Matrix LW Cargo Trousers

Matrix LW Cargo Trousers

Expertly selected by Gerrys Fishing The ultimate summer trouser for the active angler.

When the temperature rises but you still need the protection and utility of a full-length trouser, the Matrix LW (Lightweight) Cargo Trousers are the perfect choice. At Gerrys Fishing, we know that heavy combat trousers can be a nightmare in the summer heat. These are designed to be the exact opposite: incredibly light, highly breathable, and engineered with a comfort stretch that moves with you.

Constructed from a premium Nylon and Elastane blend, these trousers feature a 150gsm fabric weight, making them feel almost weightless. Whether you are trekking through high grass to find a hidden swim or sitting on a seatbox in the midday sun, these trousers keep you cool and dry.

Why the Matrix LW Cargos are a Summer Essential:

• Super-Fast Drying: Made from 95% Nylon, these trousers dont just resist light spray; if you do get caught in a summer shower, they dry in a fraction of the time compared to standard cotton cargos.

• 4-Way Comfort Stretch: The 5% Elastane content provides just enough give so you can kneel, bend, and climb over stiles without the fabric pinching or restricting your movement.

• Secure Utility Storage: Features zipped hand pockets to keep your valuables safe, plus pleated cargo thigh pockets for easy access to terminal tackle or your phone while seated.

• Modern Tapered Fit: Designed with a stylish, tapered leg and part-elasticated ankle cuffs, ensuring the fabric stays away from your reel handles and doesnt drag in the mud.

• Adjustable Comfort: The part-elasticated waist and built-in belt loops allow for a perfect fit, even when youre moving between active casting and sitting still.

Where to Use the Matrix LW Cargo Trousers

These are the most versatile warm weather trousers in our collection:

• Summer Match Fishing: The moisture-wicking properties keep you cool during high-intensity matches, and the fast-drying fabric is a lifesaver if you get splashed while netting fish.

• Roving & Stalking: Because they are so light and stretchy, these are the best trousers for creeping around the lake or walking miles of riverbank in search of Chub or Barbel.

• European Fishing Trips: If youre heading to the continent where temperatures regularly exceed 25C, these are a must-pack item for your luggage.

• Everyday Outdoor Wear: The modern, technical styling makes them look like high-end hiking trousers, perfect for dog walking or any outdoor activity away from the bank.

Gerrys Pro Tip: These are the best trousers weve found for anglers who hate getting sweaty in traditional combats. The Nylon fabric is also surprisingly toughit wont snag easily on brambles like cotton does. If youre between sizes, the part-elasticated waist gives you plenty of breathing room
