I keep shredding the seams/sides of my pants crack climbing, so I'm on the hunt for pants that 1) can withstand sharp Vedauwoo crystal offwidths, harsh desert sandstones, etc. but that are also 2) stretchy/not overly restrictive and most importantly, 3) fit! I'm a petite gal ( 5'3, ~110lbs, thin but athletic build) and typically wear a 00R/24 or XXS, and sometimes XS. I've been recommended some pants that satisfy #1 and #2, but #3 is the kicker! Can't seem to find anything in my size. Any [petite] lady crushers have beta on some solid pants??? Thank youuuuuuu! :)

My SO does fieldwork and this is the best comprehensive list that she has found for buying pants. Its a good starting point but YMMV as it is just a crowdsourced list of field clothing for women

I hear sportiva rocky mountain pants are durable and stretchy, but they dont make them anymore so you'll have to search Ebay etc.
