+Team Flying Dachshund Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Who made up the name GPS PANTS??? They are two totally different things. Are they meant to be used to carry a gps? This makes no sense. Quote Link to comment
+magking1971 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 So THATS what I have been doing wrong all this time, THE WRONG PANTS! shucks Quote Link to comment
+Seamus Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Only problem is, you need to wait for them to initialize before you put them on in the morning. (...and best not to think too much about "losing coverage" in dense woods) Quote Link to comment
+Mastifflover Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 They must be made specifically for Garmins. I hear the Magellen GPS pants come with built in suspenders to handle the extra weight and bulk! Quote Link to comment
+AJ of Dunbar Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 those are some ugly pants. Ill stick to my shorts and wading through briars.Yeah it hurts, but im comfy aj Quote Link to comment
+tstar Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I have just got to get a pair of those. After all, my regular pants don't come with the amazing "storm flap security pocket"...I don't think that I want to know what that pocket does. Quote Link to comment
+Pyewacket Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Darn, I thought you were giving away a freebie, a la Milbank. I thought maybe I'd have an "in", only to find out the person who is going to choose the winners won't know me. Just another nameless face in the crowd. *sigh* </tongue-in-cheek> Quote Link to comment
+Polgara Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I wonder what you can FIND in a pair of GPS pants...LOL Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I think everyone should boycott this and refuse to enter! (nonchalant whistling) Quote Link to comment
+Prairie Dog Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Wonder if those pants are WAAS enabled? That's a funny giveaway. It also tells me that more people are owning GPSr's. I heard somebody at Columbia knows somebody over at Jeep! "There were rumors..." Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 The jokes come far to easy to list them. Quote Link to comment

+Imajika Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hmmm, they only have a built in "security pocket". I thought they would have a built in GPS. Anyone behind me on the way to the cache could look at my butt and see how close we are. __________________________________________________________________ Fabric: 100% cotton Chisel Cloth™, garment enzyme stonewashed.

+5 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Is that a Legend in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 They must be made specifically for Garmins. I hear the Magellen GPS pants come with built in suspenders to handle the extra weight and bulk! While it is true they are made for the e-treks and have a pocket for the same GPS, they also have a pocket for a Magellan GPS to use when the Garnin loses it lock under tree cover Quote Link to comment
+Prairie Dog Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Ooh, ooh....4000 pants with travel bug tags? You can enter an extra sweepstake with a poem about your pants. Okay, but do they come in "Jeep" yellow with flimsy roll cages? "Ode to my pants" by Prairie Dog 76 Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Only problem is, you need to wait for them to initialize before you put them on in the morning.(...and best not to think too much about "losing coverage" in dense woods) And you have to put them on out in the open, with a clear view of the sky!

+GSVNoFixedAbode Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Grommiiiiiitt! I said no caching today!! Quote Link to comment
+SixTen Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I entered...just in the hopes that if I win I want to see them scramble to find a pair that fits me!...I have a 42" waist and a 36-38" inseam! -Six Quote Link to comment
koz Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 i especially liked the "take-atick-home" pockets! Quote Link to comment
+Robespierre Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 36-38" inseam! Is that inseam, or "in-stream?" Quote Link to comment
Mushtang Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the "pointer" in the GPS pants. Or the "click stick". Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Personally, I've entered for the GPS... When I win, I'll post the cords to whichever cache I shove the pants in! Quote Link to comment
