Tracksuit bottoms or everyday casual trousers are fine for the average lowland walk, though on long walks they can irritate and chafe in ways that would not be noticed in normal use. Modern synthetic walking trousers are popular among regular walkers,since they are lightweight,loose-fitting, quick-drying and have handy pockets.Some Walkers wear shorts if the weather is fine,though long trousers offer better protection against brambles,nettles and ticks and should always be carried in case the weather changes.

Denim Jeans = should be avoided, as they restrict movement,lack pocket space and take a long time to dry out if wet when they can cause chafing.They have a high wind chill factor which means you can get very cold in them,especially if they get wet
