Paying$645 for a pair of pants(长裤）created by an unknown fashion brand might seem ludicrous, but what if the pants would last forever?Will that reason make you look smart?That's the promise of adventure clothing brand Vollebak, which announces its new pants will last a century.
Vollebak cofounder Steve Tidball says that the company stands behind the 100-year guarantee because the new pants are made of a tough material and you can walk through fire in them. Technically, the 100 Year Pants are made of a three-layer(层）material. The outer layer resists water and is designed to avoid abrasions(磨损），the middle layer is fireproof and expands as an airbag at high temperatures, acting as a barrier between your legs and the flames, while the third layer doesn't burn, offering extra protection.
＂Most fire-resistant clothing is made from heavy and uncomfortable chemical materials, but this is the world's first special material that can be comfortably worn every day, "Vollebak cofounder Nick Tidball said. "It was originally designed to help soldiers handle extreme situations, but without having to dress like firefighters. "
Still, 100 years sounds like a long time for a pair of pants, especially if you wear them frequently. So how do you know they'll last that long? Vollebak put them through the Martindale abrasion resistance test, where a mechanical thumb(机械拇指）rubs against the pants until the fibers start to break. A regular clothing material can survive 25, 000 revolutions, but the special material these pants are made of passed 100, 000 cycles of wear. Even then, it was checked to see if any of the fibers had broken. Vollebak says they hadn't.
The 100 Year Pants are made suitable for all kinds of activities, from mountain climbing to yoga, and are stylish enough. So if you're looking to buy the last pair of pants you'll ever need, these seem like a pretty good choice. $645 is a lot, but if you think about it, it's just$6. 45 per year.

2.What makes Vollebak's pants different from most fire-resistant clothing?
A.That they are designed for firefighters.

3.How does the text prove Vollebak's pants are abrasion-resistant?
A.By referring to the results of a certain test.
B.By mentioning wearers positive comments.
C.By reporting the whole process of production.
D.By asking technicians to wear them frequently.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

D.To comment on a famous company's latest products.
