Abstract
A fly closure includes two overlapping flaps which form a shield in a garment, such as shorts or pants. The shield lies flat behind the fly when the fly is closed and provides privacy for the wearer through a mid-section of the fly. When the fly is in an open position, the shield opens to allow the wearer to pull the garment on or off. A flow-through passage at the bottom of the shield enables unrestricted flow of water, sand, etc. through the shield during water play activities of the wearer.
