Lower-body garment, notably for participating sports, with a pocket

Abstract

A bottom clothing, in particular for the practice of tennis, including a waist part formed by one or several panels and including an upper end delimiting a waist opening, and a lower end delimiting at least one opening for the passage the user's legs, and a pocket formed by at least one upper panel mounted on the waist part and covering a portion of the waist part, the pocket being accessible through an opening delimited by the free edge of the at least one upper panel. The pocket opening extends substantially parallel to the waist opening, and is oriented towards the lower end of the waist part. The at least one upper panel and the waist part portion covered by the at least one upper panel are made of compressive materials and have an elasticity, particularly a 50% elongation force, which is different.
