An article of apparel may include a base layer and a cover layer. The cover layer may be stitchlessly-secured to an exterior surface of the base layer and positioned to extend along a side area and from a pelvic region to a leg region of the base layer. A width of the cover layer may be greater in the pelvic region than the first leg region. In some configurations, a frictional resistance of the exterior surface of the base layer may be greater than a frictional resistance of a surface of the cover layer.

1. An article of apparel comprising: a base layer having a pelvic region, a first leg region extending from the pelvic region, and a second leg region extending from the pelvic region, the base layer having an interior surface and an opposite exterior surface that faces away from the interior surface, and the base layer being formed from a textile material; anda cover layer secured to the exterior surface of the base layer and positioned to extend from a side area of the pelvic region to a side area of the first leg region, and the cover layer being formed from a single material selected from a group consisting of (a) a polymer-coated textile, (b) a two-layer polymer film, and (c) a polyamide, polyester, polyolefin, or vinyl film, wherein the cover layer is bonded directly to the base layer without an intermediate layer positioned between the cover layer and the base layer, wherein the cover layer includes a posterior edge having a first apex portion and an anterior edge having a second apex portion, which is centrally located relative to a length of the anterior edge of the cover layer. 2. The article of apparel recited in claim 1, wherein another cover layer is stitchlessly-secured to the exterior surface of the base layer and positioned to extend from an opposite side of the pelvic region to a side of the second leg region. 3. The article of apparel recited in claim 2, wherein a width of the another cover layer is greater in the pelvic region than the second leg region. 4. The article of apparel recited in claim 1, wherein the cover layer is formed from the two-layer polymer film, and wherein a frictional resistance of the exterior surface of the base layer is greater than a frictional resistance of a surface of the cover layer. 5. The article of apparel recited in claim 1, wherein a majority of an area of the cover layer is located in a rearward portion of the article of apparel. 6. The article of apparel recited in claim 1, wherein the cover layer has an interior surface facing the base layer and an exterior surface facing away from the wearer, and the cover layer defines at least one aperture that exposes the exterior surface of the base layer, the at least one aperture extending through the cover layer and from the interior surface of the cover layer to the exterior surface of the cover layer. 7. The article of apparel recited in claim 1, wherein the cover layer is formed from the polymer-coated textile, and wherein a frictional resistance of the exterior surface of the base layer is greater than a frictional resistance of a surface of the cover layer. 8. The article of apparel recited in claim 1, wherein the cover layer includes a side that faces towards the opposite exterior surface of the base layer and wherein substantially all of the side is bonded to the opposite exterior surface. 9. An article of apparel comprising: a base layer having a pelvic region, a first leg region extending from the pelvic region, and a second leg region extending from the pelvic region, the base layer having a base-layer interior surface and a base-layer exterior surface that faces away from the base-layer interior surface;a cover layer secured to the base-layer exterior surface and positioned to extend from a side area of the pelvic region to a side area of the first leg region, the cover layer having a cover-layer interior surface facing towards the base-layer exterior surface and a cover-layer exterior surface facing away from the cover-layer interior surface, the cover layer defining at least one aperture that extends through the cover layer and from the cover-layer interior surface to the cover-layer exterior surface, wherein the at least one aperture exposes at least one portion of the base-layer exterior surface and an exterior surface of the article of apparel includes the at least one portion of the exterior surface of the base layer,wherein the cover layer forms at least a portion of the exterior surface of the article of apparel, andwherein a portion of the cover layer extends to the side area of the first leg region and includes an anterior edge that extends diagonally from a superior lateral position to an inferior medial position; anda cushioning layer positioned between the base layer and the cover layer, wherein edges of the cushioning layer are spaced inward from edges of the cover layer. 10. The article of apparel recited in claim 9, wherein the base layer is formed from a textile material, and the cover layer is at least partially formed from a non-textile material. 11. The article of apparel recited in claim 9, wherein another cover layer is stitchlessly-secured to the exterior surface of the base layer and positioned to extend from an opposite side of the pelvic region to a side of the second leg region. 12. An undergarment comprising: a base layer having a pelvic region, a first leg region, and a second leg region, an upper area of the pelvic region defining a waist opening, a lower area of the first leg region defining a first leg opening, and a lower area of the second leg region defining a second leg opening; anda single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer secured directly to an exterior surface of the first leg region without an intermediate layer positioned between the cover layer and the base layer and extending from the upper area of the pelvic region to the lower area of the first leg region, wherein a portion of the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer extends to the lower area of the first leg region and includes an anterior edge that extends diagonally from a superior lateral position to an inferior medial position;wherein a frictional resistance of the exterior surface of the base layer is greater than a frictional resistance of an exterior surface of the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer, and wherein the single-layer, friction reducing cover layer forms at least a portion of the exterior surface of the undergarment. 13. The undergarment recited in 12, wherein the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer includes a polymer-coated textile, a two-layer polymer film, or a polyamide, polyester, polyolefin, or vinyl film. 14. The undergarment recited in claim 12, wherein the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer defines at least one or more apertures that extend through the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer to expose one or more portions of the exterior surface of the base layer, and an exterior surface of the article of apparel includes the one or more portions of the exterior surface of the base layer. 15. The undergarment of claim 12, wherein an upper area of the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer includes a femoral-joint-protecting portion and a lower area of the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer includes a side-leg-protecting portion. 16. The undergarment of claim 12, wherein the pelvic region includes a posterior portion including a buttock-receiving portion, and wherein the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer includes a portion covering the buttock-receiving portion. 17. The undergarment of claim 16, wherein the single-layer, friction-reducing cover layer includes a plurality of discrete cover-layer portions.
