Benefits of technology

[0013]The present invention substantially depart from the conventional concepts and prior arts. Several advantages of one or more aspects are that the pants assembly allows the waistband of pants to remain in place during restroom usage, whereby equipment and weapons worn about the waist remain tactically in place. Other advantages of one or more aspects are that the need to lower the pants are eliminated when the primary fastener member is in full open position, whereby a drop seat flap is formed providing easy access to the genital and buttocks of the wearer. Another advantage of one or more aspects of the pants is a secondary fastener member which can be utilized to close the drop seat opening during possible impairments of the primary fastener member. These and other advantages of one or more aspects will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing detailed description and accompanying drawings.

Problems solved by technology

For wearers of uniform pants, particularly police officers, it is extremely burdensome to remove and replace the equipment worn attached about the waistband of the pants when attending to restroom needs.

The current design of uniform pants have a short frontal opening which in general are not well suited for restroom usage for all wearers, more particularly women, wherein the pants must be lowered below the waist during every restroom usage.

These options are undesirable for officers for several reasons.

First and foremost, removing the equipment in either manner presents critical safety issues.

The officer is tactically disadvantaged during an emergency situation when the weapon is displaced from the waist.

Pants lowered down about the feet, with or without the equipment attached, cause the feet and legs to have limited movement, wherein the response time of the officer in an emergency situation is seriously delayed; and also creates an unsanitary condition.

Secondly, when the equipment remains attached to the pants it becomes very difficult
