Baggy pants...

[scribble]

This has been bothering me for sometime and i have ummmmmmd and arrrrrrrd about writing a thread about it but i can hold my tongue no more. As the title suggests my probelm lies with baggy pants in paintball. So tournament after tournament for years i see players, (especially recently) wandering around with paintball brand pants on dragging half of their pant leg after them since the crotch of the pants also drags around the floor between their legs. Obviuously the pants are four sizes too big. Thin runts buying XXl size pants because someone told them once that it was cool and very stylee. Where did this notion come from? I do not see pros wearing pants that are excessively baggy or loose. Is it just me or has anyone else seen this phenom. We should just employ these baggy pant wearing jocks to run around the artificial fields - if they can with those pants on - because they can sweep the fields of loose paintballs because most of them end up trapped in, around or on their ripped dragging pant bottoms. Baggy pants that are slightly loose to encourage and support movement are tolerable but please someone agree with me on this it looks Frikin' stoopid wearing pants way too big, loose and baggy. Keep wearing them if you want, keep pulling them up every two steps if you want and in my opinion you will still look like an idiot. No i dont wear skin tight pants...

Let the flaming commence...
Adios. Happy holidays. Maybe you should ask Santa to bring you some pants that fit -------- Fewels!

dont attack me i am new compared to you lot but isnt the point of wearing baggy pant's to help bounce ? and has nothing to do with looking good

Do you remember high waisters now that would bring some late 70s early 80s retro cool back into paintball and it may hold my fat gut in as well.

I am not convinced baggy pants help with bounce, besides at the top level most shots that are not muggs are on the mask and marker.

As to baggy being the new AGG and all the pros wearing it. There is baggy and then there is BAGGY. The second being the crotch ground scraping type - not what the pro wear.

It doesnt bother me and i wont lose sleep over it just making conversation and having a small vent at the same time. High pants were funny and always guaranteed a nasty camel toe and an even nastier bruise to the knackers if someone caught you in the meat and veg region. I imagine...

Baggy pants promote bounce, period...I bounce a good 20% of leg shots cos my Dye pants are baggy as hell on me....I've had punters peppering my legs while marshalling without a single break.

But they do look daft if they're too baggy....(Pants, not punters )

so as long as they r slightly baggy and not saggy they are ok

It is a bit silly, same with stupidly large jerseys that come down to the knees.

I'm sure some of the rule books make mention of this Millenium saying refs can pin them if they are too loose, PA saying go et changed or something. I'm pretty anti-agg anyway, but this seems to be bordering on stupid. As well as bounce if the matierial is folded over hits could be hidden.
