sick of trashing pants 28-Apr-2004 At 10:35:29 AM Setha

The MD climbing shorts (called the Hummer - $79.95) are great for bouldering in, they are so loose, cool and comfy. I'm disappointed though that they are the only climbing attire for the bottom half of your body that MDs have released in their new winter gear, there's no way I'll be wearing those in cold wintery conditions!! As for MD pants, the Mekongs are ok for climbing in, nice and light and reasonably durable, but useless for bouldering because of crotch pull, but ok when wearing a harness. The MD Havanas are made from lycra, and are heaps stretchy, great for all forms of climbing, but not very durable.

I still give my vote to the Makalus, if you don't like the heaviness of the full length pants then get the Traddaks .75, they are a lighter (because they're shorter!), have no crotch pull, articulated reinforced knees and are tough.
