The Yojimbo is a personal expression of one of my favorite eras in climbing; sport climbing in the mid nineties. The cut is all about function and economy; from the slim waist that lies smooth under a harness, to the slight volume in the thigh which allows good air circulation and tapers just the below knee to a point under the trademark saber stripe. This pant is a finely tuned machine. Recently this pant has garnered a new following of dedicated yoga practitioners. Because of the subtlety of their practice, these new Yojimbo fans very quickly point out details that their climbing brethren often miss. A cut that allows them to move their legs “without a catch” and the sleekness at the waist and knee that help refine alignment, are the key ingredients, that they say make the Yojimbo so perfect for their Yoga.
