I reckon these outfits always go down a treat when worn at climbing festivals. I love how Ado has taken the original Borat model and given it his own personal touch. That's what fashion is all about in my opinion.

I think something inside of me just died a little bit.

That guy is hot! Not bad for 40...
And when is the next climbing festival, I've got big plans..

You'll keep Simey, I'm down your way next week....
Now Ti, to answer your questions:
There really wasn't much I liked about wearing these clothes. My constraint was the price of the material..$9 a metre, so I only bought 2. I thought that'd be enough. It wasn't. The top photo shows design number 1...not so revealing, but my nuts ended up near my lungs. The lower photo shows model number 2, more revealing but the rubber is much less stretched. Way more comfy. I really should've shaved down before the event.
The clothing was 10 minutes old, I just bought it at the chemist. After a wash, I still used the rubber at the crag to warm up my shoulders, the use it was designed for. So did a few mates, until I reminded them of it's origin..
As a side note I think I broke my toe when I fell off the slackline. It went black and I couldn't put on a rock shoe for 2 weeks.

Now, please, no more posts on this thread, let's let it slide thru to the keeper...

People in the Peak are only cool if they wear Moon Trousers.

... I'm not cool enough.

I think Moon Trousers is a contradiction in terms, unless you are talking about something like this.

NB. I had another image that I was going to post but after viewing those shots of hipster once again, I decided not to.

I'm actually quite scarred by the Google Image search I just had to do to find that image.

you don't want to see it - one foot was on the slackline, the other was pointing skyward, and everyone down the east end of the pool was getting even more of an eyeful than in the above photos. I was trying to cover my daughter's eyes, with minimal success due to laughing - thank god for infantile amnesia

Ado certainly proved he's got balls

Ti, have you tried here*?, or the blogs of various climbers?

Here is a scary thought-link from the ~~Boratfixated?~~mind of simey.
