Termoscud Takeaway

These look like they are not as restrictive as the termoscud.

The Takeaway look like they are easy on and easy off; small photo lower left hand corner.

Mad props for finding this. Looks perfect.

I may even try making a pair of these. Seems like all you need to do is come up with the right pattern.

Anyone crafty with a sewing machine?

There could already be a pattern available for these in a pattern book.

Wonder if the material is thermal or if there is thinsulate under it?

- Universal thermal leg cover
- Totally independent. Is not fixed to vehicle
- Specifically designed to allow maximum freedom of movement, versatility and safety
- Maximum guarantee of safety
- Ergonomic cut eliminating the risk of flapping at higher speeds
- Much easier to put on than conventional over trousers
- Fully waterproof Polyester
- High grade thermal lining for extra warmth
- Taped seams
- Easily compactable for ease of storage
- Patented system

Quite a few places in the UK that carry these.

Gotta be one online store?

Doesn't look like there in stock at this place. But it's a start.

looks very similar in pattern for these wrap around pants my mom had in the 70s. (and me and the sisters ninja-ed in high school) they were sooooo easy to make, it was pathetic. not good for windy days, but if you're making a winter pair of anything you don't want totally open outer seams. i think a long industrial zipper and velco would suffice. heres a bad paint sketch:

I would tackle this adaptation with fleece or microfleece on the inside, then maybe a corduroy outside to hold warmth in as well. Snaps to the outer seam instead of a zipper would be less warm, but easier to put on / take off.

Now what just occured to me, is the easy of moving those pesky outer open seams to the middle. Sew the pink seam and instead cut the red dotty seam and add your zippers, snaps, velcro or whatever you prefer. I think i'll make me a pair come november.

Ooh, another possible addition to my velcro pants collection!

These are pretty cool, though may not provide as much coverage as a lap apron. On the other hand, less bulky, easier to manage.

Couldn't you just make a pair of snow pants into tear-away pants? That seems a lot easier to me.

That would make WAAAAY too much sense!

Good idea.

I may have to rip up my snow pants for this.

you mean i'm the only person that will throw hours away on making something for myself for no apparent reason?? This is the girl that MADE a pillow cover for a fat round pillow and hand sewed it shut (with a zipper...) instead of just spot washing the pillow.

polianarchy...I was thinking the same thing...with break away pants

Just buy a size of thinsulate pants a size larger and open up the two outside seams and sew the velcro. Hmmm...the waistband would have to be modified unless you only went up as far as the waistband.

What's wrong with standard motorcycle-type overpants? Most of those have long zippers up each leg, are made of cordura so they're not overly breathable and will keep you warm. They will go over your regular jeans. Plus they'll have the advantage of a bit of armor...

I cannot deny that I frequently think about tear-away pants. And do yourself a favor...do NOT search Yahoo! images for that phrase...*shudders*

poli...the search for "tear-away" ...if so, I already did yesterday or day before for that and for 'break away'.

I'm ready to send for Corazzo (Cordura) fabric and start making myself a pair to match my Corazzo 5.0 jacket.

Ah, so you already saw this, then? Seriously NSFW,* BTW.

poli....gasp! no! I only came up with merchants selling them.

I think he could be selling something other than pants.
