The plus size hiking trousers you asked us for
You asked, we listened. We’re excited to bring the Thicket Adventure Brecken Pants to the UK! Made for hiking and travel, these plus size trousers are designed for the way bodies actually vary, so you can focus on the trail ahead rather than fiddling with your waistband.
Why we’re excited about them
-
Two fit options: choose Booty Fit for more room through the hips, thighs and backside without a baggy waist, or Belly Fit for more room through the tummy without extra fabric sagging at the seat.
-
Adjustable, high-rise waistband: a soft, yoga-like elastic waist with an internal drawstring helps you dial in the fit, including when your size fluctuates.
-
Four phone-sized pockets: two zipped pockets with pull tabs and two envelope cargo pockets keep your essentials close.
-
Lightweight and quick-drying: practical for days on the trail and travelling between adventures.
Choosing your fit
The Brecken pant is designed to be flexible in terms of sizing so that if your weight/size fluctuates a bit, they will still fit. The waistband, in particular, is highly adjustable. If you tend to need more space around your hips, thighs and bum, start with Booty Fit. If you need more space around your middle and less through the seat, try Belly Fit.
Brecken Pants use US dress sizing, do not pick your usual UK dress size. Please measure yourself and use the size chart at the bottom of the page as a guide to finding your size. Base your choice of size on your hip measurement.
Rebecca's sizing advice: Our experience with the Brecken pants is DO NOT SIZE UP. They are generous in sizing, so either pick the size based on your hips for a regular fit, or if you like them a little more fitted SIZE DOWN. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size. The waistband is incredibly stretchy, as is the fabric, and they 'relax' after an hour or so of wear - so consider this when trying them on. I sized down and they can still be a bit baggy on me.
Fabric and care
Body: 90% nylon, 10% spandex. Waistband: 76% polyester, 24% spandex. Wash cold, tumble dry low and do not bleach.
About Thicket Adventure
Thicket Adventure began with founders Kara and Arwen meeting on a hike and recognising the same frustration: outdoor clothing rarely fitted bodies like theirs. The Brecken Pant grew out of their determination to make something that did.
