I'm really excited to try out a bunch of trews from this test. I've always had major issues with getting anything that allowed sufficient hip movement. Many years ago I found a specific E9 pant that allowed freedom of movement for me but after a year or two they started falling apart and E9 had stopped making them. Since then I've tried on dozens of trousers and still not found one that works. In the end I resorted to getting trousers custom-made based on the old pair of E9s but then ran into the issue of having to source appropriately durable material (which I failed to do and hence these pairs only lasted 1 year or regular use before they started disintegrating).
Thanks very much for writing the article!
Or a pair of Ron Hills 🤣
3rd rock in the list at the top but not in the article? Which is a shame as they are some of my faves and would have made a good benchmark to compare with others
I actually have a couple of pairs of 3RD ROCK jeans in for review/video at the moment. We're going to publish these in a separate review as they're certainly at the jeans end of the spectrum rather than trousers. These should be out soon. The new 3RD ROCK denim is really good, as a bit of a teaser.
3RD ROCK just published this overview of their latest climbing products: https://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/clothing/3rd_rock_core_climbing_collection-13958
I'll also remove them from the brands list on this review, thanks for spotting that.
Looks like a comprehensive review, surprised not to see Moon Cypher pants in the test though, are these no longer on the market?
