We’ve a wide selection of suitable walking trousers for both men and women, below are a couple of highlights.

The best waterproof over trousers

As we mentioned earlier, you will likely need an additional pair of trousers to go over your walking trousers to keep you dry during very wet spells. We recommend a lightweight pair that will easily fold away into a rucksack. We tend to opt for waterproof trousers with adjustable ankles to ensure they will fit over footwear and keep the rain drops away, whether it’s a boots or shoes kind of walk. An elasticated waist is always a bonus for a comfortable fit all year round with varying layers and thickness of clothing.
