Claim     1. Breakaway sports pants consisting of:

a) a front portion;

b) a back portion affixed to said front portion along a common inseam to form sports pants having an upper waist edge and left and right pant legs each having bottom edges and vertical outseams, said pant legs terminating each at a bottom thereof free of any gathering;

c) a breakaway zipper extending along each said outseam from said upper waist edge to said bottom edge of pant legs, each said breakaway zipper including front and back zipper tracks with matingly interlockable teeth, each of said front and back zipper tracks having separate upper and bottom edge portions such that said front and back zipper tracks form an integral outseam for wearing said sports pants when said matingly interlockable teeth matingly interlock and are completely separable for removing said sports pants when said matingly interlockable teeth are disengaged;

d) a slide slidably affixed to one of each of said front and back zipper tracks, each slide adapted to manipulate its respective teeth between matingly interlocking and disengaged orientations;

e) a closure flap affixed to an upper edge of one of each said front and back zipper tracks, each said closure flap adapted to removably attach to a second of said front and back zipper tracks and over its respective slide when the respective slide is positioned at the upper edge of its respective zipper track and said teeth are matingly interlocked such that each closure flap maintains its respective slide in position at the upper edge of respective zipper track;

f) a zipper pull having a frictional coating affixed to each said slide;

g) a fastening element for removably attaching each said closure flap to a second of said front and back zipper tracks;

h) wherein said fastening element comprises hook and loop fasteners;

i) a first of said zipper tracks has a top terminus point that extends beyond a top terminus point of a second of said zipper tracks;

j) one or more stops located at said top terminus point for retaining said slide on said first zipper track; and

k) a lip extending from a distal end of said zipper pull such that said lip presses into said zipper tracks when said closure flap is fastened over said slide, said slide is positioned at said upper edge of said zipper track and said teeth are matingly interlocked;

l) whereby complete breakaway for the entire length of said pants legs allows quick removal of the pants without the need of removing athletic shoes.
