I am 6ft and felt that the pants were short on me. The pants are very comfortable! but for AR heavyweight durable cotton pants - the material was surprisingly thinner than expected. They are a little thicker than the regular Cronin. The Cronin AR will give you less wrinkles compared the Cronin I guess, but for the price ($$$) I was a little underwhelmed. The front pockets have this mesh netting material, it felt as though a pen or car keys could get tangled up. Just a fragile impression. Although these pants are advertised as "Workwear" I had to return them because the length was too short and I wasn't confident in the durability, long- term.
I tried these pants in an indoor bouldering session. I'm 6' tall and about 190lb, and the fit was what I would expect. 32-R fit perfectly. They're fairly loose, and the material was stretchy. I found them very comfortable for the use, the fit felt great and they never interfered in what I was doing. I can't speak to the durability but the fabric feels like it should hold up well. They were fairly warm, they are not a light duty pant for sweltering heat, but they're flowy enough that it still works in pretty warm conditions. I was wearing them indoors in a fairly warm environment and had no issues. For me, I don't totally love the "sea salt" color, but it does sure hide chalk, it's almost the same color. :) I'll probably grab a pair in a different color, but it's purely a matter of taste.
These pants overall are a significant upgrade to the current Cronin pant family. The fabric is very comfortable and durable yet functional and stretchy. The actual drape and fit is loose if you size up. I am normally a size 34 W but ordered a 36 to get that baggy look and this was the right choice for me. If you are worried about them being too warm they are not. Very similar heat experience to the Cronin. The only con I will give is removing the left side phone pocket but to be honest it’s not something to worry about or care about that much. They feel in hand like a very premium piece to rotate in and out with other pants. For my climbers, overall the articulation is good. The Konseal are still a better overall pick but these are a good mix of climb and go to the bar type of vibe. They do not hinder the top of your articulation range when moving or bending yet still give significant and I mean significant abrasion protection.
Bought these for my boyfriend and they fit him PERFECTLY, they are true to size in terms of waist and I would agree that if folks have higher hip bones the length might be odd. But if you ride low, they fit well. They are quite thick and durable, a little noisy when walking in them but I expect they will wear in quite nice.
Love the soft, easy fit and durability. Have in two colours. Used for hiking, climbing and just general every day use. Plenty of pockets deep enough for stuff and keep an iPhone pro max secure. Fits true to size. Thanks for doing in short sizes so that I can find a perfect fit and don't need to adjust.
Fits to size and the waist band comes with strings. I’m 6’0 and 34” and the pants are just the right length. There is lots of room to move around and the material is lightweight but durable. Also love the sea salt colour!
Super comfortable, durable pant that I have used for everything. Has great mobility for climbing and has stood up to the abuse for several seasons. Have bought several pairs.
Love the feel and quality of these trousers, having tried them on in Store (London). However, I'm 190cm, and the regular size is too short. Why not a Long version of these?
Great style and fit. The material is comfortable and I'm excited to test the durability.
Best pair of trousers ever! 6th pair of Cronans! Great fit, comfortable and great look!
