Sport Pants are loose cotton trousers made for exercise and casual wear. They sit in the pants slot and cover the legs from the groin down to the shins. They are light, easy to find and easy to replace.
Their main strength is how common they are. Their main cost is weak warmth, so they suit summer better than winter. They turn up in sports stores, clothing stores, laundries and many home wardrobes. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Sport Pants keep the legs only a little warm and let a fair amount of wind through. They are a good fit for warm weather or for heavy work that makes the body hot. In autumn and winter they need a warmer layer, or a swap for heavier trousers.
Plain Pants keep the legs noticeably warmer and block far more wind. Suit Pants also run a little warmer and turn away a small share of scratches. Survivors who expect close fighting should pick jeans, military pants or leather pants for the legs.
The pants fill the main pants slot. They cannot be worn with other trousers, shorts, skirts, dresses or a full body suit.
Tailoring
Sport Pants are cotton. Ripping them with the Rip Clothing recipe gives Rags, which are useful for bandages and patching. Holes in cotton clothes are patched with Rags, and a higher Tailoring level makes the patch stronger. The Research Craft option on the pants teaches Sew Pants.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Sport Pants and teaches the recipes below.

Notes

- Researching them teaches Sew Pants, a useful early Tailoring recipe.
- A warmer pair of trousers is worth finding before the first cold snap.
