I haven't Polar Pants'ed as of yet. I wouldn't pay that much for jeans that I am going to skate in and probably mess up.
I have no problem with the style, as I'm a huge fan of baggy pants.
If I want baggy'ish though, I'm going with Levi 550's on sale. The "hype" reminds me of Blind jeans in 92 though. I would daydream about getting some of those and be jealous when my buds would come to school in them. My parents wouldn't buy them for me.. ha.
