Harness Original Pants
BUILT FOR THE WALL
Tested where it matters.
Designed in the north, refined through real days on rock.
I bought these trousers twice: once from a UK reseller in size S, on e directly from Rungne from Norway in size M. I like the first pair: it fits the description, looks good on, it's just a little tight. The second pair, which came directly from the company, looks like a knock off fake. It has different, more rough fabric, smaller pockets (both front and back), lower quality stitching, button finishes, zip pulls. Even though the listing advertised YKK zip the trousers came with SBS zip. Even though the listing advertised made in India it says these are made in China. I'm not sure if they moved manufacturing to a different place or if it's somehow actually fake, but I would like to return it, which will sadly cost me £25. I would recommend the original trousers, if you can get them. The Chinese version I received is lower quality in many different ways and I can't recommend that. When I reached out through the chat I was told there is nothing wrong with the pair I got and the complaints I'm making are due to my personal preferences and not a fault with the product, if I want to get rid of it it will cost £25. I'm not impressed. In the pictures size S, made in India, which I bought earlier from a different supplier is on the left, size M made in China which I'm reviewing now on the right.
I already have a pair in grey so the fact I got a second pair should say all it needs to. The stretch is incredible and whether I’m cutting around the office or climbing the wall they’re comfortable and enabling for everything I need to do.
They are a little tight on the hips, despite being well within the measurements for medium, but the leg length is perfect, they also let your legs breath which is great for the wall, however when walking to the wall you do feel the cold on your legs a bit.
Either way, very happy with them exceptionally comfortable just would be nice for an extra cm of give on the side panelling at the hips. But that’s just me.
I have to say, they are an absolute game changer! 🙌 Super robust, light as a feather and with just the right amount of stretch. Perfect for high kicks and dynamic movements on the wall! 💪 Whether you're bouldering or climbing - these trousers can do it all without weighing you down.
I had tried several pants and wasn't happy on the mobility I got with those, a year ago I got some pants that were instantly my favorites because of the great mobility. Still, I tried this pants and found out that the mobility was even better by a good margin.
Also, the customer service for Rúngne is really good if you have any doubts.
Hey Alfredo! Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re happy to hear the comfort is a win, and we totally get your points about the fabric and pocket visibility. We’ll reach out to you directly to see how we can make this right. Your thoughts are super helpful as we work to improve!
Great pants, flexible, comfortable, breathable and presentable. Length slightly too long and pockets are a bit too big/deep.
Hey Desmond! Thanks for the great feedback! We’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the pants and find them comfortable. We totally understand your concerns about the length and pocket size—your insights are super helpful. We’ll reach out to you soon to sort this out and ensure you’re completely happy with the product.
I normally wear size S or M, ordered M. Compared to other pants of a similar style that I have (e.g. Rab incline 32") these are INCREDIBLY tight, almost as if I'm trying to put on undersized leggings or something. Ive attached pictures of measurements between the two.
Other than that, the quality seems good.
Edit: 25$ for returns is ridiculous. That's almost a quarter of the item price, and a lot more than what I initially paid in shipping.
The fit:
I'm 193 cm tall with slim build and bought the L size, fits absolutely amazingly. Incredibly comfortable with zero movement resistance
The performance:
I already used them for bouldering at the gym for several sessions and also had them in Fontainbleu for a week basically living in the forest in them, had dirt, blood and chalk on them, still look like new after a wash. Slammed and scraped bouldering walls and rocks, still no visible damage.
Who would have thought you can be so happy about pants.
Incredibly lightweight, stretchy, and comfy. I ordered a size Medium, as per the sizing recommendations (I am 5'8"/173cm, 155 lbs/71kg). The inseam is a tad long, but it cuffs neatly and is only an issue when wearing chunky high top vans. It has room in the waist tapers from the knee down, but the design does not hamper any of my movement.
Shipping was 1 week to a small city in the PNW of the US, so decently quick.
Fitting my harness on was easy and smooth. Climbing in these pants was brilliant. It stretches in all the right places and I was never feeling any pinching in my joints. The advertised waterproofing was legitimate, as any water that is poured on it beads and rolls off. After getting most of the chalk off, the pants paired well enough with a nicer shirt and I was able to blend into work like I was wearing a normal pair of business casual pants.
Would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a versatile do-it-all pair of pants! Can't wait to travel with these and try climbing outdoors as well.
Nice but sizing is off. Size up.
Hey Charles, thanks for giving the Harness Original Pants a try! Sorry the sizing wasn't quite what you expected. We've sent you an email so we can follow up and help you find the right fit. Thanks again for the feedback!
Way small, size up for sure. Euro sizing in Harness pants is far off US sizing. Highballer pants fit correctly to US sizing.
Hey Charles, we appreciate you sharing your experience with the Harness Original Pants sizing. We've also reached out via email to see how we can help. Thanks again for the feedback!
im 178 cm, around 80-84 kg (depends on season) usually size 32 inseam, however in L, these fit me in the legs but need a belt for the waist. Great pants however ;)
Hey Jon, thanks for sharing your fit details! They're really helpful for others when choosing a size. Glad to hear you're enjoying the lightweight feel and that the leg fit works well for you. Appreciate the feedback on the waist fit, too! Thanks again for the support!
Great product, durable and super light.
I do really enjoy them, initially the size selected was too tight, but a size up and all of the discomfort went out. Awesome product looking forward to testing it more and see the durability.
By far one of the most comfortable and lightweight pants I’ve ever tried. I ordered the Harness Shorts and the Harness Original Pants, both in size M. The pants fit perfectly, as I normally wear size M, but the shorts were a bit too tight, so I had to exchange them for a size L.
I’m very satisfied with both products and with how customer service handled the size exchange. Luckily, I live near their store just outside Oslo, so it was easy to stop by and return them without any extra cost.
Thank you for the great service. It was my first time trying Rungne, and you exceeded my expectations without a doubt.
Pants feel great, and are super moveable. Only thing i would change is either make the pockets deeper, or add zippers to prevent items from slipping out.
Hey Daniel, thanks for the feedback! Glad the pants are working well. Your feedback has been forwarded to the team. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
Everything fit great and looks good! High quality clothing
Great pants
Love em, excited for many adventures in them
I’ve really enjoyed climbing in these so far. The material feels durable, is breathable and stretchy, and they just look good. For reference, I’m 5'10" and 245 lbs, and I went with the XXL for the larger thigh fit. The only potential drawback for some people might be the leg length — I do need to cuff the bottoms quite a bit. It doesn’t bother me, which is why I’m still giving them five stars.
Super thin and stretchy.
Amazing pants. Lovely material, super stretchy, light and extremely comfortable. Nice big pockets and very helpful zip-pockets
Nice, thin stretchy pants. Happy about them
We used the size guide and I would say it’s two sizes out. That is two sizes smaller than the guide advises. The trousers themselves are good
Hey Ann,
Thanks for your review, and we're glad you like the trousers! Sorry to hear the sizing didn’t match the guide. We’ll reach out to you directly to sort this out and help with the right size. Thanks for the feedback!
