Women's Keg Leg Bouldering Pants

Stu French was born in Tasmania, Australia and is the founding designer behind Problem Child. He is a lifelong climber and artist, with a deep love for our sport. After more than two decades serving as a top Design Executive for some of the world’s largest brands, he brought that global design expertise back to the climbing community. Stu blends high‑level creative leadership with real‑world climbing experience, designing gear he personally tests, refines and obsesses over. His vision drives Problem Child’s bold aesthetic, durability‑first mindset and unapologetically climber‑run identity.

Inspired by the bespoke streetwear scenes of France, New York and Tokyo, Problem Child leans hard into bold colour, playful fabrics and expressive graphics with total confidence. These global influences shape a design language that’s fearless, creative and unmistakably ours — blending boutique edge with climber‑coded attitude. It’s streetwear that moves, performs and stands out loud, built for climbers who want personality, punch and a little bit of beautiful chaos woven into every stitch. Every piece channels that international swagger into gear that feels crafted, intentional and unapologetically expressive.
