If you don't want to order online, most sporting goods retailers ought to sell them, especially ones that carry boxing equipment. If you live near a Chinatown, poking around the curio shops is a good bet, too.

Jeans all day, board shorts when it's baking

Whatever pants you choose, always make sure to roll up one leg. It makes you look über cool, like you rode your fixie to the crag even if you drove your beater. I roll up my left pant leg out of irony. It's hip!

An entire year called and entrusted you to deliver the message? That's really ironic! Super awesome hip!

Either Carhartt's or Arborwear for Trad stuff. I'll occasionally go Prana Mojo shorts ($10 at the prana sale!) for more sporty things.

Down here in Houston I'm in shorts 8-10 months out of the year, but for pants I've really gotten into the Stretch Zion pants (as well as the convertables). Haven't had them long enough to know how well they'll hold up in the long run but so far, very nice.

Favorite burly/cold-weather pants are some now-discontinued MH Runout pants. Tough canvas with a great cut for my skinny/long-legged physique. Sure wish I could get a few more pairs of these, but oh well.

Walmart sweatpants in the winter; cutoff sweatpants in the Fall/Spring, nylon shorts in the summer.

People buy, "Climbing pants", because they're, "Climbing pants" and everyone KNOWS that to be a "CLIMBER" you simply HAVE to wear, "Climbing pants".

And it doesn't matter how well or how much you climb, so long as you
are wearing, "Climbing pants".

It is the ONLY true way to tell if someone is a REAL, "Climber".

"What brand pants are those?"

"Prana!"

"Wow! You're a "CLIMBER!"..."
