A Sneak Peak into AW24: Hiking Pant Edition

As AW24 is on the horizon, we thought we’d give you an insight into our outdoor pants, to see which are best suited for your adventure.

When you’re hiking, the right pants can change your game. So whether you’re after something that’s lightweight, breathable, waterproof, quick-drying, and more, look no further because we’ll have something for you.

The Classic : Blocked Hiking Pants

First on the list is our timeless Blocked Hiking Pants. We all know that this is a favourite amongst the explorers in you; these pants have been a staple since the inception of the brand.

Cut from a premium Cotton Nylon blend, we pride ourselves on the exceptional comfort these trousers offer. Whilst the blocked panel detailing is made up of a light ripstop, which has a slight stretch for further give with your movements.

These pants boast quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties, making them essential for any adventure by keeping you dry and comfortable. Additionally, the integrated belt and discreet pockets ensure that all your essentials are within reach without sacrificing the aesthetic or feel of the trousers. Whether you’re navigating a challenging trail or enjoying a leisurely hike, these pants will not disappoint.

Sorted.

Matt says : “Can’t go wrong.”

The Life Saviour : Deluge Pants

Have you ever been caught in a sudden downpour, whether you’re out in the sticks or even the home comfort of your own city?

We certainly have, and it’s rarely ever enjoyable. So that’s why we introduced the Deluge Pants, our solution to this inescapable problem. Designed by our team as an over trouser for extreme conditions, these lightweight pants have gone through a meticulous design and testing process, ensuring that they will be your ultimate companion for unpredictable weather conditions.

Cut from a fully waterproof fabric, with ultrasonic welded internal taped seams to ensure longevity of the water resistant properties. Unlike most waterproof trousers, these feature three front pockets with waterproof zippers to keep your essentials handy and protected.

Karen says : “Never been drier.

The Exclusive One : Alpine Pants 

I know what you’re thinking, they’re just the Alpine Pants, what makes them so exclusive?

While they are indeed our beloved Alpine Pants, known for their superior quality, we have still, somehow, made them that one bit better for AW24. Introducing our PMO exclusive camouflage — a unique, homemade camo pattern with a distinctive splash of purple that you won’t find anywhere else.

Through rotary printing of the camouflage, another layer is achieved on the pants which create a much thicker feel, as well as a mild water resistance. Meaning that these can be worn in all conditions, whether you fancy a trip into town, the local paintball spot or up Snowdon, your options are endless.

Like our other hiking pants, these too feature an integrated webbed belt, as well as two side entry pockets and 2 back pockets with snap closure poppers. This AW24 exclusive version of the Alpine Pants is a must-have staple for any hiking enthusiast.

Adam says : “I can’t see them but I’m sure they’re good.

The New Kid On The Block : Terrain Pant

Last but my no means least, we introduce the Terrain Pant. As the name suggests, it’s a new silhouette to the range, but that doesn’t mean its quality has been compromised. Anything but, the Terrain Pant is a high spec pant made for all weather conditions, in all circumstances.

A favourite here in the studio, these hiking pants have been designed with the utmost precision and care. Crafted from two fabrics; a Cotton-Nylon blend and a Stretch Ripstop, they provide enhanced performance in all conditions. The ripstop material being at the front and seat allows for a stretch and ease of movement, whilst the Cotton-Nylon blend provides both ventilation and flexibility. The articulated fit to the pant ensures unrestricted movement, with a more structured look and feel to them.

These too feature all the necessities that make up a good hiking pant, featuring discreet side and back pockets, which have been mesh lined for additional ventilation.

Honestly we’re excited for this one and we hope you are too…

Joe says : “I’d sleep in them.

At Purple Mountain Observatory, we care about our clothes and we hope that shines through in the brand. We’re constantly working on how we can improve things to suit our adventures, and honestly we’re excited about what’s to come in September.  Join our mailing list to be one of the first access the new collection.
