From corsets to high heels to lead-based makeup, fashion hasn’t historically been kind to women. But there’s perhaps no greater transgression in modern women’s clothing design than the universal lack of pockets.
In the face of this, we have good news. Designer Jeein Shin wants to give you pockets. “Two satisfying deep front pockets,” she says. And that’s just one of the oft-overlooked features the Korean-born, Los Angeles-based designer baked into the Hemp Send Pants, the first product from her newly-launched women’s adventure apparel brand, Comfortable Adventures (formerly Shiner Goods).

What makes Shin's designs so smart is the simplicity. There’s the high-rise elastic waistband with hidden drawcord. The center back belt loop for attaching a chalk bag or portaging a climbing shoes on the approach. Double-layered fabric at the knees and rear for durability. The slim fit that magically accommodates larger hips. And the comfortable, natural hemp fiber construction that makes her pants suitable both for big bouldering moves and big Sundays on the couch.
At risk of sounding hyperbolic, these may just be the best climbing pants I’ve ever worn. Make that the best pants I’ve ever worn, full stop.
