Nothing’s guaranteed to let you down faster than a cheap replica. Steer clear of stuff that doesn’t have the fabric and stitching to handle the fireworks. If you start out on a six week surf safari by climbing out of a bedroom window at midnight with nothing on but what you’re wearing, you want to know that what you’re wearing is gonna go the distance. So, Thunderpants are built to blast. They’re made from top quality fabrics, like 100% cotton, or cotton elastane blends (for a bit of extra give when there’s a swell). Then they’re checked by funny looking blokes with thick glasses to make sure they meet specifications and can handle prolonged exposure to toxic wastes. Finally, they have logos and graphics attached to attract women who ride horses bareback and appreciate fine art.
You don’t get much for a dollar nowadays. And you won’t get a pair of Thunderpants either. But if you skip pizza for a week, dodge a few shouts, or flog off an investment property, you’ll be able to acquire a pair of Thunderpants or two. No-one’s gonna look at ‘em and call you cheap. Not to your face anyway.
