I'm about to finalise the design on some jeans before I hand it over to the manufacturer, is there anything in the standard 5 pocket jeans that you find irritating or non conducive to climbing? Belt loops, pocket depth, zipper vs Button closure that kind of thing.

Before you think "oh no not more climbing jeans" these things will blow your mind, bringing more tech to the table than arcteryx or patagonia. I'll make a post about how you can get some and why these things really are special closer to launch.

You know they already make special jeans for climbing (kinda expensive) but they stretch like non-jeans and work really well for climbing. Think jeans that feel and look just like normal jeans but function like spandex. Me and some friends meet the owners onetime out climbing in a boulder field.

I'm well aware of these overpriced glorified skinny jeans, they will be garbage compared to these.

My favorite climbing pant are made by Gramicci, and have a full circumference belt, but they are made of a heavy cotton and really soak up the water. It would be nice to have some type of pants that have the built in belt and are made of a tech fiber.

Snow Flake · Joined Apr 2016 · Points: 0 Sep 6, 2018 · Salt Lake City encoding='utf-8' ? Are these sport, trad, or big wall jeans? If sport, maybe an integrated harness? Trad, throw some gear loops around the knees and ankles. Big wall, do the gear loops, but also add a butt flap simplify pooping on a portaledge.

Andrew Rational · Joined Aug 2018 · Points: 10 Sep 6, 2018 · Unknown Hometown encoding='utf-8' ? I’ve always wanted pockets in roughly the same location (and size) as the pockets on traditional Carhartt carpenters dungarees, but with a zip or flap closure, not open like the Carhartt ones.

Why do you have to wear a belt? If it's a matter of fit then you shouldn't have this issue with our trousers, if it's some other reason please let me know.

I am a 34+/35- waist, with a 34-35 inch inseam. Manufacturers must think we don't exist because it is difficult to find that sizing. 34 waist is too snug, 36 is loose so I have to wear a belt. The built in belt is usually low profile enough it doesn't bother me under a harness. But even a nylon Bison belt with a plastic buckle irritates me under a harness.

Those come later. Haha.. More familiar to women? Wtf does that mean? Like women would get confused by these unfamiliar "jeans"? Leggings are a lazy solution to women's specific fit, and there's already tons of legging options out there. When you say "there is no reason women could not wear these jeans and have them fit perfectly", are you working to design a truly unisex jean, taking into account t the fit issues and sizing extremes of both men and women? Or are you designing men's pants and just calling them unisex?

Design some climbing pants, jeans or otherwise, that fit women's bodies without sacrificing any functionality and I'm on board.

Leggings are a lazy solution to women's specific fit, and there's already tons of legging options out there. There are indeed lots of options out there, the reason we decided to release leggings is not due to lazyiness it's the simple fact that every woman we talk to insists that the most comfortable thing they own is their leggings womens just seem to really like their leggings. These aren't just some lazily imported and branded generic leggings ours have a very unique selling point one i will reveal closer to the time.

If talks with the manufacturer don't go as well as I hope there will be womens specific fit jeans, at the moment though it shouldn't be needed.

Duluth Trading Co. firehose flex cargo pants..... Interesting. The pockets are bigger than what I was wanting, though, and they don’t make my size.

Pnelson · Joined Jan 2015 · Points: 595 Sep 6, 2018 · Unknown Hometown encoding='utf-8' ? Reinforced knees like in Carhartts or Arborwear, but with much more flexibility would be great.

Greg D · Joined Apr 2006 · Points: 883 Sep 6, 2018 · Here encoding='utf-8' ? Fit and freedom of movement are most important to me. I have a really hard time finding a good fit. I usually have to go big in the waist to fit my thighs and wear a belt. The best fitting jeans are Levi baggy, which are not baggy on me. Today’s skinny look is out of the question. I’d even pay extra for a custom fit.
