The right pair of trousers can make a big difference to your day in the mountains. The key is the fabric, and how heavy they are.
In terms of design, one of the key differences is whether they are convertible. This is where the trousers have removable leg-bottoms. If they do, they are clearly more versatile. On the other hand, watch out for the way they're joined together, as this can give rise to uncomfortable rubbing.
Beyond that it's a simple matter of comfort. As ever, try some on. Here's a few suggestions to get you started with links to great online stores where you can buy them.
Lowe Alpine Multi-Pitch: Using the next generation of soft-shell fabric technology, these are versatile
trousers that resist wind and rain. The result is a pant that can be worn for
extended periods in varying climatic conditions removing the necessity for a
waterproof outer layer in all but continuous or heavy rain weather. From trekking
to demanding alpine ascents, this is a tough and high performance trouser. The
Desertweave Stretch fabric is highly breathable and stretches with you when
moving.
The North Face Paramount Convertible: Enjoy complete versatility with these Convertible Pants. If you need more ventilation - simply zip off the legs to convert them to a pair of shorts.
Mountain Equipment Freestyle Combo: Tough trousers for tough days trekking and traveling. The soft-feel nylon
fabric is easy-care and robust while the sew-free seams in the inside leg help
to prevent chaffing.
