In honor of Earth Day, we are featuring a pair of pants that Mother Nature would most certainly approve: Tree climbing pants.

When the grandfather of the tactical pants, the rock climbing pant, failed to impress, Arborwear created a pant ready to handle the swift movements of scaling trees while packing enough durability to fend off branches and twigs that can get in the way.

A blissful marriage between a canvas work pant and the rock climbing paint, these 12.5-ounce canvas bad boys also host a Rugged Gusset™, industrial stitching and double knees.

But who wears tree climbing pants aside from the obvious?

Well, Arborwear’s “Pants in Action” illustrates that indeed some other interesting folks do. There’s a wild mushroom hunter (whose mushrooms we won’t be eating, no offense!), an Irish motorcyclist, an organic goat farmer, and the list goes on…

So, today when you’re out hugging trees, why not ponder climbing one. It will give you a spectacular view of the natural world, and it will connect you with the environment in a whole new way.

Now it’s time to watch someone try to climb a tree *without* the right pants. Huge mistake, right?
