Gramicci Original G-Pants

A stylish and versatile product, when introduced. How has the passage of time impacted that reputation? They're still pretty good...but what is their primary function? I bought my first pair of Gramiccis from REI, in Fremont, around 2005. They still made them, without a zipper, in Oxnard, Calf. The gusseted crotch was innovative and allowed climbers room to bend and stretch, in ways that slimmer fitting cotton pants couldn't provide. Waist adjustment was via a partially concealed webbing belt: maximum… Full review

La Sportiva Crimper Pant

The La Sportiva Crimper is a durable and lightweight men's climbing pant that has a little stretch, yet provides comfort in a cotton-blend, eco-friendly construction. The women's model is the La Sportiva Temple. This quick-dry pant is ideal for any kind of recreational climber, whether enjoying the gym or conquering grueling multi-pitch routes on the mountain. Searching for a great pair of climbing pants can be a tedious matter. Finding a durable product that is also flexible can be the crux of… Full review

Patagonia RPS Rock Pants

I really like these pants. They are durable and comfortable, and they aren’t restrictive when you’re trying to move around over rocks or downed trees or whatever other obstacles you might encounter in the wilderness. They’re pricey, but I think they’re worth the investment. Fit & Comfort: These pants have a pretty standard fit—not very tight and not especially relaxed. Definitely not baggy. The pants have some stretch to them, which, combined with the not-too-tight fit, make them flexible… Full review

prAna Stretch Zion Pant

Very comfortable hiking pants, highly recommended! I purchased a pair of the prAna Stretch Zion Convertible pants in the spring of 2016 (see my review of those pants here). After a year of loving those pants, I wanted to get another great pair of comfortable hiking pants. This time, I decided to give the regular (non-convertible) Stretch Zion Pant a try, and purchased these in the spring of 2017.   Being the bargain-hunter that I am, I searched the internet until I was able to buy a prior year… Full review

Boulder Denim Athletic Fit Jeans

The Boulder Denim jeans are aimed at the office to outdoor crowd—those people who are looking for a pair of pants to go from the job to the crag without having to change in between. These are as close to perfect a pair of casual pants as I’ve ever worn and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a pair of jeans to run the gauntlet from business casual to the climbing granite runway. PREAMBLE There are two types of people in this world—there are the good beer drinkers and the Coors light… Full review

prAna Vaha Pant

Wow, these things are comfy and if you cover up the waistband they will pass for nice linen dress pants. I found these on sale at a major retailer and I had just discovered how comfortable prAna pants were. In fact I had vowed to wear nothing but prAna pants ever again and so I needed another pair of prAna something. I put them on as soon as I got home and was thrilled at how soft they were. But, it was 30 degrees outside and I don't turn my heater up very high so I put midweight wool long underwear… Full review

prAna Sutra Pant

Very comfortable for daily use or yoga. I currently own two pairs of PrAna's Sutra Pants. These pants are extremely comfortable, but do come with a few drawbacks. COMFORT: The comfort of the Sutra Pants is precisely why I now own two pairs. These things are like wearing pajamas around all day. They are by far the most comfortable pants I own. They have proven themselves to be good pants for hiking, general use, and fishing (they flex with you and dry quickly when wet) as well as for yoga workouts… Full review

Mountain Hardwear Piero Pant

Toughest pants ever owned! Super abrasion resistant, still look great after several years of serious abuse!!! 32 Long fits great for 5'10"/160lbs. I simply cannot wear these pants out! I think it was 4+ years ago I bought these, and the stitching is still holding tight everywhere! I like climbing gear for backpacking due to its abrasion resistance, and this pair of pants is the single reason I support Mountain Hardwear products. I would estimate these pants have been worn a hundred times, and gone… Full review

prAna Stretch Zion Pant

Love these pants. These pants fit great and are perfect pants for any outdoor adventure. Perfect for hiking! The material is very comfortable, stretchy and breathes very well. They have an adjustable waist so you can fine tune them to your waist size.   The material is very strong and durable.  The pants also whisk water away pretty well. The water that does soak in a bit dries very fast.   They layer well in cold weather with my Patagonia Capilene long underwear. The material does burn very… Full review
