Abstract

The combined feature of a long vertical Zipper inserted into the back of a pair of traditional jeans and complimenting undergarments with a vertical open overlapping flap is simplifying the use of a bathroom (from a woman's prospective) while dressed in full leather gear during motorcycle rides.

It can be a long and difficult task to undo and redo all layered clothing underneath the leather Chaps during rest stops—Jeans and Chaps now stay in place. I invented this amazing feature for traditional pants in order to simplify certain tasks related to bathroom breaks during motorcycle rides while wearing protective Chaps. This invention will benefit everybody who owns a motorcycle or other similar recreational vehicle and/or a pair of leather Chaps.

Description

BACKGROUND
• I am a long time passenger on my husband's Honda Goldwing Motorcycle. We usually dress in full leather gear for our protection, especially on long trips.
• The drawback for me as a woman is the challenge to use the restroom at our rest stops. With the layered clothing during the colder riding season it takes a long time and a lot of effort to unbuckle and drop my leather Chaps, unzip and drop my jeans and get to the remaining articles of clothing underneath. The same goes in reverse for getting dressed, tucked in, then zipped up and buckled up.
• I envisioned an easier way to get through these rest stop tasks by imagining a vertical Zipper along the entire back seam of my jeans. This idea would be complimented by specialty briefs with a vertical flap opening in the back matching the zippered opening of the jeans. This way I could just unzip, unfold, use the facilities and be back on the road after a quick zip up.

SPECIFICATION
• This invention consists of a long Zipper inserted vertically into the entire back seam of a pair of jeans. It begins in the center seam right below the back waist band and extends all the way to the front ending at the point of the fly.
• This feature allows the jeans and Chaps to stay in place while using a restroom since the waistband holding the jeans is not disturbed therefore making the unbuckling of the Chaps unnecessary. The back Zipper creates an opening for the ease of using a bathroom while wearing the leather Chaps.
• To make the easy Zipper feature complete and functioning properly it is suggested for the complimenting underwear to be worn under the UnderChaps. It is designed with a vertical open overlapping flap along the whole back, duplicating the opening created by the Zipper in the jeans.
