Embodiment Construction

[0019] Throughout the following description, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding to those skilled in the art. However, well known elements have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present disclosure. Accordingly, the description and drawings are to be viewed in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

[0020] The present invention discloses a new design of a double-layer drysuit that closely fits the wearer's body and increases mobility and comfort. This is a major advantage, as the reduction of the large area in the drysuit, when in use, translates directly to the safety of the wearer. Compared to conventional bag-type drysuits, the outer surface of the drysuit according to the present invention is smooth and streamlined in construction. This minimizes resistance to movement in the water. Swimming is easier and less strenuous. Drysuits according to the invention are typically used by d...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new drysuit having a smooth elastomeric outer shell surrounding a separate composition impermeable inner shell. The drysuit has a smooth overall appearance, allowing easy movement and comfortable use for the wearer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a new design of a double layer (separated skin) drysuit for underwater diving or surface activities. Background technique [0002] For decades, fabric-based drysuits for underwater diving or surface activities have been manufactured by the basic method of heat bonding and sewing. In order to provide the user with ease of movement under demanding conditions and the ability to apply and remove, drysuits have traditionally been made from large fabrics with an area well in excess of that required to cover the user's body. All seams of the drysuit are sealed. As excess fabric is used, the excess fabric tends to collect and gather at the flex points of the drysuit such as the shoulder, armpit, neck, waist, knee and crotch areas. This causes discomfort to the wearer of the drysuit, especially at greater water depths, where hydrostatic water pressure forces the creases and folds against the wearer's body at the respective ben...
