The next tour is calling: Comfortable hiking pants for men

Put them on and go: Men’s hiking pants are part of the basic equipment for hiking fans and everyone who loves being active outdoors. They protect against capricious weather and radiation from the sun, and move right along with you. Our environmentally friendly VAUDE men’s hiking pants will accompany you on every hike – be it a long walk or a trekking tour that exposes you to the elements.

Turn long into short: zip off hiking pants for men

Before you purchase hiking pants, you might ask yourself if you need long hiking pants or hiking shorts. Or would zip off hiking pants do? When you are hiking in the summer and the temperature is warm, airy hiking shorts for men are all you need. On the peak, however, the temperatures are still moderate – if you are not on an Alpine hike. In the winter and during transition periods, on the contrary, it pays to wear long men’s hiking pants. When the temperature is particularly low, you benefit from long, lined winter hiking pants that keep your legs warm and dry as you hike through wind and snow.

The popular zip off hiking pants for men are the best of both worlds. Thanks to the zipper, you can remove the pant legs in a wink. Many of our hiking pants are equipped with a T-zip, which allows you to leave your hiking boots on while unzipping the legs. Above all, zip off hiking pants for men make sense when the weather is variable or you enjoy going on longer tours. Outdoor pants with a combination of short and long legs will help you pack more compactly and stay flexible regardless of the weather.

Robust men’s hiking pants for any activity

The lightweight material of our hiking pants and hiking shorts for men is produced with environmentally friendly processes and moves along with you. Thanks to the high stretch content and specially shaped knees, the sections of your hike that require climbing are no problem. At the same time, the material of our hiking pants for men is robust and abrasion-resistant – the perfect companion for any adventure in nature.

An adjustable waistband provides additional comfort and prevents the pants from sliding down. In the pockets of your men’s hiking pants, there is room for an energy bar, a smartphone or a multi-tool.

Breathable, waterproof hiking pants for men

If you hike a lot, you know that it rains sometimes, and waterproof pants are good to have. Be it a drizzle in the Allgäu region of Germany or a downpour in Scotland – dry legs are worth their weight in gold on a hike. At the same time, good hiking pants for men must be breathable. Even on high-altitude trails, you don’t break into a sweat easily in hiking pants made from a breathable material.

Men’s hiking pants from environmentally friendly production

For our hiking pants for men, we rely on environmentally friendly, sustainable materials. Recycled materials are used in their production: from used tires by applying a mass balance approach or castor oil-based polyamide, for example. Recycled or bio-based materials are sustainable alternatives that protect our planet. Find out more about sustainable materials. We also consider the environment when it comes to rain protection: thanks to Ecofinish, our hiking pants are waterproof – and completely without any PFC.
