Green Pants – A Hat Tip to Indiana Jones

Do you need a daily dose of adrenaline, the way other people need their cup of joe in the morning? Consider an adventure trip à la Indiana Jones! You need the right clothing to be perfectly camouflaged in nature. For hobby adventurers, green pants are a great way to camouflage!

Jungle

There’s rustling and whistling, cracking and screaming – the jungle is loud and colorful. Even here, one color dominates all others: Green. Become one with the underbrush like a chameleon and keep the wild animals from finding you.

Evenings are more relaxed. After finishing dramatic adventures, you’re relaxing by a sizzling camp fire, listening to the sounds of the guitar and heating up a can of beans, or grilling some freshly caught game.
The look: A pair of patterned cloth pants in green help you relax before returning to your adventure the next day. A pair of comfortable moccasins, an oversized top, and a light cardigan keep you warm and cozy.

Temples

Old ruins, mysterious chambers, hidden traps and incredible treasures – you are on the last leg of your trip, which takes you to an ancient temple deep inside the wilderness. There, you should also be equipped with the right clothing.

By the way, the iconic Indiana Jones character was based on a real person: U.S. archeologist Hiram Bingham, who excavated and explored the ruin city of Machu Picchu in 1911 provided the inspiration for the adventurous explorer.

Even without a whip and a fedora, they make a cool addition to your closet: Green pants.
