Why this is a top pick and a backpacking essential

As an architect spending months exploring everything from ancient temples to modern metropolises, Craghoppers NosiLife trousers have become an indispensable part of my travel wardrobe. Their clever insect-repellent technology provides essential protection against mosquitoes and other biting insects.

The lightweight, quick-drying fabric is a godsend whether you're caught in a tropical downpour or need to do a hasty sink wash in your hostel. Despite their practical credentials, they maintain a smart-casual appearance that works brilliantly from trail to impromptu dinner invitations.

These trousers perform admirably in all conditions with minimal maintenance required. The hidden zip pockets keep your passport secure on border crossing days. I wear them for both demanding hikes and casual city exploration, I'm absolutely chuffed with them!

Perfect for the backpacks of adventurous travellers of any gender; honestly, one pair simply isn't enough!
