Winter Walking Leggings

If you can’t find a pair of walking trousers that fit properly or that you like the look of, walking leggings are a great alternative and provide excellent freedom of movement. Hard-wearing and rugged, you’re getting everything you need from your outdoor legwear in something a little different.

THICK WINTER LEGGINGS

Thermal leggings are a great clothing option for hiking in snow and cold weather. And thick winter leggings can be surprisingly warm, even worn as a single layer. But they can also be worn under other clothing. If you don’t own a pair of winter walking trousers, then some thick winter leggings under a pair of standard walking trousers can have the same benefits. And for warmth for your upper body, wear a thermal base layertop under afleece or sweatshirt in cold weather.

CHOOSING WARM LEGGINGS FOR WINTER

The key to selecting the right warm leggings for winter comes down to materials - you don’t need super thick leggings to stay warm on the trails. Warm leggings for hiking in cold weather should be stretchy and comfortable, provide warmth and insulation, be durable enough that they won't rip on thorns and branches, and be breathable, so moisture is wicked away to keep you dry.

Look for hiking leggings with inner materials made of fleece or Merino wool, which are insulating and warm, moisture-wicking and quick-drying. And thermal hiking leggings with pockets are super practical, perfect for keeping your phone or cards safe while on the go. And for all your other essentials, we have a great range of hiking backpacks for any adventure.

WINTER LEGGINGS FOR WOMEN

Winter hiking in warm leggings is easy and comfortable - the stretch allows you freedom of movement on snow-covered hiking trails. Decathlon’s collection of winter leggings for women comes in various colours and sizes, from XS up to 3XS. And we also have thermal leggings for men, boys, and girls too so the whole family can keep warm on their hikes.
