Abstract:

An all-in-one slider sport pants is disclosed that protects the leg, thigh, hip and buttocks area of a softball player sliding into base. The pants can be made either in baseball-pants length, or in a shorter version, and have a thin, foam padding encircling substantially three-quarters of the player's thigh and leg and covering the hip area and most of the buttocks, sewn between layers of a double knit, polyester material. The waistband is constructed with a wider-than-normal elastic material and double snaps and zipped fly to give secure, yet comfortable, fit. The foam padding can be made of synthetic foam rubber or foam plastic and is sewn, using polyester thread and zig-zag stitching, in between the outer polyester layer and the inner layer at the waist band, the side seams and along longitudinal seams down both front and back sides of the legs to prevent slipping or bunching thereof during body movement or laundering.
