Pioneer Camp Women's Water-Resistant Cargo Trousers, huckleberry

The drawstring at the waist sits where you set it and stays put through the climb, the quick-dry knit giving as you move so steps do not catch. Thigh cargo pockets close with zips and hold maps, snacks or a small torch without bulging, while the cloth sheds light drizzle by beading water on the surface.

By evening the cut has kept its shape. The stretch in the fabric means the fit feels the same after a long day of bending and scrambling. Colours do not demand attention. Huckleberry reads like a reliable choice when the light goes flat and you are packing away.

One of 81 on the trousers and shorts rail in the Pioneer Camp wardrobe. It also answers to hiking trousers, cargo trousers. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
