For pants I would suggest instead just two legs atatched to a belt (or trousers) a bit like what the cowboys used (in leather). That way you avoid the crotch problem and the ventilation is better, even if it is cheap (not breathable material). Also easyer to put on and take off. If you use them you need a longer coat or a cape to cower the "below belt" area.
