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 - lightweight2 - 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, whatever7 - Drawstring waist.8 - pockets9 - 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...)

I'm 6ft 2, and not keen on ankle flappers. If yes, then can someone do me a massive favour and pick me up a pair or two at that price if they are going in? Our nearest Decathlon is in Edinburgh, and last time I was in there they didn't have any in stock. I'll repay coast and postage, plus the price of a pint for your troubles. Thanks!

Ended up with some E9 Montone (I think...) in a fetching bright orange colour. Pretty nuch as you have described.http://www.bananafingers.co.uk/e9-montone-brick-p-2711.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwnZShBRDfxqzr55rcyMEBEiQA1iRNP7SbTl_4M-in6mfXPvBxVZwO1PApqYQRgAWEr0dILccaAvN78P8HAQ

Finally got myself a pair of the Symond bad boys - first impressions, very good and super comfortable. Bit concerned about longevity but I suppose they're only a few fuck alls... How long are people finding they get out of a pair?
