Something with room for the boys- anytime I wear non-stretch fabrics, and the leg loops pull up, things suffer. It' really is motivation not to hang or fall, I guess. Mike Lane wrote:Who remembers Christian's banana-hammock phase?Oh that's awesome news... you mean it has ended now? |

Walmart jeans....they are like $12 a shot so you don't get all pissed off when you blast a hole in the ass from doing too many sit starts. |
|
I like something that allows full range of motion. I do quite a bit of extreme stemming and I find the right pant is imperative, the difference between sending super tuff and going home disturbed and angry. |
|
If you are in the Prana price range, I think a much better product is the Stonemaster climbing pant. |
|
I will let you in on a little secret... chords are the greatest things ever!!! a lot of chords come made partially of spandex! get these!! they are very durable and don't get dirty as easily. they are all i climb in! get some from your local thrift store/savers/DI.. but make sure they have spandex! |
|
Anything that's all nylon will be really durable. Some are even reasonably priced. |
|
If you want to go with jeans, I love my Royal Robbins Nox jeans. They stretch and breathe. No wear issues yet. Picked them up for $28 after coupon from STP |

Is this thread for real? Did it really make it 3 pages over pants? |
|
Dog forbid we get accused of not helping out the new guy, just kidding. |
|
anything thats durable and cheap for cragging ... no need for any special pants unless yr going for that "climber" look |
|
I climb in sweat pants or nike running pants. |

Royal Robbins Jeans. I actually have been trying not to use them as much as I'm afraid to wear them out!! Best jeans I've ever bought. |
|
All the cool guys wear tights.... or at least they used to in the 80's and 90's. |

Personally, I prefer climbing in ugly pants... |
