What would your favourite climbing pants look like?
Tough, durable, plenty of stretch for movement?
Great fit?
Look good enough to wear at the crag, on the hill, down the pub?
How about from a brand that's kind on the environment?
Gear for Girls think they have a few answers....try these for size:
Mountain Hardwear Winter Wanderer....unbeatable on the hill...will cope with everything the mountain throws at you come rain or shine....and definitely the best looking pant available.
Patagonia Guide Pant...the favourite workhorse of the professionals; tough and versatile in the mountains.
Prana Verona Pants..........great for movement at the crag or wall; a high performance stretch pant with brilliant fit.
Mountain Hardwear Makalu Pants..... designed for winter conditions, these come with a lightweight fleecy inner to cut out the chill on those cold, cold days.
The North Face Apex Trekking Pant....... excellent softshell performance pant for all round mountain use.
E9 Violetta....... hard wearing technical climbing trousers from the unique E9 company.
Moon Eclipse Pant ......designed for ultimate freedom of movement and thoroughly tested by some of the best talent in the British climbing scene.

In reply to gearforgirls: Ok... I'm not a lady, but black is the worst colour in the world. It is boring, hot and doesn't look good in photos. I urge you to get in trousers in varitey of bright and silly colours. Red and yellow would be ace.
You'd be more likely to get my business if you called them trousers rather than pants. This is a British site, you're a British company, why use the American word?
In reply to fimm: I think I have spent too many years travelling around the globe climbing. Over exposure to American slang means it just creeps into your brain and sticks. Sorry to offend any upholders of the British language. However I do think the word trousers is rather masculine - wasn't the old fashioned word for women's trousers 'slacks'?

In reply to gearforgirls: Troll omnipants! mine have holes but trousers are trousers and pants are what you have called panties, which i think is a funny word. I like black trousers.
aw, I rather like the word pant: it is very jolly. And i'm English. It's especially funny when used with the prefix track. I would encourage the re-use of 'slacks' too - what about gear for girls designing a new range of climbing frocks and pinafores to complement said slacks? :- )

In reply to gearforgirls: I also recommend the Elisa Capri - the most comfy climbing trousers I've ever had! They fit well & don't fall down when you're clambering about so avoiding the unsightly builders bum style look

---- That's meant to be PRANA Elisa Capri - sorry. I have found Prana to be great all round (have a few of their tops too). Especially if you're eco-minded too.
