Anyone know of any?

I have an old pair of blue troll omnis, which have now essentially fallen to bits. I was hoping to replace them with one of the more character-filled patterns, but Troll seem to have stopped making them. I know R&R do a clone, but thats a very dull shade of blue. So, any contenders for a suitable replacement?

Failing that I suppose I'll have to add a daftly-coloured tshirt into my climbing wardrobe..............

I used to have a pair of shiney neon leopard skin Edelrid lycra "skins". These would get coupled up with a scarey looking Quicksilver vest. I looked like an exploded christmas tree!!

It would seem that amongst the old guard in Fontainebleau shiney lycra is making a comeback! Or was just that I noticed it more the last weekend that I was there?

Go on, get some shiney lycra and lead the way

The all in green looks a bit special

Best dressed man on the crag!

If you're wondering if I have anything to do today....yes. I am trying to write up subtitles with time code and my Tw@ted finger is on my left had and I am left handed and it hurts and so typing provides some reflief and I can't believe that no one is helping to find AJM some new gear.

It may be Monday and we're all struggling and lurid colours and patterns may be hard on the eye but we must answer AJM's cry for help!!!

Arnica used to do some tasteful ones. I picked up the orange ones I'm wearing in my profile picture in Zakopane for about £10.

Very hard wearing, but orange.

Are you even remotely practical? If so, the pull on baggies with elasticated waist are SO easy to make. That way you can pick the nastiest, most garish fabric you can find and make your own. Cheap!!

At last!!! I guess it must have been just one of those Monday morning things. These trousers are splending and they'll double up nicely as a thermal blanket

Joe Brown's used to have some bright yellow Omnis on the sale rail - fantastic. I now have 2 pairs!

I particularly like the Candy Stripe or Marble. Scrolling down even more and you can totally accessorize for a complete image. Nice.
In reply to AJM: I have some lovely ones- I found a white pair in a charity shop, and tie dyed them green. Anyone who went to the university bouldering champs at the works may have seen them.

Fantastic!
In reply to Niall: Oh you win.. mine are just a plain green, with the ties in white. But those are awesome.

Would you beleive I bought those in Top Shop of all places? About ten years ago.

Why? Thought people like yourself went out with mismatched fluroesent socks.

In reply to AJM: I've got a couple of pairs of Gelert rock baggies http://www.gelert.com/Products/Rock_Baggy.aspx that I got from Bernies in Ingleton. They come in various bright colours and the ones in the link are about as tasteful as they come.

Mrs Pictish hates them and is even more worried that I might bring the Troll Jesters back into service.
