In any weather/gym temperature above 55 degrees, I find my legs getting overheated and sweaty. I have worn them in a variety of temperatures, from freezing cold to blazing summer. This brings us to the main disadvantage of these pants: the lack of breathability. Regarding technical specs, these pants are made from Stretch Cotton Twill (98% Organic Cotton, 2 % Elastane). Let’s be honest: these baggier pants will not make your butt look as good as a tight pair of leggings would. Of course, that is not my main priority when it comes to climbing gear, but it is a factor.

I have come to prefer these pants for bouldering, as the harness plus these pants create a pretty strong wedgie effect.Īesthetically, I have asked myself if these pants could be considered “flattering” or not. Even if I tie the waist band tightly, the Notion pants don’t stay up above my belly button. When top roping or lead climbing, aka wearing a harness, I prefer to have higher waisted pants, so the harness doesn’t rub against my bare skin. At no point did the slight amount of extra fabric stemming from the looser fit interfere with my movement.Įveryone has different preferences when it comes to where they want their pants to hit on their waist. I actually enjoyed the less constricting fit on tough bouldering problems that require tight movement, I feel like I had extra mobility.
These pants are the right fit for people who prefer to climb in looser fitting, jogger type pants.
If you prefer tight fitting pants, similar to leggings, these pants may not be the best choice for you.
Between these two points, the fit as a whole is loose. There is elastic on the cuffs of the pants and drawstrings on the waist, so these areas are fitted and secure. The pants come in eight different colors, including light blue, plum, grey, navy, and army green. Black Diamond Notion Pants in Slate (PC: Black Diamond) Fit, Fabric, & Features
