I'm in this hiking club and they were adamant about not hiking in jeans.

Now I know they're not the best pants but I said it should be fine to wear them on short hikes and it wouldn't kill you but there are better things to wear. They added in further they will kick individuals out for wearing jeans.

Now I personally have done many hikes, even longer hikes wearing jeans with no issues. I want to know your thoughts below on this topic. Am I in the wrong here?

So far, it seems the rule I'm breaking is spreading misinformation. But I don't believe I am spreading any. I am not saying jeans are the best, I'm just saying jeans won't kill you if you use them but there are better pants out there made for hiking in harsher conditions.

    And in that regard, you’re absolutely correct, jeans aren’t the best but they’re pants so they’ll work. If the club doesn’t want to see it like that then you might be better off without the club. Like I said, I personally don’t like to hike in jeans but to each their own.

    As far as being in the club or potentially getting kicked out for wearing jeans, you have to pick whether this issue is potentially worth getting kicked out or leaving the group over.

    If I were in your jeans and had no deep ties to the club, I would be gone but if some good friends were in the group and I wanted to hang out with them more, I would be willing to to put the jeans away for those hikes.
