  • Fit
  • Fabric
  • Care
  • Sit high just above your natural waist and the leg line follows the natural curve of your body just like the originals and hipsters. They taper in at the top, so will sit and stay right where they are meant to all day long.

  • The Thunderpants fabric is 90% cotton and 10% spandex to give it that super comfy, soft stretchy feel. The waist and leg bands are constructed in the same, lovely fabric eliminating the need for the addition of nasty, grippy elastic and adding to the enjoyment of your Thunderpants experience. All the garments are made locally and lovingly in New Zealand. 

  • To preserve the vibrant colours and life of the fabric we suggest you do not soak or bleach your Thunderpants items. Use a gentle detergent in a cold machine wash and dry your Thunderpants on the line, not in the drier.

Your Thunderpants are not only super comfy but they are designed to withstand some pretty staunch stuff, so get into them and get on out there!

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Aurora A. ★★★★★

The rise sits right at my natural waist and the tapered top means zero digging or sliding, even after a full day of errands. I’ve already ordered a second pair because these feel like they were made for my body.

Sophia W. ★★★★★

Finally, a waistband that stays put without rolling down or digging in. The extra high rise is perfect for tucking in a sweater for a clean silhouette.

Eva T. ★★★★★

The high waist on these actually tapers in just right, so I can bend and move all day without hiking them up. They hug my natural waist firmly but never dig in, which is a rarity for me.
