Notch Sonic Gen II Performance Climbing Pants Grey 36-38-32

Overview

Meet the Notch Sonic Gen II Performance Climbing Pants in Grey, engineered for climbers who demand mobility without sacrificing durability. These pants blend rugged comfort with smart detailing to support dynamic moves from reachy cruxes to controlled foot placements.

Built around high abrasion resistant Cordura 4-way stretch fabric, they offer a balance of flexibility and resilience that suits challenging routes and rough terrain. The knee area is reinforced with Armortex abrasion resistant fabrics, designed to resist scrapes and scuffs as you push through tricky sections.

Key features and how they help

• Cordura 4-way stretch fabric delivers freedom of movement and breathability for all-day wear.
• Knee protection manufactured with Armortex fabrics combines nylon, polyester, PU, and elastane for durable defense against scrapes.
• Zippered angled front pockets with pull tabs, plus a side cargo phone pocket, provide secure storage for small essentials.
• Elastic waistband with an aluminum button offers a clean fit and enhanced comfort during long sessions.
• Outer material with DRW finish repels water, oil, and dirt; the grey coloration helps keep the garment cooler in warm conditions.

Real-world use and feel

In the field, the pants move with you through scrambles, transitions, and overhangs. The stretch fabric reduces fatigue in sustained climbs, while the knee protection helps you maintain edges on rough rock or man-made routes. The storage pockets keep essentials within easy reach, whether you’re scouting the next lead or navigating a strenuous approach.

Fit, care, and versatility

Available in a 36-38-32 configuration, the Sonic Gen II pants are designed for a close-to-body feel that doesn’t restrict movement. For longevity, wash cold and air dry to preserve the DRW finish and fabric integrity. The combination of abrasion resistance, breathable fabric, and weather-repellent finish makes these pants a versatile option for crags, gyms, and outdoor adventures.

Bottom line

Notch offers a climbing-focused pant that emphasizes flexibility, protection, and practical storage. While results will vary by user and scenario, the Sonic Gen II pants provide a solid blend of features that may support more confident movement on varied terrain.
