Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a pair of adjustable pants that can be adjusted to different sizes and positions knee protectors in the right place without needing to alter the pants. The pants have attachment strips on the legs and pockets on the inside of the legs to house knee protectors. The attachment strips are positioned parallel to the end opening in the leg and are located on the inside face of the leg to not affect the appearance of the clothing. The pants also have a belt with male and female attachment strips for easy adjustment and a loop to hold the belt. The technical effects of the invention are that it allows for easy adjustment to different sizes and positions knee protectors in the right place without needing to alter the pants."

Problems solved by technology

However, this solution is not satisfactory as it means that many models have to be stored at the manufacturer's or retailer's premises.
However, the difference in morphology among motorcyclists means that it is not possible, a priori, to position these protectors in the right place for each wearer.
It thus appears that the motorcycle pants known in the prior art are not adapted to the morphology of motorcyclists, making them uncomfortable and preventing the protectors from being effective.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show a pair of pants 2 according to the invention. These pants 2 comprise two legs 3, each leg 3 having at its lower end an adjustable hem 4 comprising: [0023] a male attachment strip 5 located at the end of the leg 3, [0024] three female attachment strips 6 set back from the end of the leg 3,

these strips 5, 6 being positioned parallel to the end opening 7 in the leg 3.

[0025] The way in which this adjustable hem 4 works is shown in FIG. 3. The male attachment strip 5 is folded towards the inside of the end opening 7 in the leg and placed on top of one of the female attachment strips 6, to which it becomes fastened.

[0026] Thus the length of the leg 3 is reduced by a length corresponding to half the initial distance, before folding, between the male attachment strip 5 and the female attachment strip 6 to which the male attachment strip 6 is fastened.

[0027] The presence of three female attachment strips 6 allows the length of the leg to be adjusted by three ...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a pair of pants of adjustable size, designed in particular for motorcycling. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART [0002] As the morphology of motorcyclists may vary, it is necessary, for the same size of pants, to adapt the length of the legs for each wearer. [0003] It is thus possible for a manufacturer to provide several leg lengths for the same size of pants. However, this solution is not satisfactory as it means that many models have to be stored at the manufacturer's or retailer's premises. [0004] Consequently, retailers often order pants in a single leg length and then hem them themselves or hire somebody to do so. [0005] Motorcycle pants have a knee protector on each leg. However, the difference in morphology among motorcyclists means that it is not possible, a priori, to position these protectors in the right place for each wearer. [0006] Motorcycle pants are moreover designed to be worn on the outside, in condition...
