If you want to enjoy a quiet mountain hike, try low mountains after the autumn leaves. It is true that once the autumn leaves are past the first snowfall, Japan's mountains transform into a harsh world where snow and strong winds are closed, and it is generally said that this is a season that is not suitable for hiking, but in reality, there are many low mountains and satoyama on the Pacific side where there is little concern about snow even during the harsh cold seasons of January to February. The appeal of hiking during the so-called off-season is the unique atmosphere of this period. The beasts and popular are no longer present, and the sound is gone, and the tight, cold, clear air closes the distance from nature.

Salomon WAYFARER WINTER PANT
Heat retention★☆☆ Wind resistance★★☆ Mobility★★★ Breathability★★★ Lightweight★★☆ Features★★★
Salomon is well known for its ski gear, but it may not be well known that it has released many high-quality items in the world of trekking and trail running. The four-way stretch makes it easy to move, wind resistance and durability, and the lining that combines breathability and heat retention are amazingly comfortable .

Easy to move and comfort, durability, ease of use, and beautiful silhouette. This is the winter version of the Psiphon series, which has been used to this shocking quality this summer, so you can't help but look forward to it. The results were as expected, but no, the high heat retention with the addition of the perfection for spring and summer is just right, so the finish is better than expected. The three-dimensional cutting, which was carefully calculated for climbing, is perfect for trekking, and has pockets and belt adjustment hooks that are designed to be fully convenient. One drawback is that there are few size variations. If you're the perfect fit, you'll probably regret not buying it.
By the way, even if the size doesn't fit, the classic trekking pants are designed to accommodate more almighty activities. Gamma AR pants come in many sizes and are functionally comparable, so we also recommend this one!
Patagonia SIMUL ALPINE PANTS is recommended for everyone with an exquisite balance that goes well with no matter who wears it.
Heat retention ★★☆ Wind resistance ★★☆ Mobility ★★★ Breathability ★★☆ Lightweight ★★★ Features ★★☆
The loose and relaxed silhouette like the atmosphere of the West Coast is a story from a long time ago. Recently, Patagonia have many wonderful and stylish models with the finest functionality, and I get excited whenever a new model comes out every season. Among them, I felt that this is an all-purpose covering winter activities is at a higher level than any other pants. The moderate stretch makes it mobility, heat retention, durability, breathability, ease of use, and design, and its high level of perfection, with no drawbacks, making it an all-purpose masterpiece that can be recommended for anyone as a winter pants!
A unique silhouette that will make you want to get on the field anytime soon,
Mountain Hardwear Daihedral Precurve Pants V.3
Heat retention ★★☆ Wind resistance ★★☆ Mobility ★★☆ Breathability ★★☆ Lightweight ★★★ Features ★★☆
It is certainly more functional when trekking in winter with a slim silhouette with a hem that doesn't easily catch spikes or crampons, but to be honest, it's hard to get rid of extreme thin jersey-like pants that are just too sensitive to wear. In this regard, Mountain Hardware trekking pants have a particularly slim and beautiful silhouette. At the same time, the unique ultra-three-dimensional structure and elastic material do not compromise on ease of movement, supporting natural walking. The front and hip pockets on the left and right give it a more casual look, making it a wide range of uses, from relaxed scenes in the city to hiking. However, the polypropylene used as a material is light and durable, but it is slightly harder and has different preferences.
As ever, the overwhelming cost performance
of mont-bell cliff pants
Heat retention ★★★ Wind resistance ★★☆ Mobility ★★☆ Breathability ★★☆ Lightweight ★★☆ Features ★★★
Montbell has a wide range of pants, but these cliff pants are the easiest to move around in and use throughout all winter activities. The high quality of the material is highly stretchable vertically and horizontally and three-dimensional cutting of the knees at this price, making it an overwhelming cost-effective product that will make other manufacturers sick. The straight silhouette is not too thick, and I also like that it gives a very stylish impression for a Montbell.
