Fairly
tight
nylon
pants
which enjoyed a
period
of
popularity
in the mid-
1980s
. They had
zipper
ed patch
pockets
--the usual
two
in the
front
and two in the
back
, plus
one
or two on each
leg
. Sometimes, they had
zippered ankles
. The
existence
of
parachute
pants
is an indication that maybe
fashion
in the
'80s
suck
ed just as hard as it did in the
'70s
.
And now some
Evil Corporate Empire
s are trying to bring
parachute pants
back--this time, they're calling them "
para pants
", but we won't be
fool
ed this time!

Item of
clothing
originally used by the
military
because they were made of
weatherproof
synthetic
materials and had large
pockets
for
map
s and other
supplies
. Became very
fashionable
in the
early
1980s
and are now an item of
nostalgia
. You can still buy several styles at www.parachute-pants.com.

In the late 80s, a couple of years after parachute pants had gone
out of style
, my family went up to
Canada
to visit my
Aunt
. We were going to go
hiking
in the
Canadian Rockies
, and she insisted that we all wear some used
parachute pants
. The reason was that they blocked the
wind
, and they only took about 15 minutes to
dry
after you got them
wet
, so there was less danger of
cramping
from the cold at high altitudes.
