Abstract
A pair of athletic pants comprising a body portion including a waistband and a seat, and two legs depending from the body portion, wherein the seat comprises a plurality of panels shaped and assembled so that when a wearer of the pants assumes a crouched position the pants are adapted to closely conform to the buttocks of the wearer with the panels in a substantially unstressed condition. The seat comprises a center panel extending from the waist band to at least the crotch, and tapering from the waistband to the crotch. Two seat panels adapted to extend over the buttocks of the wearer are joined along their respective inside edges to the center panel. A leg panel extends downwardly from each seat panel and is adapted to cover at least a portion of the wearer's leg. The seat protrudes at the junction of the seat and leg panels to accommodate the buttocks of the wearer in a crouched position.
