Pioneer Camp Women's Ripstop Cargo Trousers, black

The thigh pockets sit flat against the leg and close with discreet zips, a small detail that keeps bulk out of the hip line while giving a place for a map or snacks. A narrow elastic waistband follows the waist without pinching and the ripstop weave stretches with your steps, so movement does not feel forced.

Wear them for a long day on uneven tracks, then pack them for a ferry crossing or a damp campsite morning. The quick-dry finish sends off drizzle and the water-resistant cloth will shrug at light showers. They work for a coastal walk as easily as a town errand when you prefer a trouser that moves with you.

One of 81 on the trousers and shorts rail in the Pioneer Camp selection. It also answers to hiking trousers. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
