Earlier this week we reported on the Bike Pants from Bulgarian based Any Exit. Apparently the former Communist Bloc country has taken its 20+ years of freedom very seriously as it has developed some impressively innovative ideas. In addition to pants with removable pockets designed for cyclists, the company has created the inflatable Small Foot snowshoes, which are designed for use in emergencies.
These have the appearance of life rafts on the foot when inflated, but can packed down quite small, so could be good for anyone who goes hiking and worries about snowing coming in. The creator reportedly came up with the designs while lost in the mountains in knee-deep snow. Let’s just hope he wasn’t wearing the Small Foot Bike Pants and had something more appropriate for the wilds. Video after the jump
On the hit CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory main character Sheldon Cooper noted that he “bus pants” as in pants he wears over regular pants so as not to soil his own pants. Now you don’t need to be a fictionalized scientist with behavioral issues to understand the desire not to want to sit on some city buses, but we’d love to hear Dr. Cooper’s take on “Bicycle Pants.”
