Cheapo Climbing Trousers
December 10, 2014, 03:31:46 pm
What with the death of my old pair, and winter setting in, I need a new pair... but they're all so expensive! Anyone know any cheapo alternatives to the £60+ prana jobs?

Or if anyone's got any they don't fit anymore I might buy em off ya, I'm a 28" waist.

Cheers!

There's another thread somewhere where the conclusion was Decathlon / Simond jeans for about 10 fuck alls I think.

These are the ones....

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

Slightly more than 10 fuck alls but still a bargain in comparison to £60. Look smart.

Nice one Lagers, I may get some myself.

You're right that they were selling them off for FA10.  Maybe the flood of folk stockpiling them convinced them to continue selling them

£12 from Sports Direct, get 2 pairs and still have £8 to spend on egg sandwiches and coffee.

Fiend let me just clarify, they give you £12 to take those trousers away right?

If anyone wants a less eye-bleed-inducing garment, then needlesports are doing moon trou for half whack:

Largers, do these fit people of normal proportion, i.e. those without pipe cleaners for legs?

Good job team, nipped out to decathlon and am now a proud owner. Unparalleled levels of comfort. Lifechanging leg sensation etc etc.

Pretty slim for bouldering trousers, but I'd say fit like straight leg jeans? Really stretchy. Shame about the contrast stitching, but my mum has reliably informed me that I look good in anything so the joke's on everyone else.

Think you can check stock online too.

Yeah they do fit a lot slimmer than say a moon cypher trou (doesn't everything?) but they don't feel restrictive, what with the stretchyness etc.

I'm 6ft 2 and have legs like twiglets. Probably not the best person to provide fashion tips for the dwarves of broader stature amongst us.

Fuck yeah. It's kinda hard to see past the horror of the hipster, but that is definitely vibing. Getting to the weather where I might occasionally wear more than a power vest (although not often)

Fuck me - that looks just like one of the bells that's been in the news this week for opening a cereal cafe charging bloody four quid for a bowl of Rice Krispies.

Sorry, yes...have been reviving the schoolboy insults of late. "Bell" a current favourite along with "helm" and "dickwad".

All applicable to them cereal caff lads anyway!

If anyone can squeeze into an XS (28" waist), Decathlon has a few pairs of the Simond jeans for £19.

I've resorted to these for lighter weight bouldering trews. well cheap and easier to climb in than the jeggings ones

Good spot Roddy.. only 10 sheets too...

Speaking of Decathlog clobber - I got some shorts for boulderization from there that were made of the same stretch denim shit as the simond trousers.. THink they were designed for MTB but seem decent for climbing..
