The Belikos pant is a product with an interesting design history. In its first form, it was an East German fighter pilot pant, up for sale in a Hamburg thrift store. Discovered by young graffiti artists from Berlin, it was transformed into a break dancing piece for their fledgling company "Overdose." My first experience with the pant came while designing a climbing gym in the center of that city and hanging out with the boys of Overdose: I realized their pant could be the basis for a state-of-the-art bouldering pant. Back at the Verve office, I redesigned the crotch (formerly absurdly low) and changed the fabric from a light weight cotton to a heavier cotton / nylon blend. (CG)
the Belikos Pant is available in 50% cotton /50% nylon ripstop (AND NEW FOR 2024 a slightly lighter 57% nylon / 43% cotton fabric called "Extreme" for those wanting a more supple hand) .. It is stiff to start, but is my all time favorite fabric for this pant.
