PEAK SUMMIT PANT
Design Overview
How could we create a pair of climbing pants for outdoor trad rock climbers that need maximum breathability, frontal abrasion resistance, and comfort while carrying their climbing equipment?
Inspired by rock climbing I designed an outdoor rock climbing pants for hot environments that allowed for the athlete to regulate their temperature and adapt their level of abrasion resistance as needed. Using an existing climbing pants to pattern and inspiration from workwear pants, this design brings the durability and comfort to the outdoor space.
