So, I guess you're tired of wearing jeans huh? Don't wanna ruin your yoga pants? Getting holes in your pants, we've all been there!
Climbing is a brutal activity. It requires you to hike through thick brush, scrape up against jagged rocks, and then do a hand-heel-match...
Quite simply your average pair of pants won't stand up to this abuse!
So, what can you do to remedy this?
- Wear shorts (bye-bye knee skin)
- Pack multiple pants for each trip
- Make all your pants one-time use
- Quit climbing because it's too hard and no fun
Enter prAna.
Disclaimer: this is absolutely not a clothing review. It's impossible to get this stoked about clothing. This is 100% a gear review.
