Vaude Scopi III

Elastic, robust and effectively waterproofed, the test team praised the super-cut Scopi III for its high level of comfort and climate control. And for the ample storage space: it has two hand pockets and two leg pockets, one of which is made of mesh. Tip: You won't feel the irritating leg seams after a few steps (€130, 250 g/s).

The Scopi (€130) could also pass for alpine trousers, but are so light and airy that they are also a pleasure to wear on flat terrain: whether speedhiking, trail running or hiking, these elasticated trousers can do it all. The mesh leg pocket (men's only) is practical, but bothered some testers on the knee...
