Very lightweight. Perfect for long trad routes. Must wash in cold water to keep from shrinking and dry on the line.

I bought these because I needed something to wear on my bike rides. The Chrome ones are my favorite that I've tried on, but who has [$] laying around for those? NOT ME! Anyway... These are pretty descent knickers. They fit well and the material is breathable so I don't overheat and the pants/shorts/shants don't get soaked with sweat and bog me down. I really like these knickers overall. The main con is that the pockets kind of suck. The insides of the pockets are made with that mesh junk, which I fear my keys are going to tear through one of these days. Also, only one pocket zips shut. Why just one? Put zippers on all of them! Still, I bike to work and back everyday and I haven't lost my wallet or phone yet. If this company improves on the pockets, this knicker will be perfect. But yeah, they do the trick if you're riding, out in the heat, or just lounging around. I haven't had any problem with chafing or cheap material or seams tearing, which is nice. Oh, one more thing, they should add belt loops to these things! Seriously! The pockets and lack of belt loops are what kept the review at a 3.

I'm pretty short for my size so I bought them as regular long pants. They work great.

Great pants for rock climbing. A little tight around the waist, but not uncomfortable.

I took two pair of these to Joshua Tree for a week of all-day, everyday climbing. I was stoked about the fit immediately, but a few things made themselves apparent: First, these things didn't smell. After days of climbing in the heat and generally wearing them for everything all day, they didn't smell bad, which is a huge plus. Second, the placement of the cargo pocket on the right side is perfect. It's easily accessible while wearing a harness, and my sunglasses never got in the way while I had them stuffed there. Third, cracks, chimneys, slab, uncomfortable benches, these knickers got through it all without a tear or even a thread out of place. I love these knickers; you should buy some.

I found it difficult to coordinate shirts with the vivid mango color. While I liked the fit and styling, I returned to knicker. other people with more style and clothing confidence might not have this problem.
