Gear Review - Prana trousers (US pants)

I had bought a pair of Prana trousers this summer in the UK. Prana are a company making climbing clothes. I only bought them because they were half price. I'd previously thought that they were more a company for making fashionable clothes for the bouldering kids to wear- a sort of skate chique of the climbing world. However, I have always found finding climbing trousers difficult as I sometimes need to lift my foot ridiculously high and want to feel unhindered. Anyway the conclusion is that whilst they initially felt good and allowed free movement they were unable to stand up to a weeks crack climbing. I think the photos describe their effectiveness better than I can.

I may have been the heat. It may have been the excitment of The Creek. I may have been oblivion. We (Tom, Mark and myself) had to point out the fact that half of Tony's rear was hanging out of his pants.
