They are lightweight and are great for summer climbing with a slight stretch in the material which is made of 97% cotton and 3% elastane. The waist has a zip front, a small button on the inside and also a tie cord so the waist can be adjusted tighter if need be. These trousers also include a drawcord around the ankles, allowing to wear them tight around the ankles whilst climbing so you can see your feet for perfect footwork, or as a standard leg to cover footwear, or even rolled up to create ¾ length trousers.Also to add to the praise of these trousers, they have pockets either side and two pockets behind which are cleverly disguised as a seam, and a small zip pocket on the right leg. Although I would recommend these for summer climbing, I have also worn these in the winter with a pair of warm leggings underneath.

| The Black Diamond Credo Pants being put to the test |
What Black Diamond say:
“Back Diamond recommended the Credo pants use for bouldering”.
This is true but they are also great for sport and trad climbing too as they fit snug under a harness! Because they look so great, you don’t have to wear them for just climbing. They can be worn as casual everyday trousers too.
Colours come in Eclipse (very dark blue), After Dark (very dark brown), Denim (blue denim) and Lipstick (pinky/red).
To get an idea on the sizing; a medium fits a size 10.
The price depends on the retailer you buy from and will cost anywhere in between £58 - £65
