Someone on another site is having trouble getting signed up on summitpost so I am posting this question.
I've really taken to glissading on my past few climbs, but during my last glissade I ripped open my pants, which were just Columbia hiking pants at that point. I want to know what is durable enough for this kind of activity, but still not overwhelmingly heavy so as to be too hot in active conditions. In would help if such pants could be found at Sports Authority, having a sizable give certificate to there, but REI or other online retailers are just as welcome....thanks.
