Definitions

  • the present invention concerns fishermens waders comprising flotation buoyancy aids:
  • the buoyancy means is arranged above the waistline of the wearer extending upwardly towards the neck of the wearer.
  • the buoyancy means is arranged to provide greater buoyancy in the chest region of the waders than in the back region of the waders such that, in use, the wearer will tend to float with their face upwards and clear of the water.
  • buoyancy means comprising polymeric foam avoids the problems associated with the prior art since, even when perforated or cut by sharp objects such as fishing hooks, the buoyancy of the polymeric foam is not compromised.
  • the buoyancy means comprises at least one closed cell foam plastic panel provided on the body portion of the waders, at least the on front portion thereof.
  • the one or more foam plastic panels may be secured to either the inner or outer surfaces of the body portion of the waders by stitching, adhesive or other fastening means.
  • the foam plastic panels are inserted into envelopes or bags formed from fabric material, such as nylon, said envelopes or bags being secured to the body portion of the waders by stitching or other fastening means such as press studs, hook and loop fastening systems (e.g. Velcro RTM) or zippers.
  • fabric material such as nylon
  • fastening means such as press studs, hook and loop fastening systems (e.g. Velcro RTM) or zippers.
  • buoyancy means could be detachable from the waders to permit removal and/or replacement thereof.
  • the thickness or otherwise nature or arrangement of the foam plastic panels is preferably greater on the front of the waders than on the back so that, in use, when floating the face of the wearer remains clear of the water to prevent drowning.
  • the waders can be made from any material, fabric, such as neoprene, rubber, nylon, polyester or any other suitable material used for the production of waders.
  • the waders 1 are in the form of salopettes or bib and brace comprising a trouser portion 2 having integrally formed leg and foot portions and a body portion 3 rising above the trouser portion 2 having cutouts 4 for the armpits and extending upwardly to cover the waist, chest and back of a wearer up to shoulder height.
  • Braces 5 extend upwardly between from the front and rear sections of the body portion 3 of the waders 1 to retain the waders on the wearer.
  • Flotation panels 6,7,8,9 formed of closed cell polymeric foam are provided on the front and rear of the body portion 3 of the waders 1 above the waist of the wearer such that the body portion 3 of the waders resembles a life jacket, providing sufficient buoyancy up to shoulder height to keep the wearers head above the water should the wearer fall or attempt to wade into deep water.
  • Each flotation panel 6,7,8,9 is inserted into a nylon pocket (not shown) stitched to the inner surface of the body portion of the waders.
  • the flotation panels may be secured to the outer surface of the body portion of the waders. It is also envisaged that the flotation panels may be secured to waders by other means, such as adhesive or may be sandwiched between two layers forming the body portion of the waders.
  • the thickness of the flotation panels 6, 7 provided on the front region of the waders covering the chest of the wearer is greater than the thickness of the panels 8, 9 on the rear of the body portion covering the back of the wearer such that the front of the waders has a greater buoyancy than the rear so that the wearer will tend to float with their face upwards, reducing the risk of the wearers face being held beneath the water and thus reducing the risk of drowning in the event that the wearer is rendered unconscious in the event of an accident.
