One pair of trousers for the whole trek

prAna Stretch Zion Pant

Stretch nylon, DWR finish, roll-up legs

4.5 on Amazon

Tough, stretchy and dry fast enough to wash in a bucket — they are not warm, so above 4,000 m you are wearing a base layer underneath.

What you get

  • Stretch enough for a high step onto a boulder
  • Dry overnight in a lodge
  • Presentable enough for Kathmandu at the end

What it costs you

  • No insulation at all
  • DWR wears off and needs re-proofing
  • Waist sizing runs large

Do not buy this if: Cold-weather trekking as your only leg layer. Add merino bottoms above 4,000 m.

The alternatives

Everything else we recommend in trousers & shorts, including the ones we think suit a different trekker.
