Climbing Pants: For Mobility on the Wall

Choose climbing pants based on your plans and the demands of your route. Climbing pants are tested through the movements you make on the wall. High steps and splits reveal how much room there is at the hips and knees. Check how the waistband fits under your climbing harness and choose pockets based on your discipline. Different cuts or features may be useful for bouldering and longer rope routes.

Bouldering Pants: Selection Criteria

• Footholds: Test high-reach movements. If possible, test the fit before your first use.
• Hips: Check the range of motion. Compare options based on your specific planned use.
• Waistband: Pay attention to the waistband and seams. Check the specifications for the specific model you’re considering.
• Discipline: Plan for pockets and hems. Consider your personal requirements in this regard.

Choose Pants Based on Activity and Weather

Test the pants while performing the movements of your activity and with the additional layers you plan to wear. A well-fitting waistband must be evaluated differently when sitting than when walking. Shoes and, if applicable, a backpack affect transitions as well as access to pockets. Compare materials and construction based on the specific specifications. Plan based on route, duration of stay, and weather, without equating similar categories. For longer trips, care requirements should match usage; therefore, also consider cleaning and drying options after use.

Choose climbing pants for your specific needs and take your time comparing the different models. The “Pants” section offers a helpful overview. Explore the selection online or discuss your questions during a consultation at the store.
