People with legs and/or feet: Sakpants are here! The suffering is over! How many years have you wasted in sweatpants – allowing your neglected feet to hang out in the cold? How many steps have you taken across freezing tile and hardwood floors in your own home? NO MORE! This winter, wrap your legs and hoofers in the cozy luxury of Sakpants and say NO to unnecessary holes.
What are Sakpants?
Sakpants are the simple and stylish solution to the common cold [feet]. Based loosely (pun regretfully intended) on ultra-baggy Thai fisherman pants, Sakpants fit nearly every shape and dimension without having to offer scads of different sizes. Gain 30 pounds over the holidays? No problem. Your Sakpants will fit like a glove. Lose 80 pounds eating Kale and ladybugs for a year? Congratulations! You’ve earned a new wardrobe, but you won’t need to buy new Sakpants. They’ll still suit you perfectly.
Every other “footie” pant out there makes you look like a grotesquely large infant. Sakpants do away with the booty design and instead cover your feet in ultra chic, ground-pounding saks. They look as good as they feel and feel as good as they...feel.
Sakpants are made from warm yet highly breathable cotton in order to insulate your lowers any time of year. The luxurious footbeds are double-layered sweatpant material ensuring a cushy ride and protection from freezing floors. In case of emergencies (like itchy feet or spontaneous nail-trimming bouts), the double layers separate to reveal a secret opening, allowing you to access your dear trotters.
As with any revolutionary product, some education is required. Don’t worry, wearing them is easy. Deciding to take them off is hard.
Getting to those hoofers of yours is easy too!

Garred Lentz (the one with face fat). Business Stuff. Financial Stuff. Boring Stuff. Sakpreneur.
Brayden Iwasaki (the handsome one). Design Stuff. Brand Stuff. Exciting Stuff. Pants.
Garred and Brayden are both from Salt Lake City, Utah and are intimately familiar with cold winters and even colder feet. They created Sakpants as a way to tell winter “You’re not the boss of me.”
Why Kickstarter?
The purpose of this Kickstarter campaign is two-fold. Firstly, the world deserves to know that the days of freezing feet are over. This campaign is a public service announcement. It is addressed to the influencers and geniuses who regularly peruse Kickstarter. People like you! Now that you’ve heard…spread the word! The second purpose is to raise enough money so that we can qualify for those just-out-of-reach quantity discounts that manufacturers love to offer. $15,000 will allow us to sell Sakpants at the lowest price possible to you and your freezing-footed loved ones.
Our moves. Your moves.
We plan to get a pair of Sakpants onto the feet of anyone and everyone who has ever suffered from freezing feet in their own home. We will also get millions of people around the world doing the Sakpants Dance. What is the Sakpants Dance? You tell us. Better yet, SHOW us. These slippy slidey pants allow for countless moves to be discovered. Once you receive your Sakpants, email us a video of YOUR moves in YOUR very own Sakpants, and we may select your moves to be featured on our website, www.sakpants.com. We’ll also send you an exclusive “I CREATED THE SAKPANTS DANCE” T-shirt so you can prove your amazingness to your friends.

Risks and challenges
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we won’t be able to deliver thousands of Sakpants to you – our supporters – by November 14th! Manufacturing, fulfillment, and distribution aren’t small tasks, and we certainly aren’t taking them lightly. To ensure that you receive the Sakpants you deserve on time, we have partnered with a domestic manufacturer with ample capacity to produce whatever quantity is demanded. The founders – yours truly – will directly oversee shipping and handling. If we have to saddle up a pony and deliver your Sakpants to you personally, we will.
An additional challenge with this current campaign is that in most of the United States (which is our home market), it’s HOT right now. And you’re probably not thinking of cold feet. We ask for your faith. Fall is our favorite season and we’re really hoping it comes this year. It usually does.
There are always unforeseen challenges. In the event that a master thief steals the world’s supply of high-quality cotton or Earth becomes a waterworld and Kevin Costner is chasing buffalo instead of swimming that day, we will work through these challenges with extreme urgency and keep you informed every step of the way. When you buy a pair of Sakpants, you become family. We won’t leave you hanging.
