Best Bouldering Pants
I only wear these pants bouldering. I liked my first pair so much I bought a second and I am considering a third. They are durable and allow full range motion with zero restriction. They are a little spendy but when it comes to gear you get what you pay for.

Color fades quickly
Pants are comfy but the material on the Black color is quite poor and the color fades within a couple uses. Not even close to black anymore, quite disappointing given the price

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear the colour on your Cronin Cotton Pant faded so quickly, that’s understandably disappointing, especially when the fit and comfort are working well for you. While cotton‑based fabrics naturally soften and evolve with wear, the colour should still hold far better than what you’ve described. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be sharing this with our team as we continue to evaluate how our lifestyle pieces stand up to real‑world use.

Best pants!
The best all round pant I've ever had. I love the fit, comfort, durability, practicability and style. I wear them across all environments, and seasons.

Great, relaxed fit pants
I love these pants!! I have large thighs and struggle to find pants that fit me comfortably. Often I will have to buy pants 1 or 2 waist sizes too large just so I can be comfortable through the thigh. These pants leave plenty of room yet the waist still fits true to size; it's very freeing to not require a belt! The material is soft and perfectly stretchy. The style is awesome, love the extra pockets. I waited to review these until I'd washed them a few times as I've had issues with colourfastness with other Arcteryx fabric pants and after 4 washes I'm happy to say that this is not an issue with this line. I would buy these again for sure.

Good pants but runs large
Great pants for casual or bouldering and climbing but there is no way to tighten the waist so unless you wear belt which doesn’t make sense on climbing pants, you need to size down on the waist otherwise your pants will fall off
I’m 6 ft / 163, and a 32 R was too loose on me so I had to return it.
