What to know before you buy
Climbing pants differ from ordinary ones in three places, and you notice all three once you are hanging in a harness. The waist comes first: a button and a fly sit exactly where the harness belt goes, which is where you least want them. Freedom of movement comes second, because cotton on its own will not let a leg go high; it needs elastane in the mix. The legs come third, since a wide or long leg covers the footholds at the moment you need to look at them. Get those three right and the rest is cut and taste.
Landing the right size
You need three measurements: waist, hips and leg. All three are listed in centimetres on the size guide, so you can hold them against a pair you already wear, which beats guessing. Stretch fabric and an elastic waistband widen the range each size covers, more than a rigid fabric would, but they do not replace measuring: a couple of centimetres at the waist show up under a harness far more than they do in ordinary trousers. The table is on its own page and again at the foot of the product page.
Where they work
The gym and the crag both. On a boulder the drawcord cuffs earn their keep, because low footholds are the ones you look straight down at. On longer routes the waist matters more, since you spend more unbroken time in the harness. And because the twill is matt rather than shiny, the pants do not read as sports kit, so you can walk into a cafe in them afterwards. The fabric blend, the measurements per size, the pockets and the care instructions are all on the product page.
