About this product

Laithe trousers are made to be worn all day through a wet winter. A mesh lining keeps the 2-layer Weatherline fabric off your legs, so they feel warmer and less clammy, and they're rated to 10,000mm.

Side zips run from the ankle to just below the knee, and there are two zipped hand pockets, which most overtrousers don't have. The waist has belt loops and a part-elastic back. Short and long legs are available too, and the Hale repair promise covers them for life.

  • Mesh lining for all-day comfort
  • Side zips from ankle to knee
  • Two zipped hand pockets
  • Belt loops and a part-elastic waist
  • PFAS-free water-repellent face fabric, recycled nylon

    Comfortable all day

    I wear these instead of walking trousers on wet days in Kielder. The pockets are handy. A bit warm if you're climbing hard.
