Looking for some new tapered leg climbing pants. (Skinnier towards the ankle) Looking for options in a synthetic, weather resistant material and a durable cotton.

I've climbed in carharts, lightweight carharts and most recently the Prana stretch Zion and love them all for the most part but I'd like to see my feet.

Thanks a bunch.

I don't have a suggestion as I've also had no luck in this type of search. It seems that skinny ankles = skinny thighs which I don't have so skinny pants don't work for me.

Unless you count that stupid trend with elastic cuffs on pants.

I hate swishing ankles so I just roll mine a few times.

But I just remembered that my Gramicci Tokyo pants have skinny ankles, I just don't climb in cotton.

PLEASE GRAMICCI MAKE STRETCHY TOKYO G PANTS PLEASE ITS CALLED SCHOELLER PLEASE

thank god I can sew

Vuori Abrasionless Pants are a great climbing pant. Super durable and comfortable, with good stretch.

Cinchable elastic cuff at the bottom keeps them out of the way, light enough for hot days and really abrasion resistant.

Marmot Rockstar Pant. Haven't found a pair of pants with a fit that good since they stopped making them a few years ago.

Just get some baggy elastic waist pants from goodwill and peg them.

I'm still using climbing pants that Black Diamond made out of Schoeller stretch fabric 15 or more years ago, no holes and no problems with the seams. I have asked the rep about bringing them back to no avail. To bad they have been without a doubt the best most durable, comfortable piece of outdoor clothing I have ever owned in the 45 plus years of climbing and other like activities.

while we're at it, anyone have any recommendations to share for smelly dirty hipster beard maintenance, or tank top recommendations.... it kind of goes hand in hand with the skinny pants/small package theme of the thread.

Rab Torque pants are great. Skinny at the ankle and stretchy, durable, well-made.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
