A method of manufacturing barrel racer rodeo pants, comprising the steps of:

• a. providing a pair of pants having a front portion and a back portion terminally joined at an inner seam and an outer seam, wherein a first piece of material and a second piece of material overlap at a location on each pant leg of said front portion to provide a corresponding access on each said pant leg from the outside to the inside of said pair of pants;
• b. securing a pocket to the interior surface of said each pant leg of said front portion each responsive to said corresponding access, wherein at least a portion of each said pocket comprises elastically tensionable material;
• and
• c. providing a protector element removably insertable in each said pocket through said corresponding access.
