Escalade Pant - Men's

Having the crotch of your climbing pants split halfway up that 11.d isn't rad (especially for your belayer). Mountain Hardwear made the Men's Escalade Pants out of durable nylon and added a reinforced seat and knees. Before you think that reinforcement fabric would make you sweat like a madman, you should know that Mountain Hardwear treated the nylon twill cloth with a molecular process that allows vapor to escape before it becomes sweat. Articulated knees and a gusseted crotch help with high-feet moves, while micro-chamois-lined side hip panels prevent harness rub. These UPF-50-rated climbing pants block harmful rays.

Bottom Line: When your pants buckle under the strain of heel hooks and rock scrapes, reach for the Escalades.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Good, well made, versatile trousers.

I would have to contradict everything said in the previous review. I've had mine now for 4, maybe 5 years and they are still going! The fabric is tough and deals well with the abuse of general climbing, mountaineering and hill walking but is still breathable and fairly quick drying
For me the cut is excellent! Nice and close fitted but totally unrestrictive (although obviously it won't fit everyone! Try before you buy!)
The design is sleek and simple, without loads of unnecessary pockets to clutter them up. They have a built in belt/ waist adjuster thing which works well enough but a normal style belt would be easier. They also have elastic draw cords around the ankle.

Overall they are a great trouser for all round use. I've used mine down the climbing wall, cragging, scrambling, hill walking, multipitch mountain routes and layer under my waterproof trousers for winter climbing and walking.

I have some from last year and they do have a belt. Descent pants. You'll enjoy them.

Made in Vietnam, and made terrible.

By:

These pants are made in Vietnam and made absolutely horrible. The sizing is completely off. The fabric is less than par. I would rather these companies not make pants at all then have to order and THEN return them. What a pain in the butt. Save yourself the time and buy some nylon pants at a retail store for god's sake.
