It's easy to hike with Exploration Trousers. To start with they're made of a lightweight stretch material that doesn't stick to your skin and moves with you instead of limiting you. Additionally there is a turn-up, secure hem feature to provide a bit more leg ventilation. And finally, the water repellent surface comes in handy for light showers. They have two hand pockets with zipper and two larger thigh pockets with zipper.
