Additional Info

Leda pants, a cult favorite for the past fifteen years, are one of the first pieces of women-specific climbing clothes made. Modeled on, and named for, the favorite climbing pants of a beautiful girl Verve founder Christian Griffith met in a climbing gym, these pants are tough enough to stand up to sharp rock, flexible enough for morning yoga, and soft enough to curl up in. The simple design focuses on superior fit and has no pockets or side seams while the extra stretchy fabric guards the perfect shape of this pant even in heavy use.

A great blending of fit, function and fabric, the Verve Leda pant has become a timeless silhouette which ages uniformly and gracefully. This is crucial: as the Leda transcends seasonal styles, you'll find yourself loving and living in the Leda pant for a dozen years to come. In it, you'll find an intimacy of details, and an evocative awakening of emotions; it dovetails into what is important in your life and adds a kind of simplicity that makes sense.

I love all 3 of the Verve Leda bottoms that I have: shorts, capris, and pants. The pants are perfect for lounging at home or throwing on after a workout. They drape nicely and hold up to many washings over time. I have a couple pair that are several years old and are going strong! Wonderful quality, fit is TTS. I usually wear 6/29 bottoms and I wear a small in Verve bottoms.
Comfortable, breatheable, washes well, quality fabric & construction

These have not been available for months in my size, and I was very happy to receive notification from Vickerey that they were back in stock. They are well-made, comfortable and my go-to pants for home and running errands. They can't be beat for washability. I do hang them to dry, though they go through the dryer just fine. I ordered my usual black in size small, but also tried the smoke blue this time. Love them! The color is not bright but subdued and goes with everything. A nice change from black. Thank you, Vickerey, for carrying these great pants!
Merchant Response:Thanks you for shopping with us and taking the time to review!
durable, classy, comfortable, keep their shape, do not snag, not a magnet for dog hair

Excellent fit and quality

I love my new Leda pants. I find them much more comfortable than tights and I wear them anywhere because they're such a nice-looking pant. The weight and quality of the cotton is fantastic.

Over 15 years ago I bought a couple of pairs of the Leda capri pants. They're still going strong, with yoga, gym climbing, and outdoor climbing subjecting them to lots of wear.


Merchant Response:Leda pants are a perennial favorite and we're glad you're a fan! Thanks for the review.

Simply the best

Have worn them for years to workout and do yoga. It is my daily uniform! Great quality, long enough for my long legs so they don't become "high water" length after numerous washings. I buy 4 pairs at a time and replace them every year or so when the black fades. Superior product, fabric.

These pants are the most comfortable I have ever owned. They can be dressed up or down. If Verve would just go back to offering them in a range of colors other than black, they would perfect!

I've been wearing Verve Leda TALLS for as long as you have been making them!
They fit really well and are soooo comfortable for just about any purpose -- gym workouts, yoga, climbing, office or a night on the town. Lately you haven't had many options for size or color in the TALLS -- please bring them back!

Great pants. Remove elastic band. Need them in petite length
June 7, 2016
I have lived in these pants (as well as the Verve Leda short) for many years and have recommended them to many. Two complaints: 1) They are too long. I always have to hem them, and 2) the elastic band is completely unnecessary. I always snip a small hole on the bottom INSIDE part of the waistband by the side seam and cut the elastic. They are much more comfortable and still perfectly snug at the waist. Fortunately, the designer doesn't sew the elastic into the waist seam, thank heavens.
durable, thick, comfortable, breathable, flattering in hips and belly, nice leg shape too long. unnecessary elastic strip sewn into the waist panel. I always snip it out. Perfect.

I have been purchasing Verve Leda pants for 20+ years. I'm not a rock climber but I do go to the gym faithfully. My trainer in Santa Fe recommended Verve Leda pants from Vickerey many years ago and I still order from them and love using them. They fit well, move well and last forever!

The fit is correct and very comfortable to wear even on date night, or church. the color fades a several washings, but does not shrink in the dryer. Love these pants. Have about 10 pairs and can't get enough.

My wife runs a Yoga Studio and is a teacher and therapist. The Leda pant has been half of her "uniform" for many years. Nothing else will do

Women's Verve Brand Story

MEET VERVE: Behind the Scenes Christian Griffith

At Vickerey, we've carried Verve clothing for over a decade. We love the classy and functional fit, the durable fabric, and the way it's still handsewn by local seamstresses. And, we love the eccentric, enigmatic man behind Verve: Christian Griffith, climber and designer extraordinaire. Join us for this two-part series that focuses on the man behind the brand, and the wonderful climbing, yoga, and lifestyle clothes he creates.

Read about Verve and founder Christian Griffith on our Blog - Part 1 and Part 2

"Outside my close circle of friends there was almost no way of knowing at a glance who shared not only my love of climbing, but also my way of being. This was the feeling that gave rise to the idea for Verve, the clothing company I started in 1988. Since then, I have tried very hard to stick to a few key values that have not only preserved the physical quality of Verve clothing, but hopefully as well, their fundamental role in helping the people that wear them find their own place in the world.", Christian Griffith

The Verve clothing company is not only committed to producing exceptional products, but to supporting grassroots, sustainable business practices. While outsourcing is commonplace in the apparel industry, Verve is keeping it local. They have a group of professional seamstresses who work from home, affectionately called the granny sewing force. Many of these seamstresses left their own countries because of war or its aftermath and made their way to the US years ago. Verve founder Christian Griffith says, "With changes in scale, priorities, and the economy, most of that manufacturing was moved overseas, leaving these highly skilled, dedicated women with little or no means to make a living." Flip over the care label to see the initials of the nice granny who poured her passion into your next pair of Leda pants.
