  Taking a semi-dry suit, which is a type of waterproof suit for marine sports, as an example, there are many things that use a stretchable collar neck as a detachable mouth, but from the viewpoint of ensuring waterproofness, the collar neck It was very difficult to prevent the water from entering from the neck of the collar.

In addition, many of the conventional marine sports waterproof suits are fitted with waterproof fasteners on the inside of the suit body, and the neck parts that can be tightened to improve the adhesion between the neck of the collar and the neck, water intrusion from the top of the neck of the collar I was trying to prevent.
However, when the waterproof fastener is in the closed state, the slider is positioned on the upper end side of the waterproof fastener, so a gap is created between the neck part and the neck due to the thickness of this slider. The intrusion of water could not be prevented.

  In addition, there is an attempt to cover the outer side of the neck with a tubular neck ring having elasticity, which is a separate member, thereby preventing water from entering, but due to the thickness of the slider, a gap is created, It was difficult to completely prevent water intrusion. In addition, in order to reduce the thickness of the slider, an attempt was made to reduce the size of the waterproof fastener and reduce the gap between the neck part and the neck. With the downsizing of the fastener, an excessive force is applied to the fastener, and there are many accidents in which the fastener end portion is torn, resulting in a problem in durability.

  As a result of earnest research to solve the above problems related to the waterproofness of marine sports waterproof suits including semi-dry suits, the present inventor has led to the completion of marine sports waterproof suits that can substantially solve these problems. It is proposed here as the present invention.

  A waterproof type that is made of a waterproof and stretchable material and has a cylindrical stand-up part that fits tightly around the neck, so that both the top and bottom stops can be separated on the surface of a waterproof suit for marine sports The above-mentioned problem has been solved by attaching the open fastener upside down so that the lower stopper reaches the upper edge of the standing heel part and the upper stopper reaches the upper chest part of the suit body.

  Raise the slider of the open fastener to the upper end, separate the elements that have been meshed so far, remove both the bottom stopper and the top stopper, separate the tape on both sides, and use both hands to hold the stretchable stand Insert the body into the suit body sequentially from the toes to the neck using the sufficient opening space formed by separating the tape and the elastic expansion of the standing heel. A pair of bottom stops located on the upper edge are joined, the slider is lowered toward the chest of the suit body, the open fastener is closed, and the mounting work is completed.

As described above, the open space necessary for insertion of the body is secured by elastic expansion of the standing part and separation of the pair of tapes of the open fastener to the left and right. It is enough to minimize water intrusion from the fastener.
In addition, an open fastener that can separate both the top and bottom stoppers is used, and a pair of tapes can be completely separated, so the burden on the fastener part during attachment and removal can be significantly reduced and the fastener part can be damaged. And sufficient durability is imparted.

  Furthermore, when the open fastener is in the closed state, the slider is located at the chest, and since there is no bulge due to the slider in the standing heel, a cylindrical shape made of a waterproof and stretchable material is used to improve waterproofness. Even if the neck ring is placed on the outside of the standing heel part, there is almost no gap between the neck ring and the standing heel part, and waterproofness is effectively ensured. Moreover, unlike the conventional one, the wearer's neck is not compressed by the thickness of the slider, and a comfortable wearing feeling is brought about.
