Pants

Hey everyone
I'm relatively new to the urbex scene and I was wondering what you guys would recommend for leg clothing, whether it be shorts or longer stuff.
It'd be more for drains and abando's.
Thanks a bunch

Pft who wears pants exploring? Crazy kid..

Haha, normally I just wear black leather boots and that's it, but I want to mix things up a little

Aldi has a cheap version of those zipoff pants, theyre easy to zip off if youre about to get wet or dirty, easy to clean if you care, and pretty damn cheap. You just look like a dork in your short shorts if you do zip em off.. recently sat on a plane in my muddy short shorts after a long weekend.. felt sorry for those who had to endure my mud stink and white legs

Ah okay, thanks

I'll check them out sometime soon.
Are they tough? Can they withstand the kind of things that drains involve?

not overly tough but light and quick dry so you're not lugging too much extra weight around if they do get wet..
mine have a few holes from the non-drains. if you're crawling around in the dirt, jumping fences, sneaking ( i was recently told my pants are not stealthy enough.. ha) i'd go with jeans or something tough-ish
other thing about aldi is they have them every year but only for a week or two like all their non-food stuffs, look out for their hiking/camping sales

White leggings are probably your best bet for drains.

do jeggings come in white? that would be spectacular

I wear black Mossimo Jeans. Originally cost me $125. For whatever reason the first time I ever went to do an explore I decided to wear them and ripped a big hole in the knee climbing over a fence so now I just wear them as my primary urbex pants. I think the ripped knees actually look kinda cool.

I find jeans work well. Or jean shorts if it's summer.

steamidge · 25 Sep 2015, 11:07 am

Ah okay thanks you guys

I'll probably just wear some jeans then

white of course, and made of leather

Black leather chaps. I like the Broke Back Mountain look when I go to dark places at night.

I got myself some super cheap, on crazy sale cargo pants from K-mart. Extra pockets for stuff is handy
