Abstract
The present invention provides pants, such as pants that are worn as work uniform pants, which are configured to provide significant improvements in a wearer's comfort, performance, and mobility over a predefined range of motions. Embodiments of the pants comprise one or more stretch panels that are configured to provide for stretching of the pant at an identified micro site in order to provide a wearer with enhanced mobility. Additionally, the manner in which the various portions of the pant are connected together may be adjusted in order to provide a wearer with enhanced mobility.

A pant configured for enhanced mobility, comprising:
- a first leg portion and a second leg portion, each of the first leg portion and the second leg portion including a front panel and a rear panel;
- a waistband;
- at least one stretch panel located on the rear panel of the first leg portion;
- and
- at least one stretch panel located on the rear panel of the second leg portion,
- wherein the rear panels of the first leg portion and second leg portion are each respectively divided into an upper region and a lower region by a substantially diagonal seam, each substantially diagonal seam extending from a point at a rear seam of the pant downward to a point at an outer seam of the respective first leg portion and second leg portion,
- wherein a bottom edge of each of the stretch panels of the first leg portion and the second leg portion coincides, respectively, with each substantially diagonal seam of the first leg portion and the second leg portion, and extends, respectively, along the entire length of the substantially diagonal seam of the first leg portion and the second leg portion,
- wherein at least a portion of a top edge of each of the stretch panels coincides with a bottom edge of the waistband,
- wherein an outer edge of each of the stretch panels of the first leg portion and the second leg portion coincides, respectively, with the outer seam of the first leg portion and the second leg portion, and
