Choosing the right expedition wear is part of the experience. These tough trail trousers from our Duke of Edinburgh's Award Collection feature a streamlined 'cargo-lite' design made from easy-care, UV-protective fabric with a splashproof finish, making them ideal for unpredictable outdoor conditions. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Collection Design offers durability, comfort, and all-day wearability. The water-repellent & stain-resistant finish utilizes H2OShield plant-based DWR to help repel light rain and water-based stains, keeping you drier for longer. Built-In UV Protection is provided by the tightly woven polycotton blend, ideal for hikes and adventures in exposed conditions. They have a regular fit for movement and comfort, with a straight-leg cut, a subtle taper, a mid-rise fixed waist, and heel tape reinforcement for active days on the trail. These trousers are low maintenance and sustainable, made with an easy-care polycotton blend incorporating part recycled materials including zip tapes and pocket linings.
