9a Onsight and Classic Pants

Perfect climbing pants! They're super stretchy and don't limit my mobility at all. The fabric is light weight, so I can climb in them during summer without overheating. I also like to wear them while traveling because they're so comfortable. There are so many great colors that it's hard to pick just one! These pants run small relative to US clothing, so be sure to check the sizing chart (which is very accurate) before purchasing.

Kailas 9a climbing pants are really…

Kailas 9a climbing pants are really great! These are the best climbing pants I have tested. They are elastic, resistant and very light. I have been wearing them very regularly for one year and they are still in very good condition. I have worn them for interior and exterior boulder and for interior and exterior routes.
The elasticity at the knees is perfect for making movements in the three directions of space. They are not waterproof but they protect from the wind and they dry very quickly. The size is correct with the chart. The color and the design are really cool.

Kailas 9a climbing pants and shorts are great!

I waited a long time to finally pull the trigger and pick up a pair of the 9a Pants. I am definitely not disappointed! They are light, stretchy and durable. I have worn them to work, indoor and outdoor boulder, routes inside and outside as well as Alpine climbing. I was particularly impressed with how they perform in the Alpine. They are not necessarily waterproof but definitely kept me warm and dry in windy and rainy conditions. The fit is great, they are gusseted in all the right places. The shorts are particularly good for bouldering as the front hem is slightly lower than the back hem, protecting your knees from scrapes etc.

FUGA 3.0 BOA

I bought this pair of shoes out of curiosity as I’ve never owned any pair of shoes with the BOA lacing system.
I ended up using these shoes daily, for walking, jogging, doing cardio training at the gym, hiking and even for going out with friends, as I like the clean classic style without too many colors and logos. These shoes are extremely comfortable and the BOA system makes them super quick to put on and off. The Vibram Megagrip sole is the best in the market and it’s very long-lasting. The whole shoe is actually very durable, after using them for about 7 months they are still in excellent condition. TOP quality.
I recommend this model and I will definitely purchase another pair or the next version of this model.

Unparalleled sense of detail!

Love love love everything I tried from Kailas: from the trail running FUGA shoes to the Nebula GoreTex jacket, the super lightweight running vest or even the climbing pants and shirts, Kailas products have replaced in my wardrobe all my previous products from similar European brands!

Kailas Women's 9A Classic Pant

I absolutely love these pants, they do everything you would expect a climbing pant to do and they do it well. I love that I can wear them even when it is super hot out since I can sweat in them and still feel cool. I hate climbing in shorts because I am forever scratching my legs up, so having these pants to wear in the summer is the best. I also love how vibrant the colour ended up being. I’m pretty small and until these pants I had yet to find climbing pants that actually fit me and so had to resort to yoga pants that would get shredded pretty quickly. These pants hold up against sharp rocks and are seem to be pretty stain resistant. Will definitely be buying more in different colours!

Fuga Air Trail Running Hydration Vest Pack 8L

I love this running vest very much as it comes with the special All-round Dial Fit (ADF) system. Just uplift/press the button to adjust the vest according to the need during running. Simple, easy, quick & precise!

The vest comes with 2 unit of 500ml water soft flasks. I love the BI-fix system that prevents water in the water flasks from sloshing when they are getting lesser. Furthermore, I can carry another water flask at the back compartment, if needed.

It has many compartments in different sizes to cater different need. Personally, I love:-
1) the chest pocket for my phone- easy fast access to my phone;
2) the pocket with zipper at the back- I could keep important things to prevent loss; and
3) the wind breaker pocket- easy fast access to my wind breaker during running even though at the back.

Highly recommended for trail running & short hiking.

The Kailas Fuga Pro 3 is just…

The Kailas Fuga Pro 3 is just remarkable. What i like most is the fitting that fit your legs well and provide enough room for your front toes. Not too much, Not too little.

Grip is excellent for mix trail but I will prefer Fuga EX Trail Running Shoes for more muddier terrain.
It is light yet durable.
Easy to clean.
The lacing system is good to use as well. Dont have to tie shoes anymore

Color are nice and cool!

Kailas Fuga EX trail running shoe

Kailas Fuga EX trail running shoe is the best trail running shoe that I have ever owned. It is super light, but still providing good support to the user.

While Fuga EX doesn't have the best grip comparing to some heavier shoes, that's okay. Every shoe is designed to serve different purpose. This shoe is tailored for fast trail running, so it is okay to trade off some grips for greater benefits, such as weight cut.

It also has some special features which I have never seen in any other running shoes, for example the locking system. At first I thought that the locking system is for aesthetic purposes only, but I was wrong. It helped me to look my foot in place and that prevented my toe from hitting the shoe cap, thus no more discomfort or black toe nail.

This shoe is a surprise to me. It is definitely my choice for trail run competitions.

Bought the 9a Classic climbing pants…

This is my experience. I Bought the 9a Classic climbing pants and i absolutely love it!

Unfortunately, when I decided to get another 2 pairs and made another purchase online for both XS sizes, I was told the sizes no longer available AFTER making the full payment via credit card.
They did not refund my money, and did not reply emails for the past 2 weeks. The support and customer service department did not reply any of the emails.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Kailas 9a climbing pants

Kailas 9a climbing pants. I own several pairs which I use for sport climbing and bouldering. The Kailas pants are the only brand of climbing pants I prefer to wear. They don’t feel tight and there’s freedom of movement for your legs when climbing. My oldest pair of 9a is about 5yrs old and they don’t show any signs of wearing out. I like the big selection of colors and I will be getting more of them in the future.

Kailas Women's 9A Classic

Kailas 9A Climbing pants are my favorite pants for climbing. I have 2 pair. The colors are great and they wash up really well. They are the perfect weight for climbing in Tucson AZ, fall through late spring. I am 5'2" and weigh 125 pounds. I ordered a medium and they fit me well and are not tight. They are very stretchy and comfortable both to hike and climb in. I had a problem with a seam ripping and customer service has been very responsive. They got back to my email in just a few days. Please be sure you pay attention to the sizing chart, which is in cm's when deciding on a size for your pants. A small is not the same fit as a small in the US. The 9A classics seem to have a roomier fit so if you are curvy, they might be a better choice for you,
