$250 for a pants, I'll stick with REI for an expensive option.

Hi,

I understand if the price seems high, but since there is a lot of development behind and we produce in small quantities we have to put all the sidecoast like development, administration, marketing, logisitcs on this small number of products.

Have a nice day!

Pilots are inherently cheap, especially glider pilots. Don't get me wrong, I like the looks and functionality.

Well that's about $300 USD. Thank you for reminding me that I am apparently one of the few glider pilots who is not a freakin' billionaire!

Nice touch with the price break at 7 pairs... I mean any self respecting glider pilot just must have a pair for each day of the week...And when I blow over $2 grand on pants...I want to save 5 or 10 bucks...7 pairs makes it easy on the servants too...so they can attend to important things, not doing the wash every day...

For us mere "thousandaires"...a pair of cargo shorts from WalMart for $8 and Hanes Beefy Tee.(with pocket) for $4.35 and we're good to go flying!

Chart goes into the map pocket in the glider and I write important stuff directly on my hand! For UV protection of the ankles....socks!

If you're into the "pockets everywhere" thing...a surplus air force coveralls flight suit can be had at the army navy store for $25....

Just sayin'....

Good luck with the business venture

Hi Cookie,

It's not our attention to offend you or anyone else in this Forum.
Everyone can fly with the clothes he likes.

We struggle with the same issues like avionics producer. They ask several tousand dollars for an airplaneinstrument but a mobilphone has more functions and better performance. They also have a small quantity of products and a lot of development.

I'm sorry if my post offended you.

Kind regards

Daniel

I usually get my soaring attire from thrift stores and mountaineering shops:

* Loose white cotton shirt, epoxy stained
* 1990's Regional contest T-shirt (preferably John Shelton designs)
* Rock climbing pants (REI or Royal Robbins)
* Hiking boots
* Short-billed baseball cap, no button

Daniel,

I'm not offended in the least...just having some fun at your expense.

I am trying to figure out your business model..???

(you have a highly specialized product, in a tiny market, and an extravagant price....I don't see it working for you)

But hey, if you can sell lots of $300 pants...more power to you...

(maybe I'm in the wrong business)

Cookie

Hi Cookie,

Well it's not the goal to get rich. We're working besides MILVUS 100%.

After a few years flying sailplane I was frustrated that I don't get as good gear and clothes like for mountainbiking, running, mountaineering etc.

The idea behind MILVUS is to offer high quality products for ambitious glider pilots.Not everyone has the same demand on clothes.
But I would already miss my BRAVO trousers after flying a whole season with them

Always found these North Face Paramount convertible cargo pants are just fantastic in a sailplane. http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/...ble-pants.html

They are convertible, with the Milvus don't seem to be and at ~US$75 a lot less than US$250 + shipping from Europe. And available at lots of retailers/online stores in the USA, and often for ever lower discounted prices.

Milvus certainly has a slick expensive lookign Web site, but I'm just scratching my head here who the customer is and whether this pricing, and product, was tested before investing all this effort.
