ABOUT US
Hi, we’re Funky Pants. We’re called Funky Pants because we make pants and our pants are funky. Seriously funky. Not only are they seriously funky, Our Funky Pants are incredibly comfortable...or as we say - ridiculously comfy.
Funky Pants started nearly 14 years ago when Tracy Harker was organising an Ocean Surfski Paddling Series in South Africa. Tracy was disillusioned by the paddle shorts available, not simply because of their lack of funk but also because of the fit. The result was a pair of ridiculously comfy, fully lined mid-thigh length, paddling tights. Success! These pants, although comfy, were not the funky pants you see before you now. A certain 'je ne sais quoi' was required.
After a few years of making plain coloured paddling shorts, Tracy decided to test the market with some brightly coloured, funky looking pants. Tracy's husband, Billy Harker, took one look at them and exclaimed, Tracy’s Funky Pants! Now with the ridiculously comfy quarters, cycling pants, cycling bibs and tri-suits. Suitable for nearly all sports and the gym – wherever you need to be ridiculously comfy! We are simply fighting boredom, one pair of exercise shorts at a time. Heroes, right?
