ORIGINAL SNOPANTS®
Snopants® have long been established as Maharishi's signature trouser, having featured in every collection since 1996.
The style was loosely based on white U.S. Army "Snow Camouflage Over Trousers" – intended to be worn over a full combat uniform. Maharishi improved the original design and the adapted style was renamed the 'Original Snopant'. It incorporated the patented Snocord® System for concealment of excess cord and the Temple Bead, a one-part metal cord lock. Additional functionality was added in the form of the patented Snobutton® system, which allows the wearer to fully customise the trouser length.
Maha Systems
The Snocord® system ensures both the waist and hem are fully adjustable, while excess drawcord is concealed within the hand pockets or small internal pockets inside the hem - providing clean lines and ensuring cords aren’t caught on door handles or bike wheels. Used vertically, the Snocord® system allows fully adjustable pant length.
Once the cord is adjusted to the desired length, its locked with the patented Temple Ball - a unique single part metal bead, produced exclusively for Maharishi in Switzerland by long-term military metal zip manufacturer, Riri. The metal ball allows for the elasticated cord to pass through when stretched for adjustment, but holds the cord in place when left relaxed.
