I think on WC's own website they call it apparel. It doesn't bother me that much as an americanism, but I guess "clothes" does the same job perfectly well!
In reply to Steve nevers:
I also tend to prefer belts to drawstrings, I have big thighs and a bum so 34 is actually a bit too big for my waist but I invariably need to go to that size so that trousers aren't too tight over my thighs, and in which case then a belt seem to more comfortably hold them around my waist than a drawcord. But I'm sure WC could fairly say that they offer different styles to different people. The torque pants do have belt loops, and enough of them to work. Outdoor trousers that don't have enough belt loops are a bugbear of mine!

> "cragging clothing" and "mountain clothing". I've been doing it wrong all these years.
I'm sure you haven't, but I simply mean mountain clothing is stuff I'd go UK winter or Nordic ice climbing in, and cragging clothing is stuff I wouldn't. For many a year my summer cragging clothing has been any old t-shirt and any old pair of jeans or cords (or shorts) as I'm sure it is for most people. I don't think I've ever bought a pair of specific climbing trousers made of cotton - just made do. But the stretchiness of the Balance pant (or I'm sure similar offerings from other brands) makes them well worth considering.
