Recommendations for lightweight pants for tall climbers?
|
I'm trying to find lightweight, durable, long climbing pants that breathe well and are comfortable in Colorado summers? Ideally under $70. |

Good luck finding anything from Prana and Patagonia with a 36" inseam. |
|
im a 32x36 and the pranas work pretty well. it would be nice if they were 1/2 to 1 inch longer but it keeps the cuff out of the way when climbing |
|
Since the thread is now up; in a similar vein, does anyone have any suggestions for 28x33 pants? |

I don't see a single pair of Patagonia or Prana with 36" inseam. Plenty of 34" but they're too short for me. |

The Ex-Engineer wrote:I have occasionally found some TNF softshell pants in a 28-long but it seems most manufacturers think slim climbers don't exist any more. Any other suggestions would be great.I was in TNF Store in Boston a few weeks ago and one of their employees actually admitted to me that they were starting to size their clothing for larger "more American" sized people. |

Check out Outdoor Research. I've got a friend that's a few inches taller than me an has been looking for some longer legged pants and found that OR had some that fit him well. |

Simon, I'm 6'5" and a 34x36 (or closer to 37") in pants. Kuhl has us covered. Pricey but totally worth it. I pretty much only wear Kuhl pants now for climbing, casual, and work. |

I've had good luck with MontBell, which is surprising since a lot of their stuff runs really small. It's been a few seasons since I bought a pair, so I can't point you to a specific model. |

Patagonia everything fits tall folks better than most others. I am 6'4" and Patagonia is usually the answer. The Marmot Scree pant fit me well and I measure at 36x36. |

I have a pair of Rab pants that fit decently in the length department. They aren't as long as I normally wear, but they don't make me look like I'm ready for high water either. I typically wear a 38x36. Worth looking into/trying on. IIRC, the pants aren't sized like jeans- I think mine are sized as XL. |

Stone Crush Gear out of Winslow, AZ makes some great clothing and will do custom orders if necessary. |

Hmmm I'm 6'3" and I have the Prana stretch Zion pants with a 34" inseam. For "casual" pants like jeans and stuff I'd normally wear a 36" but I find 34" is nice for climbing pants. They're a bit short for wearing around town (but hardly manpris), but when climbing that's a plus because I don't have to roll them up at all. |
