    Which trousers should you wear on a hike or in the forest?

    Finntrail trousers for the outdoors come in two kinds: membrane rain trousers that you pull on when it starts to rain or when walking through dewy grass, and LOGO 1401 casual trousers for everyday wear and travel. The light OUTDOOR fit in a backpack, while the tougher EXPERT 4602 are made for a long day in a wet forest. OUTDOOR 1310 is enough for most hikers.

    How to choose, who they are not for, and FAQ

    Who they are for

    • •A morning hike across a dewy meadow or through tall grass, when ordinary trousers get wet up to the knees within minutes.
    • •Mushroom pickers on a rainy day: EXPERT 4602 has reinforced zones that last longer against branches, stumps and kneeling on wet moss.
    • •Travel and time at camp when it is dry: LOGO 1401 is comfortable for everyday wear and active leisure.
    • •For women: OUTDOOR W 1312 with a women’s cut and the same 12,000 mm membrane as the men’s OUTDOOR.

    How to choose

    Choose your trousers by how much time you will spend in wet surroundings and whether you will carry them in your backpack for most of the day.

    What these trousers are not for

    • •Wading through a stream or bog deeper than your boot tops: water will get in from below. That is what waders are for.
    • •A cold winter day. The rain trousers have no insulation, so wear thermal underwear under them or choose a warm suit.
    • •A rainy hike in LOGO 1401. These are casual trousers, so when it rains pull on the membrane OUTDOOR 1310.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will membrane trousers get hot on a long walk?

    Less so if you choose more breathable ones: OUTDOOR 1310 and OUTDOOR W 1312 let out 10,000 g/m²/24h, so your legs get less damp from sweat. EXPERT 4602 is tougher but breathes less, 7,000 g/m²/24h.

    Which trousers should I choose for mushroom picking in the morning dew?

    Choose OUTDOOR 1310: these light membrane trousers keep out dew and wet grass, and once the sun has dried the forest they pack into your backpack. If you often push through thickets and stumps, the tougher EXPERT 4602.

    How does OUTDOOR W 1312 differ from OUTDOOR 1310?

    The membrane figures are the same: rated at 12,000 mm and letting out 10,000 g/m²/24h. The difference is the cut: OUTDOOR W 1312 is made for a women’s figure, in sizes from XXS to XXL.

    Are the rain trousers visible after dark?

    Yes, OUTDOOR 1310 and OUTDOOR W 1312 have 3M reflectors, and EXPERT 4602 has reflective details. That helps when you walk back from the forest along the roadside in the evening or move around camp in the dark.
