3rd Rock Women's Apache Reinforced Climbing leggings

These are very popular; they always seem to be sold out.

Sometimes you want a break from wearing your old baggy climbing trousers and want to feel more feminine and show off your curves. Normal leggings from the high street just won’t do. We’ve all seen those women wearing those thin material leggings that stretch on the bottom and become almost see-through, unaware they are showing their knickers to the world. And within minutes of climbing in your leggings you find you have caught them on a sharp bit of rock and made a hole in them already.

This is where the Apache leggings come in. They have a reinforced bum and knee area. They are abrasion proof patches which protect your delicate bottom from harsh wear and tear when sitting around at the base of the crag. The reinforced knee areas also act as a good protection when knee-baring and from general scraps. No more scratched up knees!  (Maybe I should just climb properly in the first place!) The leggings are made from organic cotton/lycra, which makes them stretchy, so you won’t feel restricted.
“Makes your behind look fine” is what they say.

If I had the chance I would have ordered the size up, as the size small is slightly tight around my upper legs (So you get a better idea; at the time of wearing these I was a UK size 10), but they can still be worn comfortably.
