All my climbing friends know that I prefer yoga pants in the gym and my Arborware pants outside. Mel prefers her Outdoor Goddess pants. Amy is downright famous for her Dr. Seuss duds but has recently been spotted in the buffalo jams that we bought her for her birthday in Custer. Mike always wears PrAna. And if you haven't heard my mumblings on the crag, guys, I like the Carharts, you look good in them, 'nuf said.
Aside from style these choices are important to technique. Last week I wore jeans one day and lost my feet on a route because I could keep my knee in my ear. Then the next day I couldn't hold my knee wedging maneuver because I was sporting my slippery REI hiking slacks.
What brought this on? This article that covers climbing fashion from neon spandex to trusty denim. Finally, a guide to cool.
