A woman's bottom garment provides a concealed accessible opening for elimination. A relief area may be positioned primarily on the back side of the garment while the wearer is in a standing posture, and may shift forward sufficiently when the wearer sits or squats so as to allow elimination when the free edges of the panels in the relief area are pulled away from each other. The embodiments reduce the number of seams in contact with areas that may chafe, such as the inner thighs and groin area, and reduce the bulk of the material of the accessible covering.

Pants with novelty crotch opening. The pants include leg encircling portions and a crotch area with two overlapping panels that bias toward a closed position. Each panel includes a free edge that is pulled laterally to place the crotch area in an open position. When the crotch area is not being held open or has no interposing object holding it open, the crotch area immediately returns to a closed position. The crotch panel does not include fasteners such as buttons or snaps and to an outside observer does not appear to have an opening.

A rain bib garment is provided, wherein the rain bib garment includes buoyant elements that may be employed so that a wearer may float in water, should the need arise, and further includes means for providing a substantially water-tight seal between the rain bib and a wearer at an upper portion of the rain bib.

A fly shield for a garment such as, for example, a pair of jeans. The fly shield is coupled to a waistband of the garment and extends along a zipper and over a crotch seam of the garment. The portion of the fly shield that extends over the crotch seam of the garment has less than four layers of material and/or consists of a first material layer and a second material layer.

A garment panel includes a material that is configured to attach to an internal surface of a garment to form the garment panel, and that includes a front surface and a rear surface; and an opening in the material to permit genitalia of a user to be inserted through the opening and remain disposed in a space formed between the internal surface of the garment and the front surface of the material.

A compound garment has a first garment of contiguous material from a waist band to a genital area, having opposite leg openings proximate the genital area, with at least a pelvic region made from a four-way stretch fabric, a second garment of contiguous material from a waist band to a genital area, having opposite leg openings proximate the genital area, with at least a pelvic region made from a four-way stretch fabric, and a waist band of non-stretch fabric, having a contiguous back portion and a front portion with a fly opening having closure elements enabling the fly opening to be opened and closed. The compound garment is formed by imposing the second garment over the first garment with waistband and leg openings aligned, imposing the non-stretch waistband over the assembled first and second garments, and joining the three along the waistband in the back.

A frame is sealed in a waterproof manner to a pair of pants and/or waders, where the frame forms a frame aperture separating an outside from an inside of the pair of pants and/or waders. A lid is pivotably connected to the frame where the lid in an open position allows access through the frame aperture and the lid in a closed position does not. A seal is disposed between the frame and the lid forming a waterproof closure of the frame aperture when the lid is in the closed position. A latch is movably connected to the frame, the latch having an engagement surface configured for a user to press against. A protective protrusion is attached to the lid, wherein the engagement surface and the protective protrusion cooperatively form a finger gap configured to allow the user access to press against the engagement surface.

Motorcycling apparel, particularly motorcycling jerseys and pants, and methods of manufacture thereof are provided. In the motorcycling pant of the invention, a compressive inner layer is integrally affixed to a protective outer layer. In embodiments, the motorcycling pant includes a zipper for securing the outer layer snugly around a leg of the wearer. The integrally affixed compressive layer and zipper mechanism permit a wearer to put on additional protective gear, e.g. knee braces, over the motorcycling pant with less time and effort than previous motorcycling pants require.

Lower body garments, such as, but not limited to, pants, shorts, and the like are described; wherein such garments may include access-flaps and/or access-openings for accessing genitals and/or for accessing a genitals region of the one wearing the given garment. These access-flaps and/or access-opening have predetermined shapes and sizes; are located on the given garment in predetermined location(s); and are removably openable/closable via various mechanical-fasteners.

A rigid frame is sealed in a waterproof manner to a pair of pants and/or waders, where the frame forms a frame aperture separating an outside from an inside of the pair of pants and/or waders. A rigid lid is pivotably connected to the frame and configured to engage the frame aperture. The rigid lid in an open position allows access through the frame aperture and the rigid lid in a closed position does not allow access through the frame aperture. A seal is disposed between the frame and the lid forming a waterproof closure of the frame aperture when the lid is in the closed position. A latch is pivotably connected to the frame and configured to retain the lid in the closed position. A spring is disposed between the latch and the frame, the spring biasing the latch to retain the lid in the closed position.
