I had been leery about jeans for climbing since I started climbing. I was thought that they would be too warm and not stretch where I needed them to stretch. Other climbers I knew that climbed in jeans at times had only good things to say. All my climbing shoes are from So Ill so I thought it would only be appropriate to try to jeans to match my shoes. I can't say enough good things about these jeans. They look great, feel great, stretch where needed, and aren't too warm. They are also great for being lazy around the house or wearing them out with a nice button up shirt. I'll be getting another pair of a different color in the future.
