I recently purchased these pants in the rose/tomato colorway with the intention of outdoor sport climbing and am so happy with my purchase! I read reviews on the manufacturers website that the most recent version was oversized so I ordered both S and XS. My stats are: 130~135lbs, 5’5”, 26in waist, 37in hips with a long torso. I ended up going with the size S because it fit me best in the hips area although the legs were a tiny bit baggier than I would’ve liked. Pros: I love how durable the material is. I wore it outdoor sport climbing (66F and sunny) on sharp volcanic rock and felt very protected while leading slab climbs, struggling through 3D top rope, and hiking through thorny approaches. Also the color is too cute! My friend liked it so much she bought the XS off me lol. Cons: why are all climbing pants low to mid rise??? As a long torso girlie this is the bane of my existence because the waists don’t fit me because they hit me lower on me close to my wider hips and if I pull them up I give myself a major camel toe. I also worry about chafing under a harness but wearing a long sun hoodie helped prevent skin contact for me. If they could raise the waist on this by one inch or offer an option for different rises that would be amazing. Lastly I did have to take the pants off (I was layering bike shorts under) on the 2 mile uphill approach. So I wouldn’t recommend these for any temps above 75F as they are a bit thick.

Great Pants!

I love how durable these pants are. The fit is awesome and they move great. The material is a bit stiff which helps with durability but not softness.

I'm so happy about the rugged material these are made with. They're comfortable, a little stiff at first, but I'm sure they'll break in nicely. Loving the pockets and design of these pants. Also, I found customer service to be Excellent! I definitely am thinking of buying a second pair.

Ordered 2 in different colors, love them both! Fit is great, feels really durable. Great for indoor climbing, curious to know how well they breath outdoors though.

I loved everything about the style of these pants -- except how they looked on me. The material and elastic are super sturdy and the color combos are so good. I am 5'4" / 125 lb and the small was a bit too tight in the thighs and the medium was too large at the waist. Both sizes could have been about 3 inches shorter, as there was a lot of fabric bunched up around the ankles. If you are taller with a slim build, these would probably be perfect!

I absolutely love these! The ankle elastic feels sturdy and super thick for rolling up and actually staying in place no matter how high you bunch it up.
