BAM Ultimate Travel Cargo Trousers
Style March 3, 2026
BAM has been consistently creating clothes that look good, feel great and practical for activity and the Ultimate Travel Cargo Trousers are no different. These trousers strike a nice balance between relaxed styling and useful details, so they feel easy to wear without looking scruffy.
The fabric is a lightweight and soft stretch cotton blend (97% Organic Cotton, 3% Elastane) that allows for plenty of movement, specifically hiking, but will handle most activities (including a trip to the shop or pub). The material feels breathable and comfortable against the skin, which is especially welcome when travelling or sitting for long periods. There is enough stretch to avoid that stiff, restrictive feeling you sometimes get with traditional cargo trousers. It is worth noting that these trousers don’t have any water proofing or insulation so they are best suited to dryer and warmer seasons.
Storage is another strong point. The trousers include standard front and back pockets along with roomy cargo pockets on the thighs. These pockets are practical for carrying essentials such as your phone, wallet or passport, yet they sit fairly flat, so they do not add unnecessary bulk. They also feature a zip closure to ensure possessions remain secure. This makes them suitable for both casual days out and travel when you want quick access to your belongings.
The fit is relaxed but not overly loose. They offer a clean, modern shape that works well with trainers or casual shoes. The waistband feels secure and comfortable, and the overall construction gives the impression of solid everyday durability. They are only available in two colours Timber and Washed Black which is fine, but a few more options would be nice.
They are not designed as technical outdoor trousers, so they are better suited to city breaks, commuting and light walking rather than demanding hikes or wet weather adventures.
Overall, the BAM Ultimate Travel Cargo Trousers are a comfortable and practical option. If you value soft fabric, useful pockets and an easy going fit, they make a dependable addition to a travel wardrobe. RRP £79
