Women's Traverse Stretch Hiking Trousers
These deceivingly simple trekking trousers have a lot more technology than their minimalist design would suggest. With MultiFlex™ four way stretch, secure zipped pockets and adjustable waistline for superior fit and comfort, the Traverse Trousers make a great winter trekking choice.
Read more…Perfect for a multi-day hike or trekking holiday, the Traverse Trousers are an incredibly comfortable, super stretchy, lightweight pair of trousers with a smart, minimalist design.
Made from our tough polyamide fabric with Multi Flex™ four way stretch, the Traverse Trousers are durable, hard-wearing and fantastically stretchy. They’ve been ergonomically designed to match the natural shape of the leg and have articulation darts around the knee to give a perfect 360° fit. The deep shaped waistband with adjustable hook and loop tabs help to provide unimpeded movement and all day comfort whether you’re walking, scrambling or doing a mixture of both.
The Traverse Trousers have a Durable Water Repellency™ finish to keep showers at bay, and with reinforced anti-scuff tape on the hems they offer long-lasting durability. There’s also a soft, brushed finish on the inner waist for added warmth.
These lightweight trousers are incredibly easy to care for, with the ability to be washed by hand or by machine, and have a quick dry time, making them ideal for taking on hiking trips or expeditions.
With a total of four zipped pockets conveniently located for easy access, including one rear pocket, one leg pocket and two front pockets with an internal Tri Ring in one, there’s plenty of space for all your essentials.
These incredibly stretchy, lightweight trousers are made for all day comfort and long-lasting durability over tough terrain – a great choice for rugged expeditions and multi-day hikes.
Fabric:
Multiflex™ (92% polyamide, 8% elastane) with Durable Water Repellency™
Lightweight - Weight: 415g
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Packable - Pack Size: 1000ml
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
Fast Drying - Drying Time: 5 hours
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
DURABLE WATER REPELLENCY™
Our DWR ™ finish is an advanced treatment which dramatically increases the water repellency of our fabrics. On its own, it offers a useful level of shower resistance; used in conjunction with our Barricade™ technology, it reduces the tendency of the face fabric to wet out and maximizes breathability.
4 Secure Pockets
Losing the odd bit or bob when you’re close to home is rarely an issue, but losing car hire keys, passport, phone or wallet becomes more important than ever in a far off land. That’s why lots of thought goes into safer pockets – deeper, zipped and hidden.

Traverse Trousers
Very comfortable walking trousers. I am 5ft 9 and bought the 12 long, which are a perfect fit. They have been used on cold and wet days and have kept me warm and dry. They repel light showers but do soak in really heavy rain. They wash well and dry overnight. They are a narrower fit than the Roamers which I like and have plenty of stretch in them. They do bag slightly at the knee due to the seams, but not really noticeable. Good value at sale price.
Great winter trousers
I bought these trousers at the end of October as I decided my summer walking trousers were a bit thin. I read the reviews on these trousers and bought a pair on the strength of them. I discovered that the reviews were very accurate. Thicker fabric which is indeed showerproof but will leak after heavy persistent rain. If you’re going out for the whole day in dodgy weather take your waterproof trousers! I am a standard size 14 and the fit is perfect especially with the adjustable waistband, I’m 5’7” and the standard length is just right. Pockets where you need them including the little zip back pocket, perfect for cards. I have been so pleased with these trousers, I bought my husband a pair of the men’s version and he is pleased with his too!
Womens traverser Trouser review
I ordered the 10 in Long Leg. They are huge and not long enough. My inside leg is 32.5 so the long should be fine according to the size information but the trousers are 32 inches long and too short. Why can't suppliers make trousers long enough (it's not hard to turn them up but you can't lengthen them)!
Other than the sizing the product seems nice but I've not tried them out for obvious reasons.
The Perfect walking trouser...After many years of searching
These trousers are perfect for walking in the U.K. I am training for a Pennine Way attempt and the trousers work well in a range of temperatures - so far I have walked in 8 - 24 degrees centigrade and they remain comfortable, the fabric does not make me sweat (and I normally do). The trousers cope with showers and rain. With persistent rain, there is a eventually a tipping point when you can eventually feel occasional drips of water on the inside but that is after at least 2 hours of persistent rain, so unless it is pouring down, for hours, there is no need to wear sweat inducing over trousers. The leg pocket is perfect for my iPhone - far superior to the uncomfortable and impractical side slit pocket in some of my other Rohan trousers. Traverse legs are not too fitted and not too flared, so boots and socks stay nice and dry. In terms of size, my size 12 measurements are exactly those stated in the Rohan size guide. The trousers provide a fitted look, but because of the 4 way stretch works this is entirely comfortable, even when scrambling, and give a smart, fitted finish. I bought the coal colour and feel they would be fine to wear in the evening too. They are perhaps the perfect walking trouser, after years of searching. Love them so much. Thank you to Katie, in Rohan customer services for locating a 2nd identical pair!
favourite hiking trousers
These are the first Rohan trousers I bought online and I just love them. They fit very well. Usually I need a belt for all of my trousers but the adjustable waistline is just perfect. Very nice material, feels very comfortable on the skin. I always look for walking trousers with a lot of pockets and these pockets are just ideal and big enough for my phone, money or other small stuff I take with me on my walks and hikes. They are my favourite hiking trousers so far.
Ideal for multi day trekking!
I love these trousers! I bought them to do the 5 day W trek in Patagonia. I comfortably wore them every day and the water resistance meant I only needed my waterproof trousers for downpours, not the frequent showers. They dried really quickly too. My favourite feature was the leg pocket, ideal for taking photos on my mobile phone without needing to go into my rucksack. They then came straight onto my 3 day kayak trip. 8 days walking and kayaking, definitely ideal for multi day and now doing me well for hillwalking in Scotland
