But wouldn't any pair of pants worn by a guide become guide pants?

Patagonia is my go-to brand. Everything I ever got from them has been well-made, functional, and durable. They're not cheap, but I've bought and discarded many pairs of climbing pants and my Patagonia stuff gets the most use, and is still holding up better than everything else.

After several years of abuse and multiple big walls, I finally ripped the ass out of my Scree pants. I'm definitely getting another pair.

Pants that are designed for moving really slowly on easy,classic routes, pretty much the opposite of what most people strive to do .....

Prana Stretch Zion Pant. Have beat the shit out of them and no holes yet! Great stretch and breaths well. 3M scotch guard gives them stain resistance and DWR finish.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
