keep the skin dry, while jackets and windbreakers protect against the wind. On your feet, hiking shoes complete the look.
Other operations to consider
The hiking clearance sale and hiking sales add trousers and shorts from end-of-line stock.
A garment that works all day
Hiking trousers withstand climbs, rubbing against rocks, and passing through underbrush. A tough fabric and reinforced seams give them a longer life. Some models add an integrated belt or knee pads.
Pockets, a key feature
A zippered pocket on the thigh keeps your phone safe, while deep side pockets hold gloves and a hat. Make sure they don't interfere with a backpack waistband, especially on long hikes.
Preferred fabrics
Stretchy synthetic fabrics dry quickly and resist abrasion. Some trousers are water-repellent and handle light rain well. Others add sun protection to prevent sunburn on legs during sunny days.
Adjusting length and fit
A pair of trousers that stops at the ankle avoids snagging on shoes. An adjustable hem or zippered leg ends lets you adapt to the terrain. For mountain hiking, a fitted but not tight cut minimizes flapping and snagging on rocks.
To complete the outfit, check out jackets and windbreakers.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find affordable hiking trousers?
On this page, which features discounted trousers and shorts. The hiking clearance sale adds to the selection.
Do I need water-repellent trousers?
They help in damp weather and on wet grass, but they don't replace a rain jacket for the upper body.
What size should I choose for comfort while walking?
A size that allows for lifting the knee high without straining the waistband. Try them on with shoes to check the length.
Shorts or zip-off trousers?
Zip-off trousers are useful when the temperature fluctuates throughout the day. Pure shorts remain lighter and simpler.
What socks to wear with shorts?
Mid-height hiking socks protect the lower legs from tall grass.
