3/4 Climbing Pant Suggestions
|
Hey everyone I'm pretty new to climbing and was looking for some suggestions about good 3/4 length pants I can wear climbing. I like the Arcteryx Bastion line, but every store around me is currently sold out of my size. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! |

I think a lot of climbers think capri pants (or 3/4) pants are dorky on guys. That being said, I'm sure there are some badasses sending 5.15 in 3/4 pants. If I'm going light for a few days and just taking the pants I'm wearing, I have a pair of prana stretch zions pants that work good for me. They do have buttons that allow you to roll the pants up to 3/4 length, if you are so inclined. Just my two cents. Do what works for u. They used to rock some crazy pants in the 90s and they still had a good time. |

Real men don't give a shit what others think about their wardrobe choice, nor do they have twigs for legs. Try high-stepping in Carhartts w/ beefy thighs. |

whatever you get, make sure it has stretch in it |

I second Mike's suggestion for the Prana Zion stretch pants. They're comfy, durable, stretchy, and they have the buttons to roll them up if you're every so inclined (though I just roll them up like any other pair of pants...never used the button to fasten it up). They're reasonably priced, too, at $75 retail. I think I paid $50 for mine on sale. |

Stonemaster Gear makes some good stuff. I have the full length pants, which are comfy and have a little stretch. Haven't had the nerve to get their knickers. |

Any cotton pants from Goodwill. Cut em off sew em up. Like three bucks a pair. Your'e gonna shred them any way. |

Prana makes a nice 3/4 pant, I have a pair, wear what you want, but then I'm from the lycra days, even had a pink pair. |
|
Goodwill is a definite option. Consider military surplus stores, too: not quite as cheap as Goodwill, but often super-durable. |
|
I just wear old/stained jeans or cords that are out of the regular rotation and roll them up once to get the ends out of the way. |
