Pioneer Camp Women's Zip-Pocket Trousers, light khaki

These trousers sit light without feeling flimsy. The cloth has a soft give when you bend and a low creak as you move. The band settles on the waist with an adjustable feel and the hem can be tightened for a closer fit. Pockets close with zips that run smooth and sit flat when you walk, not clingy.

Wear them with a bamboo viscose tee for a warm day or a thin fleece on cooler mornings. A rain shell packs down small in a daypack alongside them. Boots or trainers both work. A wide-brim cap finishes the kit when the light is sharp. The UPF 50+ label is on the inner seam.

One of 81 on the trousers and shorts rail in the Pioneer Camp catalogue. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, the UPF figure describes dry, unstretched cloth, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
