I finally broke down and bought some Sitka Mountain pants this fall. Wow, what a difference over denims. I hike and climb a lot the freedom and stretch in them makes a world of difference. Expensive yes, worth it - to me yes. Since then I have also picked up a Traverse 1/4 zip shirt and 90% Jacket. They are also nice, but there is other stuff that is comparable and cheaper. As for the pants the only good options I found cost just as much.
