A pair of pants with removable leg pockets that are easily accessible both while standing and while sitting. Made of comfortable easy-to-care-for fabric with no metal for easier security screening. Standard pockets are near the waistband and farther down the leg are pockets that can be removed for security screening, repositioned so the tops are facing up while seated, and located to not be obstructed by the seat armrest. The pockets are roomy enough to hold multiple items (wallet, pda, pen, glasses). The pockets are the same on both legs so they are accessible from either side - depending on where other passengers are sitting.
I built a prototype pair of TravelPants and tested them on a flight to New York City. It was a success. Getting through the security checkpoint was easier. My glasses, pda, iPod, wallet, and pen all fit in the pockets and the items were very easy to access while seated on the plane. The contents also stayed in the pocket when I stood and walked down the aisle to the restroom.
Repositionable pockets for easy access to objects
(wallet, pda, pen, glasses) - pockets with top openings while seated.
Convenient access - pockets located beyond the armrest.
Removable pockets to put in security bin without having to empty pockets.
Pass thru security with minimal hassle - elastic or drawstring waistband - no need for a belt with metal buckle.
Easy-to-care-for machine washable fabric.
Comfortable - generous cut legs and breathable fabric.
Pockets large enough to hold multiple items - camera, wallet, pda. Corners of pockets rounded so small items (loose change) can't get buried.
Same set of pockets on each leg so items will be accessible from either side, depending on which side other passengers are sitting.
