| Abstract: |
Easily removable and donnable pants. The pants employ a releasable seam along the outside of each leg and a plurality of separate hook and loop fastener segments distributed along the seam for closing the seam. The lowest fastener, at the bottom of the pant leg, offers less resistance than those above it. The highest fastener, at the waist of the pants, offers more resistance than those below it. The lowest and highest fasteners comprise tabs, to permit adjustment of the waist and ankles of the pants to the size of the wearer, while those in between preferably are wave shaped. Preferably, the waist and ankle are provided with elastic material to make those portions of the pants adjustable and snug.

1. Easily removable and donnable pants having a waist and two legs, comprising:
- (a) pants having a releasable seam extending upwardly from the bottom end of each pant leg along the outside thereof, each said seam having two opposing, overlapping parts; and
- (b) a plurality of hook and loop fastener segments disposed along each said seam, the hook portion of each said fastener segment being disposed on one part of each said seam and the loop portion of each said fastener segment being disposed on the other part of each said seam to fasten said one part to said other part, wherein the lowest of said fasteners on each leg is constructed so as to require less force to release than one or more fasteners disposed higher on the same seam.
