This funky new print by Greta Menzies is neither itchy nor scratchy but it may tickle your fancy.

SKY RISE THUNDERPANTS, an extra high waisted version of our originals. They are a very comfortable full brief that sit high on your natural waist and taper in at the top, so stay right where they are meant to all day long.

  • 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!

Emily F. ★★★★★

The high-waisted fit on these is exactly what I wanted—they stay put without digging in. The fabric feels really sturdy yet soft against my skin, and the print is such a fun conversation starter.

Miles Y. ★★★★★

The print is so playful and fun—definitely livens up my wardrobe. The high waist sits just right and doesn’t dig in at all. Surprisingly soft fabric, too.

Timothy G. ★★★★★

The extra high waist on these is perfect for lounging and they honestly don't feel itchy at all despite the name. The print is fun and the fabric is just as comfortable as I hoped.
