Eventually, this is an S-shape that halves the vertical width of the fold-fold. Moreover, in patent document 2, it becomes V shape reciprocating the sandwich-like vertical width. On the other hand, in this embodiment, it becomes an N-shape that reciprocates in the sandwich-like vertical width (see FIG. 1A), and similarly confines water in the intrusion route, which is almost equivalent to Patent Document 1. Watertightness can be expected.

  Further, the auxiliary belt 19 can provide further watertightness. Further, the auxiliary belt 19 functions as a Velcro tape (registered trademark) 15 to enhance the prevention of displacement between the upper garment 3 and the trousers 5 and prevent the auxiliary belt 19 and the wet suit 1 from being displaced. As a result, even if intense exercise is performed, no deviation occurs.

Further, the length of the Velcro tape (registered trademark) 15 in the vertical direction is set to 12 cm, for example, so that the length of the Velcro tape (registered trademark) 15 is sufficiently long to compensate for a change in elongation of the person wearing the clothes.
In addition, by placing a sandwich-like part of polychloroprene fabric or stretchable fabric with equivalent waterproofness and heat retention on the lumbar portion of the wearer, the heat insulation effect of the lumbar portion 15 is enhanced and assisted Prevention of back pain can be expected due to the effect of tightening the lumbar part by the belt.

(Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, four Velcro tapes (registered trademark) 15 are provided in the circumferential direction, but in other embodiments, five or more or three may be provided.

  Moreover, in the above embodiment, the Velcro tape 15 (registered trademark) provided in the quadruple sandwich-like portion is provided on the front side of the first belt-like portion 9, the front side and the back side of the second belt-like portion 13, and above the trousers 5. Although it is provided on a total of six surfaces of the front side and the back side of the trunk portion 7 and the back side of the hem 11 of the upper garment 3, in another embodiment, it can be 5 or less. For example, it may be provided on a total of four surfaces, that is, the front side of the first belt-like portion 9, the back side of the second belt-like portion 13, the front side of the trunk portion 7 above the trousers 5, and the back side of the hem 11 of the upper garment 3.

  Moreover, in the above embodiment, the upper garment 3 was a long-sleeved upper garment and the trousers 5 were long trousers, but in other embodiments, various combinations are possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper garment 3 can be a long sleeve upper garment (FIG. (A1)), a short sleeve upper garment (FIG. (A2)), or a sleeveless vest (FIG. (A3)). The pants 5 can be short pants (the figure (B2)) in addition to the long pants (the figure (B1)). These types of upper garments 3 and trousers 5 can be arbitrarily combined.

  Moreover, in the above embodiment, the division part of the wet suit 1 in which the invention is implemented is a division part between the upper garment 3 and the trousers 5 constituting the two-piece type wet suit 1, but in other embodiments, The wrist portion or the ankle portion of the wet suit 1 can be divided into divided portions, and diving gloves and boots can be easily attached and detached, respectively.
