Shoulder Season Pants (Men)

What's your go to pair of pants for those chilly mornings transitioning to the sunny, crisp afternoons? Something not too thin that the shade chills you to the bone, but not so insulated you never lose a ounce of perspiration. 

Tell me about the PERFECT PAIR OF PANTS

Rock bottoms. Thicker grammicis, including the Gi pants from patagonia which used be be thicker.

Otherwise, I did like an old arcteryx softshell pant. This was like 2000-2002 and I don't remember the name or the fabric. But it was pretty tight-woven, not too thick and very slightly fuzzy. Mostly I remember how at Temple Crag they were warm enough alone but once I was baking at a belay and hiking in on the hot trail they didn't feel hot.

So, cotton, or thin softshell fabric.

I’ve had these Adidas Terrex pants for years.  Right around when they started to get into the outdoor / climbing game.   Best shoulder season pant around IMO.  One pant to rule them all.

Also, there is a specific MP section for gear related questions and reviews. Get it together.

Anyone who wears their pants over their harness has an ego problem

Any recommendations for "baggy" pants.  I have larger than typical thighs and calves.  Every pair of pants I have tried on in recent weeks seem to have gone the way of "skinny" jeans fit.  Absolutely too tight.

I am personally thankful that we generally have crotch zippers cause after a heady lead I need to let the boys hang out. #FreeTheCrotch

People hate on the chode over the internet, but if it’s small enough you can let it all hang out anywhere (schools, libraries, the bus)!

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should…

Just got some Patagonia Vengas that I'm in love with.  Highly recommend.  So far they're holding up to my constant knee-smears really well.
