Betabrand Cargo Trousers For The Ultra-Elite Couch Commandos

Gungho Cowboy

This may just come in handy when the cold weather sets in, and with eventual release of the biggest video first person shooter game titles this Fall may fix a good number of us to our coaches, adrenalin levels high as we take aim at our television screens for the next enemy to blow to kingdom come. What more would you do, but at least be a couch commando in style? Ditch the jammies, go for the cargo trousers from Betabrand made for the armchair tactical shooter in you.

Betabrand, the company behind those wacky trousers such as the horizontal corduroy trousers called Cordarounds, and the DiscoLab pants, introduce this line of custom cargo trousers that are meant for the couch stuck video game player. Whilst these are cargo trousers, they can be used for everyday use, but are not expected to last if you use them for the rough and tumble game of airsoft, or even actual tactical use.

Whether your obliterating zombies, hunting Makarov, or being the best Tier 1 operator in the video gaming world, these drawstring trousers are easy to slip on and off, before your mum barges into your room demanding that you, young man, take those trousers off after spending a whole week in them trying to achieve all those perks and care packages, and they may just stand on their own after days of not seeing the laundry machine. Just imagine all the Doritos, Pepsi or RedBull stains in them as you do battle in New York, London, and Paris.

Kotaku got to review a pair and they swear that they are comfortable, but would not recommend it for going to work. But you can hangout with your mates in them. Not exactly the most fashion forward trousers these days, but many would a gamer would rather use a pair of these than get caught in skinny jeans.

These are made to order and the digital camo design costs US$130.00. If you're willing to wait, then place your order now as they will ship by mid-December. The other colours will set you back by US$85.00. More information about the trousers in Betabrand's marketing material on the new digital camo design below:

Digital Camo Couch Commandos

AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK! At this very moment, our fruited plain is being overrun by an all-star Axis of Evil that includes zombies, acid-spurting aliens, and time-traveling Nazi killbots.

Thank goodness for the massive at-home army of U.S. super-soldiers vigilantly manning our nation’s video-game consoles! Otherwise, Washington would now lie in smoldering ruins, and our undead loved ones would be gorging themselves on our unspooled intestines.

For extraordinary service to their country, these brave couch commandos deserve nothing less than a line of drawstring cargo pants designed specifically for gung-ho gaming. And for the ultra-elite warrior, Betabrand is proud to offer this special Digital Camo edition, a pixelated mash-up of modern digital camouflage and graphics inspired by classic 8-bit video games.

Because Digital Camos are a pain in the ass to make, we’re only producing as many as people request.

Couch Commandos are made of 100% French-twill cotton, so they’re light and incredibly comfy. But make no mistake: We’ve tailored these trousers for intense virtual combat.

They come equipped with six big pockets, including two oversized gusseted cargos that can accommodate several grenades or an emergency ration of Pop-Tarts. Other features include drawstring ankle cinches and an extra-sturdy inseam to help you survive extended tours of duty going to and from the microwave.

While we designed Couch Commandos to meet the rigorous requirements of the U.S. Armchair Forces, rest assured they’re great for all your leisurely special ops, like watching football, visiting your favorite watering hole — and, of course, mowing down fire-breathing Commie cyborgs.
