Fitted/Athletic fit climbing pants

You could raid your little sister's closet like most emo kids do.

Since you are wanting the slimmer fit, check out the Stoic Overhang pant. I have the shorts and am a big fan of them so far. If you can find them on sale definitely give them a shot!

David said = people that pay $70 for climbing pants that they are going to beat the crap out of make me lol.

You get what you pay for David. If you climb often in the backcountry, a light synthetic - breathable soft-shell or DRW treated nylon pant sure beats the hell out of a pair of cotton work pants.

The best all around pant that I can wear all year in all conditions all the time is a pair of Patagonia Simple Guide Pants. I've gotten two years out of single pair climbing ice/mixed, ski-touring, frequent cragging, and frequent alpine rock missions.

I'm a total metrosexual though...

Friend of mine gave me a pair of Blur pants. Not sure what model but so far I love them. A little stretchy and they seem to be durable. Check them out. If I like them enough I might buy a pair so you know who can LOL.

Anyone ever try these? They seem somewhat fitted and there on sale.

I say skinny jeans! Why not!?

prana zion with the zip offs. got em in grey and brown. wear them even when not climbing they are awesome.

I climb in these pants: kuhl.com/products/Crag-Kanv…

They're really nice and durable, but move well for climbing. They also double as my dress pants. The tan fabric has faint stripes on it that makes them look a lot like cords.

Prana Zion pants are a good bet. Stretchy, comfortable, and durable. If you want something a little more technical and maybe does double duty in alpine environments, consider the REI Mistral pant. Soft-shell, but breathes great and I mean, they're kinda slim fitting. You won't fit in at any Hawthorne Heights concerts though ;)

The Marmot Cortina is pretty slim. I don't know if they make it anymore though.

I've got two pair of the Prana Nemesis Knicker (apparently knicker is a euphemism for manpri), I'm guessing they're just 3/4 length version of the Zion. I like em better than shorts in warmer weather since you still get knee and some shin coverage.

Im a big fan of the Mountain Hardware Piero Pant. Ive used them on an el cap route, plus a bunch of climbing in the deserd as well as cragging. A Year old now and they still look brand new.

take a look at these too. I also have these and like them very very well for warmer weather climbing. They stretch a lot. Not quite as durable as the pieros...but i have used them a lot and they still look good and are holding up well with climbing. They are definitely thinner than the pieros.

I own a pair of marmot scree. Most comfortable pant I own. Very thin softshell material that stretches like hell. Seen everything from Zion summers to Teton winters. Cut slightly slimmer than Patagonia guide pants and weigh less. The kicker is an elastic waist with belt loops. That's right my friend- backcountry look but feels like sleeping pants. Doesn't get better than that..if you have to wear pants of course. That is all

Rab "Sawtooth" pants are pretty cool....bit more of a euro cut, so longer legs and less space for a gut...

Patagonia Traverse Pants if the still make them. Only in black and they are slim fit (i'm a medium and I have a 30" waist) but they are light weight softshell fabric with a lot more stretch than my alpine guides. They're not burly but I have 2 pairs that have seen a lot of use and they're still going strong. I wish they made them in tan or grey for summer use...
