What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Nice cut, stretch cotton fabric works well, much better durability than the previous venga pants which went through at the knee in no time. Nice zipped thigh pocket is great for a topo or your mobile phone while climbing in a harness. Some elastic in the waist, but I use a belt too.
Only slight negative is that they are slightly (1 cm or so) too short in the leg (Size 34 Reg, for my 186cm 76Kg frame).

Still look great after a year of constant use. Wash really well and soften over time. Good fit owing to cinch type belt. Great for Fall climbing season and winter yoga.
I find them a little warm for summertime yoga.
Love 'em.

Nicely articulated at the knees and groin so they feel very comfortable while climbing. The size 30 are very snug around the waist and bum compared to the same size Rab or Mountain Equipment pants though.

Disadvantages
Not robust
Size 32 Regular seems quite loose and long compared to other pants I have of the same size.
At 179cm/75kg, I would consider the Short version next time, and perhaps even size 30, though of course it's hard to tell (haven't tried other sizes).
Though they do have cords to tighten the bottom ends - a very nice feature (otherwise I would almost certainly return them and maybe try other sizes).
Other than that, the pockets are very well cut and very sizeable. The zipped leg pocket is not positioned super well - with a harness on, the zipper is covered by the leg loop, though it could be related to the size issue I have with them in general, and is not a big issue anyway - it's easy to adjust the leg loop a bit to reach the zipper.
They seem quite durable (though I haven't had them for long enough to really tell), and are fairly comfortable and stretchy overall.
