Women's Summit Trekking Trousers

Perfick!

Having read the previous reviews, I was a bit wary about these, due to the glued pocket problem. However, I'm so pleased with my recent purchase that I'm buying a second pair. They are indeed elegant, slim-fitting and very comfortably stretchy, with that extra warmth from the fleecy fabric back. I have also just tested the water repellency in a very wet Lake District and found it excellent. These trousers are an ideal bridge between summer Roamers and winter-lined trousers. As a long-standing Rohan customer, I must add some constructive criticism, though...the pockets are too small. In particular, they aren't quite big enough to hold a small card case in comfort, and as many of us now carry our cards in an RFID case, it would help to enlarge them.

Love these

I love these trousers. They are very slimming. My only complaint is about the last pair I bought. The pockets seem to be glued rather than stitched. So the poocket has come away and I've been able to stitch it. And then it happened again on the same pocket but the opposite side - so again I stitched it. I have three pairs of these trousers and I wear them every day. Very versatile - they don't look like walking trousers - they look very smart. Please make them in more colours.

Summit Trousers

I also bought the winter summat trousers in early January particularly because of the nice warm lining.

I bought a size 10 short my normal size but they were far too big so got the size 8 which wasn’t ideal but fitted. The length was still too long and I’m 5’4” so not that petite. After 3 months the pockets have also come unstuck and after several washes on only 30-40 degrees I think they have shrunk generally too. I think the material on the outside of the pockets should be sewn and not glued. Shame I cant sew, so I cant wear them now. There is nothing else to buy with a warm lining for winter walking even now we are in April.

I purchased a third pair of these on the basis of satisfaction with first two and despite a hike in the price. Imagine my disappointment having shelled out £103.95 to find that the 14 regular that fitted me perfectly is now more

an inch shorter in the leg and an inch narrower on the hips. The 'new' length is unacceptable for me. I am very cross that the cut has been skimped, the price has been increased and on top of that Rohan charge for,postage unlike most competitors. This will be my last Rohan purchase for a long time methinks!

failed to meet

I purchased summit trousers last year but hardly worn, as with all rohan seams that are glued I found that today the pocket has come away. this is the second pair I will be taking back. My gr explorers took 2 pairs back. I like rohan and in general quality good but seems like they have gone off the rails in that department. in the last year we have taken back numerous pairs of pants, fleece top zip broken. these are not cheap items and I class myself as easy going and not one to complain but enough is enough. summits are £100 and not to have worn them very much as working so only wear at weekends and only in cold weather prob about 2 weeks wear in total is ridiculous. follow all washing instructions 30 degree wash and no drier used. what can I do with these now we are in lockdown

Recommended

These are excellent trousers, I have both colours. Really comfortable and very versatile, they are definitely great for the colder weather. They are water and wind resistant and considering I have had the first pair nearly 2 years very durable too. My husband has the men's version and wishes they were still available to purchase for him.

Definitely NOT wind resistant

These are the worst winter trousers I've ever owned. They are definitely not wind resistant. Ive just walked across open fields in windy conditions and the wind went straight through the fabric. I'm not someone who usually feels the cold but I was extremely cold and uncomfortable in these trousers. They will require thermal leggings under them. I wouldn't recommend them at all.

Pocket

Excellent trousers, my only comment is that the pocket now has a nearly vertical opening, in older trousers the pocket was nearly horizontal. The problem with the vertical opening is that things can fall out. A return to horizontal top opening for the pockets would be great.

Comfortable Technical Trousers

I really love these trousers, great fit, stretchy, comfortable and have proven to be very durable and protective on the high fells where I use them for the colder months. My only small criticism is that the pockets are so tiny, I'm a petite 5"2 and can barely fit my hand in, nevermind anything useful while out mountaineering. I'm sure this could be rectified easily.

In addition, I'd quite to see a 'comparison' option on the Rohan website as it's not always easy to keep flicking back and forth to check out suitability of a garment for season, activity etc.

Summit Trousers

Excellent versatile comfortable trousers. Great for chilly damp weather.

How about a lighter colour please.

Woman's Summit Trousers

These are fantastic trousers, great fit, good material, useful for smart about town wear as well as on hills and in gales. Please don't change them except to offer more colours.
