Trousers with knee pads in enclosed pockets

摘要

A series of vertically overlapping pockets is sewn onto an attachment panel which is sufficiently wide to be sewn into the trouser leg at the inseam and outseam. It is long enough to be seamed into the waistband at the top. When the attachment panel is sewn into the fabric of the trousers, the series of overlapping pockets is positioned at the knee. A foam kneepad is inserted into a selected pocket. Each pocket has a top closure such as a hook-and-loop fastener to hold the kneepad in place and close the top of the pocket. Using different pockets selectively positions the kneepads so that they protect both the knee and the adjacent shin.
