Pleased to have found a pair of 34 inch long water resistant walking trousers, with 36 inch waist. Most others are 33inch long max. With the current dry summer have only been able to test them once so far in light rain but they seemed to work well, with rain beading on them and drying quickly. They are a good fit, not baggy and with a bit of stretch. Slightly plastic feel to the cloth, no doubt due to water resistant treatment. They seem well enough made, the only negative being the popper closing on the waist that does tend to pop open at times unless I wear a belt. The fit is quite snug so maybe think about getting a size larger in the waist than usual, which should help avoid the popping! I intend washing them only with the technical wash treatment to avoid losing the water resistant quality.
These are brilliant LW trousers. Ok prob not waterproof in heavy storms but they are shower proof , easy fitting and best trousers i have used for comfort . Use for everyday wear . Second pair bought
due to bargain price
Went camping in foul weather. Lightweight, good stretch and very comfortable. Got rained on (a lot!) but legs never got wet. I think a bit of water got into the fabric but it dried in minutes. Excellent performance for a garment sold as a single layer and never felt ‘steamy’ inside like some totally waterproof outers can feel if they are not maintained perfectly. Extremely happy with this purchase and will buy another pair. Probably best to wash with specialist soap (conventional detergents can strip the durable water repellent finish and I don’t know if this garment is immune to that).
Very comfortable. Although let down by a press stud fitting for the waist.
Beghaus is noturious for being small fitting so get the next size up for sure.
Bought the trousers for hill walking, they are extremely comfortable and lightweight. and although they are not water proof they are extremely water repellent. I would definitely recommend these to anyone.
Berghaus is a brand Im becoming increasingly fond of. Their clothing have proved to be highly durable and long lasting, as well as fulfilling customer needs such as comfort and versatility. As the winter weather is quickly approaching, it’s always a good idea to leave the house with waterproof and lightweight clothing that can resist rain and wind easily. I’ve been using these for my daily evening walks in the park, and I must say that they have been a pleasure to use.
Despite some of the rain, these Ortler 2.0 trousers kept me dry and some what warm despite its lightweight properties. I did wish that the waist was a little elastic to really ensure that the trousers stayed secured tightly, but regardless this wasn’t a huge issue. The drawstrings on the legs are great and the fastenings across the trousers are built to a high standard and quality. The mesh pockets were great at keeping my belongings snug without them bouncing around.
I did feel however, that for a 74.95 trouser, the quality could’ve been a bit better, for instance the elastic waist and slightly better stiching to ensure that the the trousers won’t rip when taking long steep strides when trekking. Regardless, a solid all round waterproof trouser that’s both breathable and comfortable to wear. Would certainly recommend! 🙂 also, I love the simplistic aesthetic of the trousers.
Thank you for reading my honest review, I hope you found it helpful! 🙂
These are pretty good, although the sizing is on the ungenerous side — these didn’t fit my Dad, who typically wears a 36″ waist and who I’d intended them for, but were a good fit for my brother (usually a 34″ fit at the waist). The trousers are lightweight and nicely sewn. The waistband is lined with a lightweight microfibre fleece fabric. The fly fastens with a small metal snap fastener and a zip. There are zip fastening pockets in the legs of the trousers, and the back pocket is concealed under a flap of fabric, and has a zip closure. The ends of the legs have elasticated drawstrings, with toggles to making adjusting these easy. Good stretch to the fabric, so this moves well with the wearer’s body.
Berghaus is a big name when it comes to outdoor wear and these trousers are the second in the Ortler range. Having not tried the first and with only other alternatives to compare it to I checked these out to see if they were really made for walking.
First impressions were good as the fit is as expected – the waist is large enough, there is plenty of room within the leg and they are definitely long enough. There’s also plenty of flex in the material which both allows for movement and could suit a larger person – they are definitely bigger than others I’ve tried. In terms of quality, the material seems waterproof and is solid as are all the fastenings. There are adequate numbers of pockets and drawstring around the bottom – making them great for walking.
Overall then these are great walking trousers and come highly recommended.
Very good quality walking trousers. Comfortable, lightweight, water resistant and look good too. The only reason they’ve lost a star is that, for me, the pockets just aren’t deep enough. Would definitely recommend.
Nice looking trousers, I bought for my husbands birthday to replace an older pair of ortler trousers which were looking tatty. The styling seems to have changed slightly and the leg a bit more narrow, and the embroidered logo on the back has been replaced for a cheaper looking printed logo. They’re nice quality but not quite as good as they used to be.
