Abstract: A lower body garment, such as athletic shorts or sweat pants for use during physical activity, comprises an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer has a waist opening and two leg openings and is made of a first material. The inner layer has a waist opening and two leg openings and is made of a second material, such as a material that is more elastic than the first material. A pocket extends from an opening in the outer layer through the inner layer to a cavity underneath the inner layer. The pocket comprises one or more panels that are attached to the inner layer in a manner so that contents in the cavity of the pocket may be compressed against the leg of a wearer by the inner layer.
