seems like everywhere I look these days, i see more and more climbing specific clothing. with new companies popping up like strange blemishes after an evening with anticlimber, I have to ask...

why??????

Seems like all climbing specific clothing is
-overpriced
-really really really really ugly.

does anyone here routinely wear climbing specific clothing in public?

I just don't feel like climbing is mainstream or cool enough to warrant people making clothing to complement the lifestyle. Check this skateboarder out


trendy shoes, sagged pants, free flowing hair and a 'fuck it' attitude. Good! I like this guy

now exibit b.


do you people really go outside looking like this?

I had a classmate who wore kickers all the time....but he was a non-climber asian and canadian...so what the hell did he know.


I am not cool enough to wear climbing clothes anywhere but out at the crags...except t-shirts...but IMO they don't count.

manpris are in now, don't you know this. Before I answer I have to ask, what about climbing shirts/ I wear my garb collected from climbing events all the time because that free shit makes up 90% of my non-work clothing. I realize I am lacking completely in style and grace, however, I do not own any manpris but the shorts I wear to the crag are one of two pairs of short I own and they make it out the bar on occasion as well.

the real question is why rustyvag is noticing all this stuff...metrosexual perhaps?

and just as awful are the blue jeans at the crag.....why are non-climbing clothes allowed at the crag? oh yeah, cause climbing ain't a REAL sport....

denim or dammed pigfuck. jeans are where its at.

climbing specific clothing is neither.

I'm too cheap to buy climbing clothing......

Great! Now I'm not a real participant of a not real sport!
I'm going out to my pretend wall and fall off.....
Shoot me now.....

my sentiments exactly!

I though a Miguels t shirt and some ratty shorts were perfect climbing clothing.
