Default Flying Pants designed for relief in flight

I've found the Peeto pants to work well, a little better than the
cargo pants.

The pockets are also oriented for more easy access from a
"declining" (seated) position.

As Kemp put it so very well in a BITS presentation pitch, the most
cost effective performance improvement you can make to your glider is
a relief tube. Handy access to the "tube" is part of the relief
process. I also used these back when I was towing banners in Bellanca
Scouts (a less reclined seating position, and no relief tube -- so
quart or gallon zip lock bags held "excess ballast") -- some of those
flights approached 6.5 hours...all at 2 knots above stall...

When I visited the link to Relief Wear, sadly they're not in
production anymore (I would've entertained buying a second pair...).
