[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the pants had a wonderful fit. They weren’t too long so i didn’t trip over my feet while bouldering or rope climbing. They didn’t ride up while i was wearing a harness. My gym has very abrasive walls and they handles them very nicely. The item is for anyone of any levels as they are a wonderful pants regardless of the skill level. My only compliant for the pants is that the front pockets are shallow. I would recommend either adding a zipper to the pants to keep important things in place when approaching climbs outside.
These are apparently only cute if you're a skinny model. They didn't look good on my athletic, "normal" body. I normally wear size small, but these were very tight on the waist. They are also ankle pants; I am short and wish they were a bit longer. I don't recommend buying these. BD just makes them look good in the photos. For the price, the material could be better. I like BD, but sorry, these pants just aren't cutting it.
super durable, comfy, stretchy, protect my legs from scratches.
Pros: I love these pants. I receive compliments each time I wear them, without exception. The color is gorgeous, they’re insanely comfortable, and I can wear them for most activities, including boring errands. The flexibility is awesome and I appreciate the depth of the pockets. Cons: They run short. They expose my ankles and it looks a little awkward with most shoes. The elastic waist is a little too tight compared to the rest of the pants. Also, the pants are not water resistant whatsoever.
The sequence pants are amazingly comfortable and versatile. I absolutely love the material the fit the colors and especially the softness of the waistband. The only negative is that the inseam is 29-30. 5 inches. Why are we only making these great pants for short people? I’m not even real tall at 5’ 7” but they hit an inch above my ankle. It’s cute with sandals but I’d like the option of a longer cut so I’m not wearing high waters. Please please make them longer!!
Love these! The extra bit of elastic on the waist makes them so comfortable, and the fabric is perfect for climbing, hiking, traveling, etc. Will buy in multiple colors. I only wish they were slightly more fitted at the ankle.
These pants fit great and have good pockets and shape! I wear these around town and at the crag. The waistband is comfy with the extra bit of fabric, and I can see myself wearing these into the ground.
I have always like Black Diamond pants. These fit really well and are super stretchy, and they are very flattering. I am sure I could climb in these, but I will probably use them for more than that.
These pants are awesome. I've climbed in them a few times, and they don't restrict your movement at all it's amazing.
I sized down in these and love how they feel and look, I can move freely in them and they’re flattering
