💢💢 Top 5 Climbing Pants for Men of 2021 💢💢

👉 #1: Best Overall Men's Climbing Pants - PrAna Stretch Zion

The Zions hands down boast more mobility than any other style of climbing pant. As far as features go, these pants are decked out. There’s a roomy thigh pocket designed to be out of the way of harness leg loops and cuff snaps that effectively ventilate and free the ankles. The integrated belt is flush enough not to cause discomfort and strategically placed out of the way of a harness. They’re adequately weather treated for wearing in mildly stormy conditions.

What I like most about the Stretch Zions is that they don’t ride up or bunch up while you’re wearing them.

👉 #2: Best Budget Climbing Pants - Black Diamond Notion

The Black Diamond Notions are looser fighting than traditional leggings, which is especially appreciated on tough bouldering problems that require tight movement. Made from a soft cotton/elastane blend, the Notions are comfortable and have proven to be relatively durable — not prone to piling or tearing like many affordable alternatives. Reinforced seams through the knee area confirm the brand’s attention to important climbing-specific details.

What I like most about the Black Diamond Notions is that they’re made from 98% organic cotton.

👉 #3: Best For Cold Weather Climbing - Arc’teryx Gamma AR

Arc’teryx designed the Gamma AR pants with big mountain objectives in mind. The fabric’s four way stretch allows for complete freedom of movement, especially combined with the gusseted crotch and built-in articulation across the knees. This year’s model features adjustable cuffs that fit easily over mountaineering boots, as well as retraceable lace hooks that help you to really dial in the perfect fit for you. Two zippered hand pockets and a thigh pocket with a handy dandy laminated zipper finish off the features.

What I like most about the Gamma AR pants is how breathable they are for a cold weather specific pant.

👉 #4: Best For Wearing From The Crag To The City - PrAna Axiom Jeans

The Axiom Jeans are made from a super stretchy durable blend of cotton and elastane that holds up well to use and abuse, plus an improved fit and range of motion over non-jean alternatives. They feature a relaxed fit through the hips and a bit of a widening through the cuffs, like a traditional boot cut style. Features include a climbing-specific gusseted crotch and four large, functional pockets — two in the front and two in the rear.

What I like most about these climbing pants is how fast they dry out when wet.

----

👉 #5: Best For Trad Climbing - Patagonia Gritstone

Patagonia designed the Gritstone rock pants with mobility and abrasion resistance in mind, both important considerations when you’re tackling the cracks and off-widths that define a crucial element of trad climbing. The fit is low profile and the OppoSet adjustable waist can be customized as the wearer pleases. These pants include drop-in pockets with breathable mesh bags and reinforced construction through the knees.

What I like most about these climbing pants is the DWR coating which serves to provide for weather resistant, odor prevention, and breathability.
