Ricky, you're a lot harder on pants than I am, but you know too some of the stuff I've gotten into. And I've warn these pants to do it. It's the seat area that usually go first for me. I've sewn and Gear Aid WP+ the current pairs I have. Not saying you'll get more time out of them, but for the price maybe they can work for you |

I always liked Arborwear pants but it looks like they've really gone up in price. I used to get the tech pants, which I don't see, they only have the Tech Flex and they're 110 bucks. The regular Tech pant used to be half that, but that was a long time ago. https://arborwear.com/product/106044/ |

STP for Carhartt, almost always something useful in stock around $30, and Prana usually has a sale at some point where you can stock up on whatever. |
|
110.00 for a pair of pants is far from dirty dirtbagging unless they last a lifetime just sayin And I must warn that I have worn all kinds of pants. |

Black adidas track pants hold up pretty well if you ask a certain SoCal climber. |

For a women's option, the Carhartt leggings are amazing. I've been climbing in them (OW included) for years and they have held up wonderfully. They did take a bit to break in, but after that they are stretchy and comfortable. And, if you are a member of the American Alpine Club you get a discount through Expert Voice. |

If you are able to get them used or shell out a bunch of money for them The Fjalraven Keb's are my favorite. Though went it gets cold Montane makes the best soft shells and Mountain Equipment the best shells. |

Fjalraven is a good company and makes quality stuff. You pay for what you get though. |

Alan Kearney swears by baseball pants from the thrift store. I don't have the climbing pedigree to disagree with Alan. |
