Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a wetsuit worn when playing sports such as surfing and jet skiing.

Background Art Wet suits are used as underwater sports clothing, for example, to maintain watertightness, prevent loss of body temperature, and prevent injury accidents. Formed as a continuous combination clothing,
And sufficient elasticity, adhesion, water resistance, watertightness, heat insulation,
Since it is necessary to have warmth and the like, and to be lightweight, and to be comfortable to wear without compromising the curvaceousness, the whole is treated with synthetic rubber seal processing or skin processing on foamed synthetic resin fabric. Use a stretchable fabric such as rubber or a closed-cell type neoprene rubber to cover almost the entire surface of the wearer's body, that is, the body surface other than the head, hands, and feet. Is made.

However, if the wearer's body is covered integrally at all times, it may be hot and the movements of the limbs, especially the smooth movement of the upper arm, may be slightly hindered, which is not always sufficient. Depending on the type, if it is not necessary to avoid injury accidents and loss of body temperature as a whole, or if you are still wearing it after prescribed exercise, it is necessary to cover the hands and feet. Therefore, it is desirable that the wetsuit can be deformed into short sleeves or short pants if necessary.

For this purpose, it is possible to form the entire sleeve into two parts that are detachably connected with a connecting tape or the like and to remove the tip end side to make a short sleeve, as in the case of mountaineering and mountaineering clothes used in recent years. However, if it is simply connected with a connecting tape, etc., it will not be possible to maintain the original watertightness and heat retention by water immersion from the connection part if it is used underwater like a wet suit. Then
Further, if the structure is such that the elbow part and knee part are strongly pressed like the wrist part and the ankle part when worn, there is a problem that the motility of the hands and feet is significantly impaired, which is not practical.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional wet suits described above, and can easily adopt a full-body type and a short-sleeved short pants type that wrap almost the whole body according to the purpose of use.
