The North Face Lightning Trousers If your idea of hiking is more pacey hut-to-hut routes over undulating terrain than slow and steady treks at lower altitudes, then the Lightning Trousers are for you. Enriched with FlashDry-XD technology, these pants efficiently wick away sweat to the outer layer of the garment where it can be evaporated, leaving you feeling cool, dry and comfortable. They are super quick-drying, so nothing will weigh you down. The Nylon-Elastane mix means they're durable, stretchy and soft, for maximum comfort and freedom of movement, as your clothing choice should never inhibit your performance. The belted waistband allows you to create a secure and comfortable fit, whilst the pockets provide ideal storage for small personal items. And thanks to articulation at the knees, clambering up and down over rocks or steps is blissfully restriction-free.
