I am not planning to wear pants. I am just going to wear jogging tights with super light weight shorts over them. I find that comfortable in both warm and cold weather.
Thanks for the recommendation and helpful review.Sorry - these pants are, I believe, available only for men. (They have pants for women, but I am not familiar with them.

I have worn a pair of these pants for four or five years and I like them so much I thought I would recommend them. IMO, they are perfect for walking the Camino. Here's why...
All of us need to keep organized the following: passport, pilgrim's passport, currency, and ATM/credit cards. Additionally for some, tissues, a mobile phone, a guidebook, a map, and maybe a small foreign language phrasebook. These pants have solved how to securely and conveniently carry most, if not all, of the above.
One of the two large, deep zippered pockets on the front of the pants hold my passport, pilgrim's passport, currency and ATM/credit cards. The other zippered front pocket can be used for a phone. Two fairly deep, velcro-secured cargo pockets hold most of the other items. (I admit that my travel shirt usually gets my phone and my reading glasses.)
The zippers, I feel, provide additional assurance from pickpockets from the airport all the way to my Camino start point. (Yes, I know a razor blade can cut a pocket, but I still feel more secure wearing these pants.)
Next, quality of materials: tough Schoeller panels protect high wear areas (knees, butt, and instep areas) and the rest of these pants is a high quality stretchable material. The waist also has expansion pleats. Finally, the durability of my pair has been outstanding.
I make this recco having bought and worn many other brands over the last 25 years or so: Mammut, Ex Officio, North Face, and Royal Robbins. I have no connection whatever with Cimalp except for having verified that the design and materials used has not changed since I purchased my pair.
Oh yes, these are not lightweight pants. But in hot weather I wear shorts.

It's rather childishI am not planning to wear pants. I am just going to wear jogging tights with super light weight shorts over them. I find that comfortable in both warm and cold weather.
How are trousers different than pants? My dad used to call his pants, trousers. When I was a kid I just thought he was old!!! hahaThanks for the recommendation and helpful review.
It's rather childishbut it never fails to raise a smile when our transatlantic bretheren tell us about their pants, which we call trousers. Pants are different .
Buen camino one and all.
@lt56ny Haha. It is a constant source of, as I admitted, slightly childish amusement.How are trousers different than pants? My dad used to call his pants, trousers. When I was a kid I just thought he was old!!! haha
You are exactly right about that. I walked the Le Puy and CF one year with a young man I had met walking with his mom on a previous Camino.They are from Australia and I am from USA. Max has become like a son to me and I a dad to him. He is young and can walk and walk. We walk different speeds and would often walk separately. When we would have discussions about which way to walk or were to meet on WhatsApp or in person we would always end up screaming at each other because neither of us spoke the other person's English. He would leave me directions on where to find him in a town and he might as well been speaking Venetian to me!!! So you are right, it is just something to smile and laugh about when us pilgrims talk and meet and learning about language and meaning sure can be fun!!@lt56ny Haha. It is a constant source of, as I admitted, slightly childish amusement.
In UK, generally, trousers are trousers and pants are underwear. When people announce, perfectly innocently, in an albergue that they are not going to wear pants, they need to know they will cause affectionate, and maybe bemused, raised eyebrows.
And let us steer clear of the difficult area of intercultural descriptions of bumbags.........
I find the peculiarities of a (common) language a constant source of interest. And I would never wish to maintain that one side is 'right' and the other side is 'wrong'. Tim
Right? Exactly what almost all women's cut styles don't offer. This is mostly about the pockets. Men's cut doesn't fit many of us Ladies properly.I want: quick drying, cargo pockets, deep side pockets, and at least one zipper pocket.
