Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best womens hiking pant for NZ tramping?
The Rab Womens Torque Pants are the starting point for most NZ trampers — durable, practical construction suited to everyday trail use. For more demanding terrain or alpine routes, step up to the Torque Mountain or Ascendor AS. Pair with waterproof overpants for full wet-weather coverage.
What's the difference between hiking pants and softshell pants?
They're largely the same category — "softshell pants" refers to the fabric construction (stretch woven outer, fleece or smooth inner, DWR coating), while "hiking pants" describes the intended use. Most technical hiking trousers at Dwights use softshell construction.
