Custom Baggy Climbing Pants

yo gng im making some pants for climbing that aren't like a billion dollars but idk what people want for them so like what do you need in yo pants.

Reinforced a$$ and knees

I prefer them to be durable and reasonably priced, which is why I wore Carhartts in cooler weather and shorts in warmer. I am tired of the “ made by climbers for climbers” in some mountain valley surrounded by big peaks and charge a lot of money. Also try not to make them so butt ugly you wouldn’t want to wear them in a dark room , thinking Kuhl. 

pockets

fun colors

ya they will be as cheap as possible. im not really looking for some crazy profit, so they will not be over 100 dollars.

also, im gonna reinforce every contact point, as in the butt, knees, pockets, and hem of the pants. the stitching will also be super durable so they don't rip and when you put your hip into the wall it doesn't fray and get all nasty lookin. 

looks wise, im still not quite sure what im looking for, and im open for suggestions, but the kawa club pants are a pretty good looking fit

I don’t get the baggy thing. Free movement is important, but so is having unobstructed view of the feet, and less faffy stuff in general. Baggy doesn’t support that.

Maybe this is a bouldering thing? That’s prolly why I don’t understand it.

Speaking of Butt Ugly!

Baggy makes terrible climbing apparel.

I like a good thigh pocket - your phone doesn't restrict your movement there

Pink! and Purple!

I personally like really stretchy fabric for extreme range of motion. I like to be able to get my foot up above my head. getting restricted in your movement by your pants is as bad as being short roped

And pockets 

I have a pair of older Kalis pants - super durable, stretch, great fit. They are sized very small but you should take a look at them and the material

Balikos by verve were a bit baggy and a pretty cool pair of pants

simul alpine by Patagonia also come to mind

Carryover from snowboarding?

MC Hammer is simply too legit...

ya the belikos are pretty much what im trying to make, but add more butt and knee reinforcement, and not 135 bucks

I had miltiple pairs of pants back in the day by a company called JRat. Loved them. Loose, not baggy really. But elastic around the ankles so your could see your feet, didn’t snag on stuff. Elastic at the waist with a belt thing to cinch them down. The pockets are important- must be deep enough and not anchored to the side so that if you go upside down the pocket doesn’t spill out. Back pocket should have a zipper.

Yah, that was exactly my first impression.

Can’t imagine how all that baggy fabric would fit in a typical sportclimbing harness with fixed leg loops.

Climbing pants these days have become so ugly. Something simple stretchy and baggy. I’ve got some extra thigh and calf so extra room is very valuable to me. I’d like something that I can wear Climbing and I don’t feel like a total dork when I go to get a beer afterwards I don’t want something that says I’m doing something special in my pants. Something that looks like jeans would be great freedom of movement is important and nothing that goes up my ass crack. Price is not as important as I’m paying a shit ton for pants that give me a wedgy and make me look like I’m a dork like I just came from some kind of fucking parade. I just want Climbing pants that are comfortable stretchy freedom of movement and don’t make a statement.

Honestly, is that too much to ask? What ever happened to pure function over useless fashion?

Best two pair of pants I’ve found are the Wrangler ATG line.

The Wrangler ATG  Cliffside Utility Pant

And the Wrangler ATG Jackson Utility Pant

Both retail between 30 and 45 bucks. Both super durable one being a stretchy material good for mobility and the other a heavy cotton duct good for the grovely abrasion resistant needing stuff. And the cotton sticks like shit on a blanket on granite.
