The Acosta Trousers use tough, water-repellent and fast-drying Nikwax® Windproof Denim fabric.
Their stretchy, articulated fit offers freedom of movement for a huge range of activities. The classic 4-pocket jeans styling features subtle reflective detailing on the pockets and inner leg seam, visible when the hem is rolled up.
Discreet mesh-lined thigh zips offer effective ventilation when required. The dense weave provides SPF 50+ UV protection.
In summary, the Acosta Trousers are the perfect combination of functionality and style for multi-activity wear in urban or natural environments.
Windproof Denim offers greater versatility, performance and practicality. Firstly, the fabric is water-repellent and fast-drying, unlike standard denim which holds on to water. Secondly, it is not only windproof but UV-proof and able to supply protection against biting insects because of the dense weave. Therefore, it can be used without discomfort in a very wide range of conditions.
Windproof Denim is also stretchy and combined with the clever articulated design can provide excellent ease of movement.
The fabric is extremely tough and durable, so suitable to use in many different environments without damage.
“Got mine day after ordering. Wore them yesterday on tough 17km hike in Peak District. PERFECT. Thanks so much for your help. Great experience.”

"I've stubbornly worn "ordinary" jeans when birdwatching and walking for years but their limitations were an issue. Have tried so called 'quick dry trousers' but found they were useless in a shower as they soaked through almost instantly. Drying quickly wasn't much use when getting wet! Thankfully discovered Paramo and spotted the Acosta Trousers. The thought of technical jeans sounded good and so far I'm impressed. They've worked well in Force 5 & 6 wind and coped with unexpected showers. Also like the fact that they're just as comfortable as jeans and look like jeans but with extra useful features."

“Some technical trousers – with key things for travellers such as articulated knees for comfort and robust fabric for durability – look way too sporty and, though fine on the trails, can look a bit OTT in a restaurant. Enter the winner of this year’s Best Travel Trousers: Páramo’s Acostas. Using a special windproof denim that is proofed with Nikwax – meaning they’re shower-resistant – they look good no matter where you find yourself. Added extras including discreet vents (for breathability), stretchy fit (for comfort) and UV protection make this a fantastic combination and still incredibly light.”
Judges' comments: “You’d never know these were technical trousers, which makes them a superb choice for travellers.”

“I would never have considered buying them as jeans in the outdoors isn’t something I’d recommend – however I found these comfortable and practical. They were a nice cut and a good fit – and worked well in the Alps as an approach and climbing pant (and general hanging out pant). They were waterproof in the showers, dried exceptionally quickly, and were light enough to cope with the 30 degree heat. I would definitely recommend them.”
Sheryl Confue
“I took off for Peru mid-April this year armed with some shiny new bits of kit, eager to put them through their paces on my two back to back Inca Trails. We certainly did have four seasons in a day, every day! The sun shone bright and hot, then it clouded over and rain and wind came….my staples were the Tempro and Acosta, which, although worn five days in a row on both trips, still looked (and smelt!) as fresh on the last day heading into Machu Picchu as they did on the acclimatization day in Cusco at the start of each trip. I knew the kit would stand up to the rigours of long days on the hill with great venting and temperature control. The Acosta Trousers were like wearing your favourite comfy pair of jeans. ”

The Acosta Trousers are an ideal three-season solution, thanks to the wind-resistant fabric with renewable water-repellency, UV protection and ventilation options.
The Acosta Trousers will repel a light shower, but if heavy rain is forecast we recommend Páramo trousers using Nikwax® Analogy Waterproof fabric for full weather protection. In warm or humid weather, choose our Atca Trousers for a fast-drying, cooling effect.
We recommend using our Parameta T+ underwear underneath the Windproof Denim legwear for maximum comfort.
These trousers will combine well with any of our baselayer, midlayer, windproof or waterproof tops.

Garments are specified using metric measurements, therefore the metric measurements in this chart are the most accurate. Imperial equivalents are rounded to the nearest half number.
Measurements relate to the body rather than garment measurements, for example a leg length measurement given here is for a person's leg length, not the actual leg length of the garment to reflect the fact that our garments are designed specifically for a number of different activities.
