Hey, thank you for listing them. I’m still looking through them and a lot just say “with pockets” not necessarily with “large pockets” which is fine but I’m willing to bet they’re like every other womens pant in a large store that “has” pockets which is barely enough to fit chapstick in.
Some of these pants are locally available to me so I can go and physically check but just pointing out that off the bat containing pockets doesn’t mean they contain sufficient pockets.
I’ll drop this link to a video that goes over pocket fashion history but from what I know of it the option of large pockets largely never existed for women in a meaningful way. By the time we as a society moved away from men using under garment bags we never gave women the same option.
But yes, currently it’s popular. There is pressure to wear form fitting clothing. There is pressure to have a bag to accomodate the lack of pockets. This will continue a perpetual demand for small/false pockets.
I’m not sure that they’re necessarily “widely available” or available “from any major retailer” I searched what you suggested and found a bunch of drop shipped results on amazon, walmart, and random sketchy sites.
I guess to me “widely available, almost anywhere, from any major retailer” sounds like these pants have saturated the market enough that I should be able to find them at any department store but honestly I have never seen large pocket options for women in a physical store. If there are physical stores carrying this option that you know of please let me know because I would love to be able to go try them out!
Oh absolutely true about smx pads being expensive. I got mine both 2nd hand from fb marketplace at a bit of a discount.
Outfox just released a new major update that fixes a lot of things but I would say they still have a good amount of work to do. They’re trying really hard to modernize stepmania and so far they have some impressive results. For me I like that they support much higher frame rates than stepmania which pairs well with my 144hz monitor.
For my smx pads I did make custom arrows that change when pressed. I didn’t do any of the fancy gif ones but they’re not hard to make/use. They have software that you can use to edit the pad’s LEDs and the underglow.
Probably the best feature of the smx pads is being able to set custom ranges for sensor sensitivity. I can basically control the definition of an arrow press which is pretty handy
Highly agree, I play all of those games and they’re all quite fun. I have stepmaniax pads setup for home play with stepmania/outfox/itgmamia.

Just overall needs a refresher survey as this is too old and too much has changed
Ah I see. Unfortunately this happens a lot. The photo may show they can fit their hands inside but there are a lot of times the pockets in person are still just so so small. Its quite disheartening.
I’m not saying these pants don’t exist, I was just pointing out that I’ve never seen them exist at both the size and level of availability you described originally.
I’ll still check out the ones available locally to me that seemed hopefully sufficient and get back to you if they work out!
