Maha Systems
The Snocord® system ensures both the waist and hem are fully adjustable, while excess drawcord is concealed within the hand pockets or small internal pockets inside the hem - providing clean lines and ensuring cords aren’t caught on door handles or bike wheels. Used vertically, the Snocord® system allows fully adjustable pant length.
Once the cord is adjusted to the desired length, its locked with the patented Temple Ball - a unique single part metal bead, produced exclusively for Maharishi in Switzerland by long-term military metal zip manufacturer, Riri. The metal ball allows for the elasticated cord to pass through when stretched for adjustment, but holds the cord in place when left relaxed.
ORIGINAL SNOPANTS®
Snopants® have long been established as Maharishi's signature trouser, having featured in every collection since 1996.
The style was loosely based on white U.S. Army "Snow Camouflage Over Trousers" – intended to be worn over a full combat uniform. Maharishi improved the original design and the adapted style was renamed the 'Original Snopant'. It incorporated the patented Snocord® System for concealment of excess cord and the Temple Bead, a one-part metal cord lock. Additional functionality was added in the form of the patented Snobutton® system, which allows the wearer to fully customise the trouser length.
