To become an accomplished climber, it's essential to make the right choice of clothing, especially when it comes to pants. Pants are essential for comfort and performance during your climbing sessions. Alpinstore is here to guide you in your search for the ideal pants to accompany you as you progress.
When it comes to choosing a pair of climbing pants, several criteria need to be taken into account to guarantee optimum freedom of movement. First of all, it's important to take into account your personal preferences in terms of pant shape and design. However, it's also crucial to adapt your choice to your climbing style. Indeed, if you're climbing outdoors, it's advisable to opt for suitable pants, with features such as windproof material, better protection and practical pockets. For indoor climbing, lightweight pants or shorts may suffice.
