About this product

Cleugh overtrousers go with the Cleugh jacket, and they're the pair we'd choose for a full day on the hill. At 270g in size M they pack small, and the 2.5-layer Weatherline fabric is rated to 15,000mm.

Three-quarter side zips open from the ankle to the upper thigh, so you can get them on over boots and gaiters and open them up on a climb. Scuff patches on the inside ankles protect against your own boots. There are three leg lengths, and the Hale repair promise covers them.

  • Three-quarter side zips, ankle to upper thigh
  • Scuff patches on the inside ankles
  • 270g in size M
  • Elastic waist with a drawcord and press-stud fly
  • 40D recycled nylon with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish

  1. 4 out of 5

    Good, zips stiff at first

    Dry and comfortable on the Western Way. The side zips were stiff to start with and needed two hands. They freed up after a few weeks.

    On and off without taking boots off

    The long zips mean I can get them on standing up on a windy summit. Kept me dry on Helvellyn via Swirral Edge in rain. Packed size is good.

    Andy, Keswick · 6 October 2025 · Bought size M regular, true to size
