Judging from the photo I'm not sure why people are complaining. I think their rucksacks look fantastic!

The photo caption says this village is at 25000 meters. That's 82000 feet, or 15 1/2 miles. Those hikers are gonna have some frostbitten extremities.
Ouch.

So the nekkid Krauts are complaining about being fined for hiking in the raw...?
Could be worse. I remember reading somewhere about a meeting between Swiss and German military officials shortly before World War II. (Switzerland required - and still does, I believe - all male Swiss to undergo basic military training and keep a rifle and ammunition at home. That mindset probably explains why they've been able to stay out of Europe's wars for the past five hundred years...)
Pointing out that Switzerland, at the time, could only muster at most a million men at arms while Germany could summon five million troops at short notice, a German general asked his Swiss counterpart what would happen in the hypothetical event Germany invaded.
"Well," replied the Swiss general, "each of my men will fire five rounds and go home."
Needless to say, the Germans took the hint...
