Abstract

Garment (100) having a front face (101) for covering at least part of the front of a user when worn and a rear face (103) for covering at least part of the rear of the user when worn. The garment (100) comprises a plurality of panels (105, 107, 109) joined together with seams (111, 113, 115). An electrically conductive pathway (116) extends from a first terminal region (117) located on the front face (101) of the garment (100) to a second terminal region (119) located on the rear face of the garment (100). The electrically conductive pathway (116) is provided on a single panel (107) of the garment (100) such that the electrically conductive pathway (116) does not intersect any of the seams (111, 113, 115) of the garment (100).

Claims (25)

1. A garment having a front face for covering at least part of the front of a user when worn and a rear face for covering at least part of the rear of the user when worn, the garment comprising: a plurality of panels joined together with seams; and an electrically conductive pathway extending from a first terminal region located on the front face of the garment to a second terminal region located on the rear face of the garment, wherein the electrically conductive pathway is provided on a single panel of the garment such that the electrically conductive pathway does not intersect any of the seams of the garment.
2. A garment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of panels comprise a left panel and a right panel, wherein the left panel and the right panel are joined together by a seam extending along a central region of the garment, and wherein the electrically conductive pathway is provided on one of the left and right panels of the garment.
3. A garment as claimed in claim 2, wherein the left panel and the right panel are joined together by a central front seam extending along a central front region of the garment and a central rear seam extending along a central rear region of the garment.
4. A garment as claimed in claim 2 or 3, wherein the electrically conductive pathway is provided on the left panel of the garment .
5. A garment as claimed in claim 4, wherein the right panel comprises a front right panel and a rear right panel, and wherein the front right panel and the rear right panel are joined together by a right side seam extending along a right side of the garment.
6. A garment as claimed in any preceding claim, further comprising an electronics module holder arranged to retain an electronics module, wherein, when positioned in the electronics module holder, the electronics module is arranged to be brought into communication with the first or second terminal region of the electrically conductive pathway .
7. A garment as claimed in claim 6, wherein the electronics module holder is aligned with the first or second terminal region of the electrically conductive pathway.
8. A garment as claimed in claim 6 or 7, wherein the electronics module holder is located on the front face of the garment and the electronics module, when positioned in the electronics module holder, is arranged to be brought into communication with the first terminal region of the electrically conductive pathway.
9. A garment as claimed in any of claims 6 to 8, wherein the electronics module holder is a pocket.
10. A garment as claimed in any of claims 6 to 9, wherein the electronics module holder is located on an external surface of the garment.
11. A garment as claimed in any of claims 6 to 10, wherein the electronics module holder is located on an inner surface of the garment.
12. A garment as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the second terminal region comprises an electrode.
