Long story short... on a short warm up climb, first time using these brand new pants ... maybe 40 feet total of easy mixed climbing total, but around midway up, left crampon slips off it's tiny hold, I don't fall but my slip dislodged a rock and the resulting slight drop of my left leg went right into this crip new exposed rock... cut right through the Synchro pants AND my cap 3 I had on under, tore up my knee slightly but nothing serious, still finished the climb, only noticed the blood soaked capline when I got home a bit later.
Now, my brand new pants have a nice ~2 inch square hole cut right below the knee... I don't have any strong thread or patches to sew em back up so I have to order some... Any suggestions for fixing them?
