THE MAHARISHI SNOPANT IS BLECHMANS TAKE ON A MILITARY SURPLUS PAIR OF SNOW PANTS. STATING "I FOUND THIS RIDICULOUS BAGGY TROUSER, A US ARMY SNOW PANT THAT WAS INTENDED TO BE WORN OVER A FULL COMBAT UNIFORM, SO IT WAS ENORMOUSLY OVERSIZED. THE SURPLUS GUYS COULDN’T SELL THEM SO I BOUGHT THEM CHEAP. I WAS SUCCESSFUL SELLING THEM WITHIN THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY. THEN I STARTED TO MAKE SMALL CHANGES TO THEM, LIKE ADDING POCKET BAG AND DRAWSTRING WAISTS. I WORE THEM PERSONALLY FOR LIKE A YEAR OR SO AND TRAWLED THE WORLD AND BROUGHT EVERY LAST ONE I COULD FIND."
THE SNOPANTS FEATURE THE PATENTED SNOBUTTON & SNOCORD SYSTEM - ALLOWING USERS TO ADJUST THE TROUSERS AT THE WAIST AND HEM, AND EVEN ROLL THE TROUSERS INTO SHORTS. THIS SPECIFIC PAIR FEATURES BUTTON CLOSURE POCKETS ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT LEG
