Ranked #166 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants
June 29, 2011
I love these pants HOWEVER - WARNING - HOWEVER - Prana recently changed the material that is being used to make these pants. After a long, loving, and very abuseful relationship with these pants they keep coming back to me and I talked my climbing partner into buying a pair from BC but his are TOTALLY DIFFERENT than mine. His DO NOT STRETCH AT ALL!!!!! NO STRETCH - NO BUENO - His are not nearly as comfortable nor useful. He does a lot of Yoga and stated this would not work for that, nor climbing. Wait to see if Prana changes back to their old material before purchasing.
