Men's Kiwi Classic Trs Hiking Pants

Generally pleased with these. There are plenty of pockets and in particular the 2 zip up side pockets are good for keys and wallet. The leg pocket is good for a mobile phone. I've worn these recently when walking on a badly maintained pathway waist deep in nettles. Apart from a few stings they protected me well. For walking I've found them to be very good, although in winter you would need over trousers to keep the cold and wet out. You could wear them as smart casual trousers, apart from them being a bit baggy and having a leg pocket. However, I now wear these instead of jeans because of the additional pockets catering for the basic stuff I always carry (and at the moment a man bag is a step too far).

I wanted a pair of walking trousers for surprise surprise walking in. As these were a bargain (just under £15) and from a brand I was familiar with I thought I’d give them a go. I like them, comfy, practical and good value. At first I thought the pockets were too small for keys, then realised that behind the front pockets are zipped pockets which is great to store wallet, keys etc in. Only one leg pocket, would have liked one either side, but really pleased that inside the leg pocket is an elasticated pocket that holds your phone brilliantly! The only negative for me is the leg length, they are a little long because I’m longer that the regular, but less than the long leg length. It’s no major problem as I can them taken up 1 inch and they’ll be perfect. Would ha e been 5 stars if the had a leg pocket on each side. Would have given 4.5 stars if it’d been possible.

I have bought and worn these trousers for several years. I am not a fan of jeans preferring a comfort fit particularly around the crotch area.Always a nicer cut then others I have tried on in camping shops etcVery good for travelling light + quick drying.Bought a slightly larger size this time due to middle age waist spread. Luckily not too much bigger around the legs.

5/5 really good walking trousersThis is the second pair of trousers I have purchased. Worth every penny. I'm a fulltime dog walker so I'm looking for durable clothing. The first pair I've owned lasted 3 years (I walk between 14-31km a day).The first signs of wear, were slight discoloring in the material, then a rip to the cargo pocket (from an eager dog). I did get some small tears in the material from thorns, no doubt. But they remained small, similar to what you'd expect from ripstop (they aren't btw). Whilst I wouldn't consider them water resistant/repelant as labelled, they do dry really fast; with your own body heat.Reinforced heel cuff (bottom hem, rear), is brilliant. Functional belt, that does periodically move around a bit. Cargo pocket split into 3 sections. Mobile phone holder, main pocket and side pocket. Using the mobile phone pocket does pull down on your trouser leg, but i generally use it for doggy bags. The side pocket is good for documents, maps etc. Main pocket is practical for everything else.The waist pocket is divided into two. I found the zipper on the waist pocket and the rear bum pocket a little temperamental. But the new trouser zipper equivalents seem to flow smoother. The rear pockets I never use, so I have little issue with them, they still work fine.My only fault i could find with these is in regards to the short leg (I take a 36s). The reinforced doubled material on the knee section of these trousers sits low. I find my knee is actual rubbing on the seam of the stitching. But the material is soft and it doesn't bother me at all when walking.Comfort wise, I like them. Nice soft, light material, that doesn't scratch and does dry fast after a rain shower. Functional. Nice coloring, though I would love a woodland brown.5/5

These are definitely a step up from my old Regattas. They're a very comfortable fit and there's plenty of room in the thigh and calf areas. The fabric is pleasant to the touch.Plenty of useful pockets: two zipped hip pockets, one each side; ordinary pockets, too, at the hip, deeper on one side than the other; and a deep one on the right thigh (which also has a zipped bit).
