Dodgy glasses, cigar, superiority complex, dubious morals. I'd look closer to home. Now then, now then.

That's the first pair of climbing trousers I've ever seen that actually look quite cool.

Wait, aren't you a 40-something accountant? How definitive is your idea of "cool" likely to be?

My orange Scarpa mountain boots otoh are style-approved by my mate's teenage daughter, whose opinion in matters of "cool" carries rather more weight.

I'm 39 and I actually do trust my sartorial judgement. Most teenagers appear to be dressing just like teenagers did in the 80s anyway, so what the hell do they know that's new?

The accountant bit is irrelevant too (although I get the joke) as it just means I have enough money to buy decent clothes these days. I find most outdoor manufacturers stuff really generic and boring and I have no idea why anyone would want to plaster themselves in DMM/E9/Moon/TNF etc logos unless they're at least getting the stuff for free. And don't get me started on the state of most blokes shoes ffs.......

I've relegated one of my favourite Ltd edition t-shirts and a Ted Baker hoodie to climbing wear because they match each other and my Dragons. People may still think I look like a cunt, but least I'm making a bloody effort not to.

;-)

Jaspers normally well turned out. Especially for one who had difficulties with mirrors ;)

I was wearing an old pair of Moon trousers last night and I'm pretty sure that Dolly wasn't able to tell that I had shat myself through fear.

Shirley this has to be an important feature of extreme sports clothing?

I have two pairs of Simond pants and they are really good. In fact, I use them as normal pants and still train with my old ones.
The pair of Fat Sloper Action pants that Monolith left at my place are awesome. He'll never have them back.
Other than these, Black Diamond ones are good as well.

My FSA t shirt is still going strong. Shame they aren't about anymore.

Simond climbing jeans from decathlon. Best thirty quid you'll ever spend, especially if you got them for twenty quid like I did.

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/mens-jeans-trousers-id_8175777.html

They look better on me than in those photos.

These never seem to be in stock in Puerto de la Stock,  so was going to get a set online. How do the sizes work out? I'm normally a 32/34 long in jeans and wondered whether L would be about right.. Any advice from owners?

I am a lanky specimen.

Got some Kuhl trousers from CragX a month or two ago, well designed and comfy.
How are yours holding up Slackers? I had a pair and wore through the knees in 6 months.

Get some of these instead then (as modelled by lagers):



For some reason this made me think of Glenn Robbins - I once drove from Melbourne to S.E. Queensland with Glenn in the passenger seat wearing leather chaps and playing Gary Glitter  :ohmy: on the ghetto blaster for 19 hours straight to keep me awake.......I have always been rather thankful I didn't get pulled over by some country copper in those days, things were still a bit "Deliverance"-like in rural parts back in the 80s.... doesn't bear thinking about really :-[

Dare I ask why you spend so much time on your knees?

Only just seen this, they're doing ok, but I don't actually wear them climbing/bouldering as I've several pairs of half knackered/old trousers that are reserved for getting further trashed.

Word. Some heads up on the Decathlog Simond Boulderization Jeans....

Good news:
- Decathlon in Sheffield have some in stock
- They're only £24.99 (online price was £32)..

Bad news:
- I had to ask for them - and they were in a plastic tub above the shelves - apparently they are being discontinued (the Decathlog bloke scratched his head and said I dont know why - they sell really well here..).
- There are now two less large size in stock :)

So if you see yourself needing some in the coming year(s) then fill your boots (or trouser legs) as they're not gonna stick around..

OK so the Simond climbing jeans are where it's at for climbing jeans but if it jeans for climbing type weather I'll just wear...


well jeans.

However I am in need of some new trews for a Spain trip, anybody got any suggestions that tick as many of the following criteria:
1 - lightweight
2 - not super sweaty fully man-made fibres, you may not think they're sweaty but I will. I'm prepared to go as far as a poly-cotton mix type schmoogins...
3 - Baggy, probably baggier than is really practical but when you've got chicken legs like mine to disguise loose is the goose (or something??)
4 - But not too baggy (i.e. MC Hammer is a no)
5 - It would be nice if the crotch was you know somewhere near the crotch area, not hanging somewhere betwixt knee and ankle...
6 - Brightly coloured. Current faves are a fairly bright blue but would accept red, yellow, green, blue, orange, purple, whatever
7 - Drawstring waist.
8 - pockets
9 - Obviously fly as fuck (this probably doesn't need mentioning as what self respecting almost 40 year old non-accountant wouldn't be fly as fuck...)
