If there's one thing we hate waking in the morning, it's our testicles climbing up into our abdomen to shield themselves from the frigid cold. NOT ANYMORE! This pair of Tri-Zone heated pants have two heat zones (shouldn't that be dual-zone then?), one around your pockets and one around your lower back. And by lower back, they probably mean ass.
The pants are controlled by a wired remote which goes into a pocket, and they're powered by a rechargeable li-on battery. The phrase "honey, did you recharge my pants?" will probably less awkward after you pick up a pair.

Bullys at schools: New Target. Were calling this one the "Electric Wedgie." Go get 'em, boys.
this will also bring new meaning to "liar liar pants on fire"
great idea though, if they were interchangable to other pants it would be even better, but i bet there would be some comfort loss there.
I particularly like the contrasting coloured cuffs. Make it plaid, give me an ax and call me a lumber jack.
And it looks like it's controlled by a mini Wii controller! Now you can use the Wii to heat up your wii-wii!
Geisrud you can just fold those down, I don't believe they are sewn like that. They just wanted to show the fleece lining.
I have a pair of fleece lined work pants that look exactly like those (cargo pockets and blue fleece). I got them for Xmas last year and they are a treat to wear. A heck of a lot warmer than flannel lined oens and snowblowing mine and a few neighbors driveways is a lot more comfortable now than long underwear and jeans.
Heh, try explaining this one to the Transportation Safety Authority. Have fun with that full-body cavity search, dude.
why they don't take it one step further, three level vibriting and two zone massage...
These hot pants use Sony rechargable batteries, right?
It's actually "Transportation Security Administration." Just to be an ass. Warming. Pants. See, it's relevant.
Pure electricity. In my pants.
Can you say roasted nuts lol.
Is it tri-zone because each front pocket is a zone?
I think the joke you were going for involved something about discharging your pants, not recharging.
Can you say really bad fashion?
The idea is incredible, but why do I have to look like that 30 something hiker out of a Land's End photo shoot?
That cargo pocket is almost laughable "Ooh, Miffy, look at these. Pleated Khakis, but they give you this nifty pocket on the hip, for holding things. Mmmmm." These look like my work pants but with a badly done cargo and pleats. Nobody under 40 wears pleats anymore.
Maybe it's my 2 on the Kinsey scale showing, but these get a 9 on the gadget scale and a 3 on the fashion one.
The Brookstone site also lists a heated vest and a heated jacket. I'll be on the look out for reviews.
My question is: if you wore these in the rain, would you need to start thinking about donating to a sperm bank to ensure the future of your lineage? Because I don't think your nether regions would last too long in a downpour with wires running willy-nilly down your pants.
Of course, I'm not electrical engineer. But something tells me flannel-lined cargos are a bit cheaper than these things. (I hate to bring it up, too, but I'm sure there are sexier things to say when you're trying to get busy than "oh yeah, baby, that's the remote for my electric pants!")
They should just make heated boxers/underwear. I could go for that. Then again it would probably hurt if someone kicked you in the nuts.
