I have those kind of pants and a couple of shorts... I could use them but I lack confidense, altough I've been working out so my legs are in good shape at least.
"Good lord! It's eighty degrees outside! Twenty degrees more and water is boiling! and you're messing with your pant legs, what the fuck is wrong with you?"
I've wanted to invent modular clothing where a lot of the pieces are interchangeable so you just zip off the legs and zip them to your shirt on case your arms are cold but your legs aren't.
Okay so I was going to post a link to a Lego set as a joke but I can't remember the name of the theme. It was this set where these aliens could shape shift by swapping their arms and legs with other aliens. The joke being that arms and legs were interchangeable.
You could then simply zip off some more from your belly fabric and append-zip it on your arms. Or if you're even colder, zip it on your neck to get a polo neck. Hell, ideas are coming in!
After thousands of steps I'd like to have removable legs. To put them into the freezer until tomorrow and wake up to them ready for another round of abuse.
I have 2 pairs of those pants, but they are my fishing pants. That means I wear them while chopping a path to a fishing spot. Then I zip the legs off and go for a swim when it gets too hot to fish. They are also made from a material that dries really fast.
But they are purely utilitarian. My partner thinks I look like a dork in them. But they aren’t there when I zip the legs off and get all sexy alone in the woods. Lol.
