What's in Marty McFly's pants?

[DarkKnightRyan]

While researching parts for my Marty McFly 2015 costume, I ran across this photo on the prop store website, I know in the film Doc pulls Marty's pants pockets inside out, but during the whole hoverboard chase sequence, if you watch closely he appears to have some kind of square box things in each one? Anyone know why? logically if the pockets are inside out to begin with, it makes no sense at all how anything could be stored in them, lol. did production add pockets to the pants and weight them down?

I am betting they were weights to keep the flaps down while doing all the action scenes.

This title sounded borderline dirty

If I'm not mistaken they were part of the harness holding him up and the wires were removed digitally.

They actually used wood to fill the pockets! When Marty "barrows" the hoverboard from the little girl you can see the piece of wood that they put in his pockets laying on the ground. (It fel out and they forgot to take it away, so its in the movie) See on picture.
