Type A or C trousers?

[john k]

Just about to get some chainsaw PPE sorted out, and am planning a jaunt to Jonesie's shortly but I'm still not sure what type of trousers I should get.

 

I know that I need type C for my training, but after that I won't be climbing.

 

How much of a PITA are type C trousers? Should I buy a pair anyway? Or would I be better off borrowing some and just buying a pair of type A for when I join the real world?

 

Thanks!

If you're not used to them they're a real PITA in the summer. If you are planning to not climb in the next 2-3 years get a pair of type A's. Stretch-Airs are pricy but last longer than any of the rest by far. Worth every extra penny. That's if you can borrow a pair of type C's for the course.
