Try stair climbing in them at home. You don’t have to “break them in” to know if they’re going to fit right. Clean them and treat them with what they recommend.   CLOTHING -  You want a Nylon Pant with 4-way stretch. It is better than Polyester & Spandex.  Kuiu- Attack, Tiburon  http://store.kuiu.com/attack-pant-p/40001.htm http://store.kuiu.com/tiburon-pant-p/11001.htm First Lite- Corrugate Guide http://www.firstlite.com/corrugate-guide-pant.html Prana - Zion http://www.prana.com/stretch-zion-pant.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwsb-vBRCLj7TvqpGx_MoBEiQALgFGnkR8YCIun5eKSWqu60uc-xy5qvOpNUokMGa9nbPRyRAaArNj8P8HAQ Kuhl - Renegade http://www.kuhl.com/search/?q=renegade&gclid=Cj0KEQjwsb-vBRCLj7TvqpGx_MoBEiQALgFGntkXv1-6ov95cs3ldUN93KH8JQ4coVHT5QeZ0RVIs4UaAgVz8P8HAQ Sitka - Ascent  https://www.sitkagear.com/products/solids/pants/ascent-pant Swazi  http://www.swazi.co.nz/product-category/mens/pants/ Mammut Courmayeur “Stove-pipe Skinny Jeans” http://www.backcountry.com/mammut-courmayeur-advanced-softshell-pant-mens-mam0661 RAINGEAR -  “You need pit zips in your rain gear.” -Aron Firstlite - Cocona     http://www.firstlite.com/cocona-technology/ eVent     http://www.eventfabrics.com/products#waterproof ^Breathe Better than Gore Tex      Kuiu Chugach Marmot- Precip http://marmot.com/search/precip?&mkwid=s5APGyzcY_dc%7Cpcrid%7C83677948960%7Cpkw%7Cmarmot%20precip%7Cproduct%7C%7Cpmt%7Ce&gclid=Cj0KEQjwsb-vBRCLj7TvqpGx_MoBEiQALgFGnvNaE_wI0KiRM77MRwV88yhLnE1AGtbchnRJVhmK7OoaAsZN8P8HAQ OTTE http://www.ottegear.com Kryptek - Koldo http://www.kryptekstore.com/Koldo-Rain-Jacket-Charcoal-P60.aspx Sitka - Cold Front  https://www.sitkagear.com/products/solids/jackets-vests/coldfront-jacket Swazi - Tahr - http://www.swazi.co.nz/shop/jackets/tahr-anorak/ Helly Hanson - http://shop.hellyhansen.com/us/products/men/rainwear/ Rivers West - like a dry suit. “Only wear it if you’re not moving.” - Aron http://www.riverswest.com WHEY PROTEIN -  Progenex - http://progenexusa.com/product-category/supplements/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PaidSearch&gclid=Cj0KEQjwsb-vBRCLj7TvqpGx_MoBEiQALgFGnqqfupLLxkh_YrNT6NC4DWmKnBzcdyhPUQeSa2YNFisaAooG8P8HAQ MTN OPS -  Magnum - http://getmtnops.com
