Hey everyone, I'm making a survey on fashionable rock climbing clothing mostly mostly for the bouldering market for my capstone. If your interested give a look, thanks.

Your lowest option for what we'd pay for a shirt/jacket starts at 40 to 60 euros. Am I just living in another world, getting my clothes second hand, more sustainable and  cheaper? Why not have a lower option.

Projects like this are making it very difficult for climbers to convey ‘dirtbag’ as they step out of their Sprinter conversion vans.

I am not hopeful they will produce anything useful for climbing.  There are no questions about what features you think are necessary for the clothing.

The payment options are based on market data of other companies, plus we are not targeting the climbing dirty bag demographic(no offense).

No offense takin…. Not a boulder but one thing I really miss are really really durable pants and shorts… about 10-15 years ago “Dickies” a manufacturer of primarily work clothes, stopped making what they called “roofers shorts” and long pants. The very useful feature of these was the butt and knees (on the pants ) was triple thick. Rockclimbers as opposed to boulders spend a lot of time sitting down. The Dickies would hold up for a season at Joshua Tree whilst the big name brands were good for a few days…. Food for thought.
good luck
