Tights Tuesday: Take 2

Prana Manpris, sleeveless t-shirts, and other trends in climbing fashion come and go. But one fashion fad will stay forever- LYCRA. This trend has been with the sport since its introduction in the late 80s- tights. Spandex, lycra, long underwear, and incredibly tight hipster jeans have become a staple of climbing fashion. In honor of tights, Todd "The Bod" Bartlow, Sebastien, Vitaly and other members of Berkeley Ironworks will be rocking their best tights on Tuesday night from 6pm til close. If you need help, this is a great site find tights. Come join this "tight" crew in a fun filled evening of bouldering and sport climbing.

  Tights Tuesday At Ironworks Every sport has major fashion trends. Bjorn Borg popularized the shaggy hair and headband phenomenon for tennis. Dennis Rodman made tattoos, piercings, and eccentric outfits acceptable in basketball. For climbing, one major trend has been with the sport since its introduction in the late 80s- tights. Spandex, lycra, long underwear, and incredibly tight hipster jeans have become a staple of climbing fashion. In honor of tights, Todd "The Bod" Bartlow and other members of Berkeley Ironworks will be rocking their best tights on Tuesday night from 6pm til close.

A big thanks to Sebastien as well as Vitaly for their great idea of promoting high fashion in the gym!
