  1. My friend and I got into climbing / bouldering at the same time, and we have always done it together. He got a new job recently and hasn't been able to go out as often as I would like to. We have been using some gymnastic type pads he got from somewhere (a little ghetto but they have kinda worked). Now that he is too busy to go with me all the time I was looking at buying a crash pad for myself. I have had a look around online, and I am a little overwhelmed by the choices. Is it worth spending the money for a real expensive one? or will a cheap one suffice? Any help / reccomendations would be much appreciated!

  2. Dude Drederek I am sure you look fabulous in your long johns and shorts, but I don't think I could pull that look off. I am considering those Zion pants. I went out to do some bouldering today after work and there was a guy out there who had some pants very similar to the Zion's but they were made by an ultralight hunting company called Kuiu and they were the Attack pants. I really liked the way they looked and the fabric used to make them. They also have 4 way stretch and are weather resistant. They have a few more pockets, but the price is a bit higher. So I am trying to decide between the two. Has anyone ever tried the Kuiu pants? This was my first time ever seeing them

     

    I have a pair of the kuiu attack pants which I use for climbing with great results. They are super soft and stretchy but indestructably durable. I could scrape em up and down concrete and they'd be fine. They breathe very well, and don't limit movement at all. A little more expensive at $150, but you are paying for the durability of the product. Mine are over a year old, they get used on average about 4 times a week, and they are still in mint condition. I will have them for years to come.
