I LOVE this pant. I've been wearing these pants none stop since they were released. In that time I've worn them around the world. From climbing in Greece and Croatia, walking the streets of Hokkaido in winter, in Moab, SLC and Baja, 30 hour journeys involving planes, trains and taxis and everything in between. They do EVERTHING! They are slightly stretchy but tough as nails. I wear them rolled up when it's hot and full length when it's cold. Best part they are cotton so no weird plastic feeling. Get these pants!
What I like and don't like about these pants: LIKE: the stretch material, wide cut, easy stain removal, internal waist-ties, pockets where things don't inadvertently fall out. Literally able to do anything in these pants. DISLIKE: Can't find a size medium in the black. I can go about 3 minutes before I get my pants dirty and these pants are able to be worn in a variety of settings from outdoors to indoors, but not when visibly dirty!
I am such a fan of these pants, stretchy, wide cut etc. It’s the baggiest stretchies pants I own in a good way. BUT I like to have my hands in my pockets a lot I am not the biggest fan of the mesh in the pockets. (me personally) it’s like the material in swim trunks. If we could change the mesh material in the pockets I will buy like 2 more pairs.
I bought these pants in black. I love the fit and especially the stretchy waistband. Comfort is essential for me. My only issue with these pants is that the fabric is a magnet for pet hair and any other fuzzies I encounter. If the material were improved to address this problem, these pants would be perfect and I would buy more.
These pants are sweet! They are very comfortable and lightweight yet much more durable than typical thin climbing pants. Very comfortable and moves well. These are great for everything from bouldering to multi-pitch cracks. My new all-round Yosemite pants!
Great for climbing or reclining. Comfy cotton with plenty of room to move. Great pockets. A little on the hot side if it’s warm out. I might like a cinch cuff on these because the wide leg can get in the way a little.
If you are unsure about getting the dirtbag pants then you might have a screw loose. These pants are just as comfortable as sweatpants but with the durability of carheart (some might say even stronger). Get them!
These pants are incredibly comfortable and good quality. I can wear them everywhere. They are the perfect pants whether you’re climbing or just lounging at home. I will be buying another pair sooner than later!
I am always in pursuit of the best pair of pants to go from chill to hill. In have found just that in the dirtbag pant. they look and feel and most of all fit awesomely! buy them. black diamond rules
I own two of these pants and use them for everything - I really like the fit and they work for pretty much everything I do. I imagine that where I am I can use them all year round too.
