Crazy Idea Hugo Race Pant
No, they are not real denim jeans, but they do look pretty sweet. Most people upon seeing you wear the Crazy Idea Hugo Race Pants will think you are skimo racing in your street clothes. Add in the Hugo Race Top and they will definitely be looking twice. But, don’t be concerned by the appearance, the pants are made of Power Kler high-performance stretch fabric to keep you at the top of your game. Hugo pants also incorporate most boot ski/walk mechanisms at the gaiter to keep those transitions fast. The Crazy Idea Hugo pants are the epitome of high-performance fashion.
- Power Kler high-performance stretch fabric gives the perfect race fit.
- Gaiter incorporates ski/walk mechanism for best-selling race boots.
- Crazy Idea’s printed designs are eye-catching and fun.
- Flat seams for more comfort and better durability.
- Fastener system to integrate with the Hugo Top.

Any chance these will be coming back into stock this season?

Hi Logan, we are scheduled to receive some in mid-October, but the best way to know when they arrive would be to set up a notification using the "notify me" button next to the price listed above, that way you'll get an email when we get them in the shop!

Hey David, yes they should work just fine.
Answer this question:
Five Stars for sure!
First, on the practical side, compared to other tights & suits I've owned from various brands, the size Euro Medium fit is pretty typical. Material is thin -- this is definitely racewear! Rear mesh pocket is very useful and relatively secure, although with only an elastic closure, wouldn't want to risk something like a car key. Integrated gaiter is very snug (i.e., only for race boots) with an impressively substantial scuff guard. ("Spikey like a dinosaur," exclaimed by 8 yr old niece at a school assembly -- more on that later.)
Second, on the stylin' side, this is so outrageously awesome! I've worn it twice to assemblies at my daughter's elementary school, and even though all the parents are used to my ski/bike/running clothing ("do you own any normal pants?" = actual quote!), this has been an absolute hoot. (One mother was even rubbing her hand on the tights, apparently to see what the fabric was really like -- I think...)
Touring in the backcountry, dragging and sawing deadfall (as pictured below), was hilarious to look down and think, oh good, I have thick protective pants on, then remember, oh, right. Training at the resort, slows down my pace since so many people stop to talk.
Also, although I don't know if these tights make you skin any faster, they definitely make you look skinnier -- when I looked in the mirror the first time, my waist seemed to have lost a few inches.

Hard to see in the picture, but the bumper sticker on this random car reads, Trump Skis In Jeans.

Mt St Helens, January 26, 2019. Skinned all the way from parking lot to summit (where my partner took this picture), skied halfway down the mountain, then skinned back up to the summit again (didn't get a picture of the "jeans" for the second summit gain, sorry) -- because a pant like this deserves it!
