Description

Clothing, in particular rain protection clothing

The invention relates to an item of clothing, in particular rain protection clothing, with a hood, an upper part for the upper body and the arms and a lower part for the lower body. The item of clothing has an integrated pocket that serves both as a normal pocket for a handkerchief, etc., and can also accommodate the entire item of clothing in the folded state when it is folded out. The lower part of the garment can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a coat. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing according to the invention can thereby be worn as an overall, rain jacket or raincoat. Optionally, the item of clothing also has a rainproof shoe protection.

Articles of clothing, in particular rain protection clothing, are already known in various forms. Rain ponchos, for example, are pulled over the head and offer protection for the upper body and head. However, only inadequate protection for the arms and legs. Furthermore, a rain poncho generally plays around the wearer's body very generously. The excess material is, however, perceived by many wearers as a nuisance, as it offers a large area of attack in the wind. Furthermore, the excess material can also represent a source of danger, especially when moving, for example on a bicycle, since the poncho can get caught in the spokes of the wheels.

Also known are rain protection overalls that take the typical posture of a cyclist into account by having an additional supply of fabric in the back area of the overalls, which is suitable both to take into account the curved posture of a cyclist and also offers enough space to take a rucksack under the rain overalls ( AT 14 225 Ul). However, the feet are not covered by the rain overall and are therefore exposed to external influences without protection. If it rains heavily or continuously or if you wear footwear that is unsuitable for rain, such as cloth shoes or open-toe shoes, you must therefore expect your feet to get wet. Furthermore, the body shape of each wearer of the rainwear is different. The items of clothing known from the prior art are each available in a specific size. For wearers whose physique is smaller than the size of the garment there is an excess of fabric which many users of such a piece of clothing find annoying.

In addition to the lack of comfort, the rain protection clothing known from the prior art offer few features to increase safety in road traffic. Especially when it rains, the view of all participants in road traffic is often severely restricted by little light, heavy rain or spray that is thrown up by vehicles. The items of clothing known from the prior art have reflectors which, when illuminated by an external light source, such as car lighting, reflect the light and thus increase the visibility of the wearer. However, if the wearer of such an item of clothing is outside the light cone of a light source, the reflectors of the item of clothing are ineffective.

Rain protection clothing is used by cyclists, who sometimes move at a very high speed in traffic, especially since bicycles with electric drives have become more and more popular. In the event of a fall, the items of clothing that are known from the prior art do not offer any protection. They only provide protection against rain.

Today, a wearer wants rain protection clothing to provide as complete protection as possible against external influences, at the same time as being as comfortable as possible and being extremely safe in road traffic.

The object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an item of clothing, in particular rain protection clothing, which protects as completely as possible from external influences and at the same time offers high wearing comfort and additional safety in traffic.

The object of the invention is achieved by an item of clothing, in particular rain protection clothing, with a hood, an upper part for the upper body and the arms and a lower part for the lower body,

an integrated pocket which has at least one strap and which can hold the entire item of clothing in the folded state;

characterized in that the lower part can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a coat;

solved.

Detailed description

The subject matter of the invention is an item of clothing, in particular rain protection clothing, with a hood, an upper part for the upper body and the arms and a lower part for the lower body.

In one embodiment of the invention, the lower part and the upper part are releasably connected to one another. A detachable connection can be realized, for example, by a zipper, buttons, press studs or at least one Velcro fastener. In this embodiment, the upper part of the item of clothing can also be worn as a jacket without the lower part being on the item of clothing.

In a preferred embodiment, the lower part and the upper part are firmly connected to one another. In this embodiment the upper part cannot be detached from the lower part.

The hood of the garment is cut so that it can be pulled over a helmet. Furthermore, the cut shape of the item of clothing takes into account the special requirements of a cyclist, so the item of clothing has a stock of fabric in the back that is suitable for leaving enough space for the wearer's body to assume the typical stooped posture when cycling. Furthermore, the item of clothing is suitable for transporting a rucksack under the item of clothing. A sectional shape that meets these requirements is already known from the prior art and can be found, for example, in utility model AT 14 225 U1. The item of clothing according to the invention is closed by means of a zipper.

The item of clothing according to the invention can preferably have two cut shapes, one cut shape having a fit for women and one cut shape having a fit for men. In particular, the cut shapes take into account the anatomical structure of men and women. The waist height, as well as the length of the sleeves and legs, are adapted to the anatomical conditions of men and women. Both cuts can be made in all known sizes. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing can also have double clothing sizes such as S / M or L / XL.

In one embodiment of the invention, the individual cut parts are sewn together. After sewing, the seams are also taped over so that the perforation that has been created by the sewing is sealed. In one embodiment, a protective layer made of very thin textile tape can also be applied to the sealing tape in order to protect it from mechanical influences due to friction during movement.

In another embodiment of the invention, the cut parts are connected by means of ultrasonic welding, whereby the connecting seams are both connected and sealed against water in one operation.

On the back of the hood, the item of clothing according to the invention has, in one embodiment, an elastic band with a stopper in order to adapt the circumference of the hood to the size of the wearer's head. In one embodiment of the item of clothing according to the invention, a drawstring runs in a tunnel around the face cutout of the hood. The drawstring ends below the wearer's chin on either side and has two stoppers. By adjusting the stoppers, the size of the face cutout can be adapted to the needs of the wearer. The hood is individually adapted to the head of the wearer, lies well on the head and does not obstruct the wearer's view. In one embodiment of the invention, the hood has perforations, which are preferably positioned in the area of the ears. The perforations make it possible to perceive ambient noises better, as a result of which the safety of the wearer is increased especially when the item of clothing according to the invention is worn in traffic. In addition, ventilation of the head is guaranteed, which increases wearing comfort.

In a further embodiment, the item of clothing according to the invention has an elastic band with a stopper on the back of the lower part at waist level, by means of which the circumference of the waist can be adapted to the waist circumference of the wearer. In one embodiment of the invention, the elastic band runs only in the back area of the item of clothing. This embodiment is particularly preferred for the cut of the male model. In a further embodiment of the invention, the runs Elastic band on both sides from the back of the lower part to the front of the lower part. This embodiment is particularly preferably used for the cut of the female model, since in this way the item of clothing can be better adapted to the usually narrow female waist.

Furthermore, the item of clothing according to the invention has an integrated pocket that serves both as a normal pocket, e.g. for a handkerchief, and also holds the folded garment when folded out. In addition, the integrated pocket has another small pocket that can hold the rainproof shoe protection.

The integrated pocket has at least one strap.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the integrated pocket has two straps. In this embodiment there is a length-adjustable strap on each side of the integrated pocket. The ends of the length-adjustable belts can be closed by means of a locking device. The straps can be attached to the integrated bag either permanently or detachably. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the straps are detachably attached to the bag by suitable fastening means. Suitable fastening means can be, for example, snap fasteners, buttons, Velcro connections or straps. If the straps are firmly attached to the bag, they are sewn, riveted or welded to the integrated bag.

The length of the belts can easily be adjusted via the belt guide on the locking device; this type of length adjustment of belts is known from the prior art. Suitable locking devices for closing the ends of the belts are known from the prior art and are, for example, a click lock, a belt buckle or other locking buckles. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the locking device for closing the ends of the straps is a click lock.

In a further preferred embodiment of the item of clothing according to the invention, the integrated pocket has a removable strap. The ends of the belt can be closed by the locking devices already described. A length adjustment can also be provided as already described. The straps or just a strap can serve as a carrier for the bag. Thanks to the adjustable strap, the integrated bag together with the item of clothing it contains can also be attached to a means of transport such as a bicycle, and the strap with the closure means is also suitable for carrying the integrated bag with the item of clothing inside as a belt pouch.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the bag has exactly one strap, which is designed as a closed loop with a width adjustment. One end of the strap is attached to one side of the integrated bag. The belt can be detachably or permanently connected to the bag. Suitable fastening means have already been described for the embodiment of the integrated pocket with two straps. Such a loop with a width adjustment is known, for example, from bicycle messenger bags.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the integrated pocket also has an eyelet. With the aid of a suitable connecting means, such as a carabiner, the integrated bag, together with the item of clothing contained therein, can be attached to a suitable object. For example, the bag together with the item of clothing located in it can be attached to a backpack, a bag or a belt with a carabiner.

In one embodiment, the integrated pocket and the further small pocket furthermore have a suitable closure means in order to close the pockets when the item of clothing is located therein. Such a suitable closure means is, for example, a zip fastener, one or more buttons, one or more magnetic buttons, one or more Velcro connections or a lacing. The use of a zip fastener as the closure means is preferred.

In one embodiment, the item of clothing according to the invention has at least one length adjustment device, by means of which the length of the upper part can be adjusted. The at least one length adjustment device is preferably located on the front of the upper part. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has two, four or six length adjustment devices, preferably two or four length adjustment devices, particularly preferably exactly two length adjustment devices. The length adjustment devices are preferably attached in equal numbers on each side of the front side of the upper part of the item of clothing. The two sides of the front of the upper part are created by the separation by the zipper in the front area, that is, on the front of the upper part, there are an equal number of length adjustment devices on each side of the zipper that closes the upper part.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has a length adjustment device to the right of the zipper closure, which closes the upper part, and a length adjustment device to the left of the zipper, which closes the upper part.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a rubber band is used as the length adjustment device. The rubber band runs in a tunnel attached to the upper part, which runs from the shoulder area towards the hips and is fixed on at least one side of the tunnel. The tunnel is preferably made of the same material as the upper part of the item of clothing. The tunnel has an opening at one of its ends through which the elastic band is accessible. At this point the rubber band has a so-called stopper. The opening is preferably located at the lower end of the tunnel, i.e. the end that is closer to the hip. By moving the stopper on the rubber band, the material of the upper part is gathered over a defined length. Since a

Length adjustment device is located on both sides of the upper part, the length of the upper part of the garment can be adjusted variably and the garment can thus be optimally adapted to the body of the wearer. Through the

Length adjustment device, the length of the upper part of the garment is therefore shortened to a maximum of approximately the length of the attached tunnel. Especially for wearers of the item of clothing whose upper body is shorter than the maximum length of the upper part of the item of clothing, this adjustment option ensures a high level of comfort. By shortening the upper part, the fit of the entire item of clothing is improved, because this also increases the hip area of the item of clothing the correct height for the wearer is brought. This prevents the item of clothing from hanging down in a bag-like manner, which hinders walking.

In one embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has an elastic band with a stopper, by means of which the circumference of the waist can be adapted to the waist circumference of the wearer, but no length adjustment device.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has an elastic band with a stopper, by means of which the circumference of the waist can be adapted to the waist circumference of the wearer, and at least one length adjustment device.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing according to the invention also has a rainproof shoe protection for each shoe. The shoe protection has the shape of a shoe and is open towards the sole. It is pulled over the shoe from above over the open side of the sole and releasably fixed to the heel by suitable means. Suitable means for fixing can be, for example, Velcro fasteners, buttons, press studs, two straps or two straps with a stopper. The shoe protection is preferably pulled over the shoe and has half a sole at the front and back. The width adjustment at the level of the upper hem and the heel is carried out by means of elastic cords with stoppers or by stretched elastic cords guided in drawstrings without stoppers.

The shoe protection can be releasably connected to the lower part of the item of clothing or not connected. In one embodiment of the invention, the shoe protection is not connected to the lower part of the item of clothing.

In one embodiment, the shoe protection is detachably connected to the item of clothing at at least one point. The shoe protection is preferably connected on the inside of the respective trouser leg to part of the hem of the respective trouser leg. Detachable connections can be, for example, laces, Velcro connections, buttons or snaps.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the shoe protection is not connected to the item of clothing. In a preferred variant, the shoe protection is transported in the integrated pocket, which also holds the item of clothing. For this purpose, a smaller pocket is placed on the front of the integrated pocket, which holds both shoe protection parts.

The sole of the shoe protection is particularly preferably reinforced, thus preventing the shoe protection from slipping off the pedals, for example, in the rain. This increases the safety of the user, especially when cycling.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the shoe protection has reflective elements, in particular reflector strips. These are preferably positioned in the heel area and / or above the heel area. This increases the visibility and thus also the safety of the wearer, especially in road traffic. As a result of the pedaling movement, the reflective strips on the shoe protection also move advantageously, which increases the signaling effect on other road users, in particular motorists.

The lower part of the item of clothing has closure means which are attached in such a way that the lower part can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a jacket.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the lower part can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a coat, whereby the item of clothing can be worn as a rain jacket, raincoat or overall.

In one embodiment of the invention, the lower part and the upper part are releasably connected to one another. If the upper part and the lower part are connected to one another in this embodiment, the lower part can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a coat, so that the item of clothing can be worn as a rain jacket, raincoat or overall.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lower part and the upper part are firmly connected to one another and the lower part can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a coat, so that the item of clothing can be worn as a rain jacket, raincoat or overall. The item of clothing according to the invention can therefore be worn in several embodiments both as an overall, as a rain jacket and as a raincoat. For this purpose, the lower part of the item of clothing has closure means which are attached in such a way that the lower part can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a jacket. Because the lower part can be closed in the form of two trouser legs or in the form of a coat, the item of clothing can be worn as a rain jacket, raincoat or overall. Suitable closure means are, in particular, water-repellent or water-tight zippers. All zippers can be opened and closed in two directions. In one embodiment, the zip fastener is additionally protected from rain by a flap in the closed state. The cut shape of the item of clothing provides a wedge-like shape customary for trouser cuts in the crotch area of the item of clothing. This cut enables two trouser legs to be created when the closure means of the lower part are closed enclosing the respective legs. If the lower part is worn in the form of a jacket, the wedge-like projection that has arisen is pressed inwards and thus covered.

Subsequently to the upper end of the closure means of the lower part vome a closure means, in particular a water-repellent or water-tight zipper, is attached, which runs along the front edges of the upper part from the waist line to the neck level and closes the upper part. In one embodiment, the zip fastener is additionally protected from splash water by a flap in the closed state.

The item of clothing according to the invention has several closure means on the inside at waist height. Counterparts to these closure means are located on the inside of the lower end of the lower part. If the lower part is now closed in the middle at the rear to form a coat, the lower end of the lower part can be folded up inwards towards the waist and is fastened there with the closure means. In this form, the item of clothing according to the invention can be worn as a rain jacket.

Suitable fastening means include buttons, press studs, Velcro connections or magnetic buttons. The use of snap fasteners is particularly preferred. In one embodiment of the invention, as already described, the lower part is closed at the rear in the middle to form a jacket. The garment thus forms a raincoat. Since all zippers can be opened in two directions, it is possible to close the lower zipper and leave a slit open to allow walking.

In one embodiment of the invention, the underlap of the zipper of the upper part is shaped in such a way that the zipper of the upper part can be separated from the lower part, especially at the point where the zippers of the pant legs and the upper part or at the point where the zippers of the upper part are located and the zips of the trouser legs meet, creating additional protection against the ingress of rainwater through the underlay.

In one embodiment, the item of clothing according to the invention has devices for width adjustment on the sleeves and trouser legs. Suitable devices can be buttons, snap fasteners, Velcro connections, elastic bands or magnetic buttons. In one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the trouser legs is adjusted via two push button positions.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides an item of clothing, in particular rain protection clothing, with a hood (10), an upper part (20) for the upper body and the arms and a lower part (30) for the lower body,

an integrated pocket (31) which has at least one strap and which covers the entire

Can accommodate garment when folded;

a length adjustment device (21), by means of which the length of the upper part (20) can be adjusted; and

a rainproof shoe protector (50);

the item of clothing being wearable as a rain jacket, raincoat or overall; to disposal.

The material from which the item of clothing according to the invention is made has a 2.5-layer laminate, 3-layer laminate, polyurethane (PU) -coated polyester, soft shell 3-layer material made of nylon, beeswax-coated cotton, polyurethane (PU ) coated polyamide (PA), TPU, recycled polyethersulfone (PES), proportionally ALU, elastane, polyurethane (PU) coated nylon or 2-layer laminate with inner lining in different grammages.

The material of which the item of clothing is made has a grammage of 50 to 200 g / m ² , preferably 50 to 100 g / m ² , particularly preferably 75 g / m ² .

Also preferred is the material from which the item of clothing is made, water-repellent up to 20,000 mm water column (measured according to ISO 811).

The material preferably has a breathability of 25,000 g / m ² per 24 hours.

2-layer laminates are waterproof, windproof and breathable functional fabrics that are mainly used for rainwear. The fabric consists of a membrane and an outer fabric that are laminated together. In order to protect the membrane against abrasion and damage, 2-layer laminates are generally provided with an inner lining.

2.5-layer laminates are well-known laminates in the field of ultra-light rainwear, which can be packed up minimally and are reliably rainproof. In addition to an outer fabric and a membrane, the 2.5-layer laminate has a thin protective layer printed on the inside. This protective layer protects the membrane from abrasion and wear. Suitable 2.5-layer laminates are known to the person skilled in the art.

3-layer laminates are also known in the field of rainwear, e.g. under the term "hard shell". The laminate consists of three layers of outer fabric, membrane and lining, which are laminated to form a thin fabric. 3-layer laminates are very stable due to their structure and at the same time small in pack size. Due to their high stability, they also offer greater protection against abrasion than 2.5-layer laminates and are used, for example, for backpacks.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the material from which the item of clothing is made has an extremely light 3-layer laminate with high abrasion values, good breathing properties and environmentally friendly production. In one embodiment of the invention, the material of which the item of clothing is made additionally has fibers made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE fibers). The use of the fibers increases the robustness of the garment and leads to greater safety for the wearer. In the event of a fall on asphalt, for example, the wearer's skin is protected from abrasions by the item of clothing.

The material of the garment is particularly preferably certified according to Standard 100 according to Oeko-Tex.

In a preferred embodiment of the item of clothing according to the invention, the upper part and the lower part of the item of clothing are made of the same material.

In a further embodiment of the item of clothing, the upper part consists of a different material than the lower part. In one embodiment, the upper part of the item of clothing consists of a stronger material than the lower part, for example the upper part consists of a 2.5-ply laminate and the lower part consists of a 3-ply laminate. Further material combinations are possible.

If the lower part is made of a thinner material than the upper part, wearing the item of clothing according to the invention as a rain jacket becomes more comfortable because a comparatively thin layer of fabric is folded upwards and surrounds the legs in a jacket-like manner. At the same time, the stronger material of the upper part can offer increased protection in the event of a fall.

In one embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has active lighting. The lighting can be attached to the rear part of the hood and / or to the front part of the hood and / or to the sleeves and / or to the legs and / or to the part of the upper part which covers the upper body. Active lighting is preferably attached to the upper body in the chest and / or back area and / or shoulder area.

In one embodiment of the invention, the lighting is attached in the form of lighting elements at various points on the item of clothing. For example, one lighting element each on the sleeves of the item of clothing and / or on the trouser legs of the item of clothing. The lighting elements can all switched on and off together or switched on and off independently of each other.

Visibility is often severely restricted, especially in rainy weather. Active lighting in the item of clothing according to the invention increases the visibility of the wearer for other road users and thus greatly reduces the risk of accidents. The lighting is therefore primarily attached in areas of the item of clothing that can be easily seen by other road users. Corresponding lighting can be, for example, optical fibers, embroidered LEDs or flexible substrates with integrated LEDs or controllers that are operated via a central removable battery. The battery is housed in a convenient place, for example in a pocket provided for this purpose, and is therefore easily accessible so that it can be charged if necessary. It is also possible to feed the electronics using a mobile phone that is carried along. Such lighting has the advantage that it actively emits a light signal and not, as for example reflectors rely on, to be illuminated by an external light source. This increases the visibility of a wearer enormously, as he can already be recognized by the lighting if he is not yet, e.g. B. is captured by the light cone of a car.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the safety for a user is additionally increased in that the item of clothing according to the invention has at least one signal transmitter. A signal transmitter can be understood to mean anything that can be integrated into the item of clothing and emits an acoustic or optical signal. If necessary, the signal transmitter can be operated using a replaceable battery.

If the signal transmitter emits an optical signal, it is preferably attached to a point on the item of clothing that can be easily seen by a third party, e.g. another road user. For example, the sleeves, the legs or the hood of the item of clothing are suitable.

According to the invention, the item of clothing can also have a signal transmitter that emits an acoustic signal, e.g. B. in the form of a horn. Operation can then take place, for example, via a button on the sleeve of the item of clothing. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the signal transmitter is a blinker or a rear light. The signal transmitter can then be operated, for example, via a button on the sleeve of the item of clothing.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has two signal transmitters, namely a blinker on one sleeve and a blinker on the other sleeve.

In one embodiment, the item of clothing has at least one active lighting and / or at least one signal transmitter, which is located in the lower part of the item of clothing, while the battery for feeding these devices is located in the upper part. In this case, the electronic connection between the active lighting and / or signal transmitter and the battery can preferably be separated in the area in which the upper part and lower part of the item of clothing abut one another. This can be implemented, for example, via a plug connection. This embodiment has the advantage that active lighting elements and / or signal transmitters can be integrated into the lower part of the item of clothing, even if the lower part is detachably connected to the upper part of the item of clothing.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing according to the invention has reflectors. For example, reflectors can be sewn onto the item of clothing as strips, attached flat or as reflective piping in seams. According to the invention, the reflectors can be located at any conceivable point on the item of clothing. The reflectors increase the visibility of the wearer, especially when they are illuminated by a light source, such as the headlights of a car or the lamp of a cyclist, by reflecting the light. Textile reflectors or foil reflectors are preferably used.

In addition to increased safety for the user, the item of clothing according to the invention also contributes to increased comfort.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has at least one heating pad in the back area and / or in the shoulder area and / or on the upper arms. A suitable heating pad is made of textile and is sewn into the item of clothing. Operated the at least one heating pad has a removable battery. Suitable heating pads such as woven, knitted, knitted, specially coated or embroidered heating surfaces which generate resistance heat by introducing current into electrically conductive strands or game are known from the prior art. In one embodiment of the item of clothing according to the invention, the item of clothing has exactly one heating pad which is designed in the form of a vest and thus simultaneously warms the back area and the upper body.

Rainfall is often accompanied by a drop in air temperature, and the combination of precipitation and falling temperature is perceived by many as unpleasant. Here, the embodiment of the invention with a heating pad increases the wearing comfort for a user enormously. The body is not only protected from moisture caused by precipitation, but also kept from cooling down.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has a reinforced visor in the hood. Thanks to the reinforced visor, the item of clothing offers additional protection from wind and precipitation in the face area and thus increases wearing comfort. At the same time, the reinforced visor also contributes to better vision, since rain is kept away from the wearer's eyes or possibly glasses. This in turn leads to greater safety for the wearer in road traffic.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has at least one ventilation slot on a sleeve and / or a leg and / or in the back part of the upper part. This leads to good ventilation of the item of clothing and thus reduces the sweating of the wearer in the item of clothing at warmer temperatures and when moving heavily. The at least one ventilation slot can be opened or closed as required. For opening or closing, the ventilation slot has a suitable device, such as a waterproof zipper, buttons, press studs, Velcro connections or magnetic buttons. In one embodiment, the at least one ventilation slot is additionally protected from rain by a flap in the closed state.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing according to the invention has at least 2 ventilation slots, one in each case in the armpit area Top. Attaching the ventilation slots in the armpit area has the advantage that these areas are protected from rain and moisture cannot directly penetrate the clothing when the ventilation slots are open.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing has a ventilation slot on the back part of the upper part. This ventilation slot can be the only one on the item of clothing or in addition to a ventilation slot in the armpit area of the upper part. The ventilation slot in the back part of the upper part is preferably formed by folding the material, which ensures protection against penetrating moisture through a material overlap and at the same time enables ventilation.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the inventive

Garment has an inside pocket in the top that can be closed with a zipper. The inside pocket is easily accessible when the top zipper is open and can hold valuables such as a cell phone or a wallet, for example.

In one embodiment of the invention, the sleeve ends of the item of clothing have a width-adjustable end. The width-adjustable end can be a rubber cuff, a press stud or a Velcro fastener.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the inventive

Garment wrist cuffs with thumb hole on. These cuffs are preferably made of jersey material and attached to the inside of the sleeve. The cuffs are covered by the sleeves of the garment and at the same time protected from moisture. This embodiment has the advantage that the sleeves of the item of clothing are prevented from sliding up on the arms, for example by stretching the arms out towards a handlebar. As a result, the item of clothing according to the invention also offers reliable protection from rain for the arms through to the wrists.

In one embodiment of the invention, control devices for signal transmitters or lighting devices for the item of clothing can be attached to the cuffs. The garment according to the invention is suitable for many uses due to its design. The item of clothing according to the invention offers a particularly great benefit for drivers of bicycles, e-bikes, e-scooters or even Segways. Because these are exposed to the weather particularly unprotected. The safety equipment of the item of clothing according to the invention is particularly advantageous because of the high speeds that can be achieved by bicycles, e-bikes or Segways. As already described, both the visibility, through lighting and / or signal transmitters, as well as the protection in the event of falls are increased due to the material that is used for the item of clothing.

The user of an e-scooter particularly benefits from the increased visibility due to lighting elements or signal transmitters such as indicators. Due to its structure, such a scooter has hardly any surfaces on which lighting or other signal transmitters can be attached. The item of clothing according to the invention therefore offers a very advantageous possibility of increasing visibility in traffic.

Because of its optimal fit and high resistance to rain, the item of clothing according to the invention is also suitable for outdoor sports such as hiking. Furthermore, the item of clothing is also suitable for gardening or as work clothing.

Figure 1 (A) to (D) shows an embodiment of the item of clothing according to the invention. The front view of the item of clothing shows the hood 10 with a reinforced visor 11. The size of the opening for the face can be varied by means of the drawstrings 12. The upper part 20 of the item of clothing is closed by a zipper 24 and has two catch adjustment devices 21. By pulling on the straps 22, the catches of the upper part 20 can be adjusted. Both sleeves have snap fasteners 23 in order to adapt the width of the sleeves to the arm of the wearer. The upper part 20 is connected to the lower part 30 by a seam 25. In the figure 1 (A) the zippers 32, 33 are closed so that the lower part 30 has the shape of pants. The lower part 30 also has an integrated pocket 31 which can be closed with a zipper. The inner part of the integrated pocket 31 can accommodate the entire item of clothing in the folded state. The lower part 30 also has press studs 34 on the legs, with which the width of the legs can be adapted to the wearer of the item of clothing.

Figure 1 (B) shows an embodiment of the item of clothing according to the invention in the rear view. The hood 10 has an additional option for regulating the circumference of the hood. With the aid of an elastic band with a stopper 13, the circumference of the hood 10 can be adapted to the head of the wearer. A further adaptation to the physique of the wearer is provided by an elastic band with a stopper 35 which is attached in the upper part of the lower part 30 near the seam 25. By means of this elastic band with stopper 35, the item of clothing can be adapted to the wearer's waist, thereby achieving a visually appealing and comfortable fit.

In the figure 1 (C) the item of clothing is shown with the zippers open. The legs of the lower part 30 are folded up so that the foot ends lie on the seam 25. At the foot ends there are closure means in the form of press studs 34, the counterparts of which are located at the waist seam 25. The folded up foot ends can be fixed to the waist seam 25 with the aid of the press studs 34. If the lower part is closed by the zippers 32, 33 in the form of a jacket, a rain jacket is created. The item of clothing according to the invention also has an inner pocket 26.

In the figure 1 (D) the item of clothing according to the invention is shown with a folded up leg and an outstretched leg.

FIG. 2 shows a detail of the upper part 20 and the lower part 30. On the upper part 20 there are two length adjustment devices, each of which has a tunnel 21a, 21b and a rubber band 22a, 22b with a stopper. The length adjustment devices are located symmetrically on both sides of the zipper 24. By pulling the elastic band 22a, the length of the upper part 20 is shortened, which can be seen in the drawing that the waist seam 25a is shifted upwards in relation to the waist seam 25b. Similarly, the length of the upper part 20 can also be adjusted on the other side of the zipper with the aid of the elastic band 22b. Figure 3 shows the item of clothing according to the invention in the form of a rain jacket. The lower part was closed in the middle at the back by means of the zip fasteners 33, 32 to form a coat and the lower end of the lower part was folded up inwards to the waist seam 25. The fabric is attached to the seam with the aid of snap fasteners 34. The item of clothing according to the invention also has inner cuffs 29 and ventilation slots 28 in the armpit areas of the upper part.

The item of clothing also has an integrated pocket 31 with two straps 41, 42 adjustable in length, as shown in FIG. The straps 41, 42 can be closed via a click lock 43. The integrated pocket 31 is firmly connected to the item of clothing and can accommodate the entire item of clothing in a folded state (FIG. 4). The integrated pocket also has a closure means 44 with which the pocket can be closed.

FIG. 5 shows again the integrated pocket 31, which is connected to the item of clothing and can also serve as a normal insert pocket. In the embodiment shown, the integrated pocket 31 has two detachable straps 41, 42 which can be attached to the integrated pocket 31 by means of the snap fasteners 48. The integrated pocket 31 also has an eyelet 47 by means of which the integrated pocket 31 together with the item of clothing according to the invention located therein can be attached to a backpack or the like, for example with the aid of a carabiner. The rainproof shoe protection of the item of clothing according to the invention can be stowed in the small pocket 46 which is located on the integrated pocket 31. The integrated pocket 31 is closed with the aid of the zip 44 and the small pocket 46 with the aid of the zip 45.

FIG. 6 (A) shows the rainproof shoe protection 50. The shoe protection 50 has the shape of a shoe, is open towards the sole and has half a sole at the front 53 and at the rear 54. It is pulled over the shoe from above over the open side of the sole and releasably fixed to the heel by suitable means. The width adjustment at the level of the upper hem and the heel is carried out by means of the elastic cords with stoppers 51, 52. FIG. 6 (B) also shows a rainproof shoe protection 50. This also has a reflective strip 90. In one embodiment of the invention, the item of clothing according to the invention has at least one active lighting. FIG. 7 (A) shows the item of clothing in a front view with lighting elements at various points. An active lighting 60 is attached to the front part of the hood 10. Furthermore, the sleeves of the upper part 20 have active lighting elements 61a, 61b, 62a, 62b and the pant legs of the lower part 30 have active lighting elements 63a, 63b. According to the invention, only one active lighting element can be attached to the item of clothing, but several active lighting elements can also be combined with one another.

FIG. 7 (B) shows the item of clothing according to the invention in a rear view. An active lighting element 67 can be attached to the rear of the hood 10, for example. Furthermore, the sleeves of the upper part 20 have active lighting elements 64a, 64b, 65a, 65b, which other road users can clearly see from behind. There are also active lighting elements 66a, 66b on the trouser legs, which improve the visibility of a wearer of the item of clothing in poor visibility or in the dark and thus increase their safety. Instead of the active lighting elements, in one embodiment of the invention, reflectors can also be attached to the marked locations of the item of clothing, or both reflectors and active lighting elements can be attached. A ventilation slot 27 is integrated in the back part of the upper part.

FIG. 8 (A) shows the item of clothing according to the invention in a front view with a blinker 70b on the sleeve. The blinker 70b is attached in such a way that it is clearly visible to other road users. There is also a blinker 70a on the other sleeve, which can be clearly seen from the front. This can be seen in FIG. 8 (B), which shows a rear view of the item of clothing. In one embodiment, corresponding indicators 80a and 80b are also located on the sleeves at the rear part of the sleeves. By holding out the respective hand when turning, the indicators on the sleeves are easy to see and their signaling effect greatly increases the visibility of the wearer. The flashing function also makes it easy for other road users to see in which direction the wearer of the item of clothing will move.

FIG. 9 shows an embodiment of the hood 10 of the item of clothing. The hood 10 has perforations 100 in the area of the ears. Thus, ambient noise from a wearer of the item of clothing are better perceived, which increases its safety, especially in traffic. In addition, good ventilation of the head is guaranteed. FIG. 10 shows the upper part 20 of the item of clothing with wrist cuffs 29. The wrist cuffs 20 have a thumb hole 110 through which the entire sleeve of the item of clothing is fixed on the hand of a wearer. This has the advantage that the sleeve does not slide up on the arms when cycling, for example, and the wearer's arms are thus reliably protected from water and cold.

FIG. 11 shows the pant legs of the lower part 30 of the garment with a device for adjusting the width. According to the invention, the push button 34a can be fastened in one embodiment to two counterparts 34b which, due to their different positions on the trouser leg, regulate the width of the trouser leg.
