COL._Von_Spanker Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 "Designed to protect that ever expensive “Gortex” outer shells. Glissade shorts can be put on without removing boots and crampons. Waist and legs are secured using 3/4” webbing and adjuster bucklesto eliminate entry of unwanted snow during glissade. Medium weighttruck tarp material is used on bottom side of harness and 400 packcloth on front side. Weight 1lb. Size: Regular and Large." At only a pound I might start carrying two pairs.

cj001f Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 As a kid I had a pair almost identical to that - they were imported from somewhere snowy in Scandanavia and called "bobshorts" . They weren't a favorite toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordop Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Almost as good as the Marmot synthetic fill belay shorts they were selling last year . Never even saw them for sale, only on their web page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I just saw some of those Marmot shorts at Second Bounce the other day. I'm still puzzled by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I bet youi slide better on a black garnbage bag, and the bag makes a better bivi sack or pack liner too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 why does someone sit during a glissade anyway? if you guys want some Marmot "Eskimo" shorts, they are designed for espresso runs in Summit County or boarding with your "buds" in the "backcountry" of the piste. These here Yates shorts, we're seeing some quality climbing gear, here.... comes with a built in fart arrestor that works like a Yates screamer...
