Whether you are sending your boulder project in Bishop, hitting the crag in Indian Creek, or flashing a multi-pitch in Joshua Tree, here are our top choices for men’s climbing pants, so you can stay both unrestricted and warm in these cooler temperatures.

Black Diamond Forged Denim Pant

Great for days when your approach consists of walking a couple minutes from the parking lot to the climb, the Black Diamond Forged Denim pants are perfect for casual days, for harder days, and for days when you’re embracing your inner Chris Sharma. Stretchy and comfortable, these pants let you maintain your mobility for when you need it the most. With a tapered fit and an everyday look, they also work well for hanging out at the local brewery after you send your project.

Patagonia Quandary Pant

These lightweight pants are great for the warmer days when you still want something for the cooler nights. Great for hiking and backpacking, the Quandary Pant from Patagonia also maintains enough stretch for climbing, making them a great choice for longer approaches and for multi day climbing trips. With a DWR finish and 50+ UPF protection, these slim fitting pants work well for many different types of trips, allowing you to pack less clothing so you can pack more gear.

Mountain Hardwear Hardwear AP Pant

If you are looking for extremely durable pants on rough granite or gritty sandstone walls, look no further than the Hardwear AP Pant from Mountain Hardwear. These pants excel at holding up to abuse without losing their ability to stretch in technical situations. The pants include a snap to cuff them along with a reflector in the bottom, allowing them to be highly versatile as well. These pants are great for anyone who likes to enjoy many different sports throughout the year.

Prana Stretch Zion Pant

One of the top rated climbing pants out there for a reason, the Stretch Zion Pant does great on anything from big walls to home gyms. The pant is made so as to not limit your mobility when climbing and is treated with a DWR finish to keep you dry on lighter moisture days. The quick drying fabric allows the Stretch Zion to stay with you on overnights, even after sweating in it all day, and the UPF 50+ protection allows for the long days spent in the sun. With a variety of colors out there, they can be used for just a day around town as well.
