       6 . A clothing system, comprising: 
 a overtrouser;    a undertrouser to be worn under the overtrouser, the undertrouser comprising a first leg portion, a second leg portion, and a plurality of fasteners for attaching the first leg portion to the second leg portion about a waist region of a wearer of the system;    wherein the undertrouser is configured such that, when the system is worn, the undertrouser may be removed without removing the overtrouser.    
   
   
       7 . A clothing system according to  claim 6 , wherein the undertrouser is configured to be attached to the overtrouser.  
   
   
       8 . A clothing system according to  claim 6 , wherein the first and second leg portions each include a front flap and a rear flap, the front and rear flaps configured such that, when the system is worn, a crotch region and a buttocks region of a wearer of the system are covered by the undertrouser.  
   
   
       9 . A clothing system according to  claim 6 , wherein the undertrouser comprises material that provides thermal insulation to a wearer of the system.  
   
   
       10 . A method for removing an undertrouser without removing an overtrouser worn over the undertrouser, said method comprising the steps of:

       12 . A method according to  claim 11 , wherein said adjusting step further comprises the step of detaching the undertrouser from the overtrouser.  
   
   
       13 . A method according to  claim 10 , wherein the overtrouser and the undertrouser provided in said providing step each comprise first and second leg portions, and said removing step comprises: 
 grasping and pulling downward upon a lower portion of the first leg portion of the undertrouser until the first leg portion of the undertrouser is completely removed from under the first leg portion of the overtrouser; and    grasping and pulling downward upon a lower portion of the second leg portion of the undertrouser until the second leg portion of the undertrouser is completely removed from under the second leg portion of the overtrouser.    
   
   
       14 . A method according to  claim 13 , wherein said adjusting step comprises the step of detaching the first and second leg portions of the undertrouser from one another.
