Choose according to the type of journey.

1. Suburban and mountainous areas.

Generally speaking, hiking in the suburbs is usually a simple route with a one-day round trip. Therefore, in the selection of hiking pants, choose light, thin, convenient and flexible materials. For example, tight-fitting sports pants, functional tight-fitting compression pants, sweat-wicking shorts.

2. Humid and rainy mid-mountain side.

In the mid-levels, the climate is wet and rainy. In addition to carrying rain pants or wearing hiking pants on the outer layer to be waterproof, hiking pants should also be made of breathable and moisture-resistant materials so that the skin is not stuffy. For example, moisture-wicking pants and functional tight-fitting compression pants.

3. Non-winter mountaineering.

Spring, summer and autumn, you can choose warm and wearable mountaineering pants, people who are afraid of cold can wear warm pants on the lower layer.

4. Difficult and complex routes.

For difficult and complicated climbing routes with complex terrain, such as exploration routes and other non-popular climbing routes, you should choose durable, sturdy and high-strength mountaineering hiking pants to better protect your legs.

5. Snow season mountaineering.

Due to the extremely low temperatures during the snow season, the warmth of mountaineering pants is the most important consideration, such as snow pants.

No matter which type of hiking pants you choose, be sure to bring rain pants, or long pants with perfect waterproof effect when hiking.

Can I wear shorts for hiking?

Hiking in shorts is not recommended because it is easy to get scratched by plants or bitten by mosquitoes. The low temperature environment on the mountain also does not support wearing shorts. Wearing long pants will protect your skin.

The truth is that no one pair of long pants can meet every need of every person. Whether it's the weather or the terrain, the temperature or the intensity of the trip, the right hiking clothes are not the same.
