Choosing the Best Ladies' Hiking Pants

Finding the ideal pair of ladies hiking pants depends on the conditions and the activity. For bushwalking in cold weather, look for insulated softshell pants and women’s thermal leggings that offer warmth and weather resistance. In warmer conditions, lightweight hiking trousers made from quick-drying fabrics are a perfect choice. Our range includes durable softshell pants, versatile convertible trousers that can zip off into shorts, and comfortable stretch pants for maximum comfort on long hikes.

How are softshell pants different to waterproof pants?

Softshell pants are designed to keep us warm in cold climates and protect from wind chill. Waterproof pants also cut out the windchill with their outer fabric, although they do not offer warmth without another layer underneath. Softshell pants have an inner lining of woven fabric, designed to capture body heat and keep us warm, while the outer fabric allows stretch and breathability, it is also treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating to promote water beading off the softshell pants.

Contact our friendly staff if you need help deciding which hiking pants are right for you.
