Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to athletic or leisure apparel, such as running shorts or pants. In some embodiments, a garment includes an outer shell coupled to a band and an inner shell disposed within the outer shell and coupled to the band. The outer shell includes a first material having a first surface area, and the inner shell includes a second material having a second surface area that is less than the first surface area. A pocket is coupled to, and extends from, an inner surface of the outer shell. A coupling mechanism secures the pocket to the inner shell. In some embodiments, the coupling mechanism is a second pocket comprising the second material and coupled to the inner shell. In some embodiments, the coupling mechanism includes a stitch or a tether.

Abstract: A men's swimsuit that includes an outer shell having an outer-shell waistband; and an inner liner that defines an interior lumen. The inner liner includes an inner-liner waistband attached to the outer-shell waistband; and a pair of inner-liner leg sleeves extending from the inner-liner waistband. Each inner-liner leg sleeve terminates in a hem configured to exert a radially compressive force urging the hem against a thigh passing therethrough. As a result, the hems of the inner-liner leg sleeves, in cooperation with the inner-liner waistband, prevent particulate matter from reaching the interior lumen of the inner liner.
