Benefits of technology

[0012]The objects mentioned above, as well as other objects, are solved by the present invention, which overcomes disadvantages of using a garment or material to dry the body while using a separate material to dry the hair, while providing new advantages not previously obtainable with such drying devices.
[0014]In a preferred embodiment, a further feature of the garment is that the elongated hood may be detachable from the collar by using a zipper, releasably attachable means such as VELCRO®, or some other suitable mechanism. The elongated hood may be removed after the hair has dried or the wearer is warm. The attachable / detachable mechanism for the hood may be hidden in the collar, rendering the garment more comfortable for the wearer after removing the elongated hood. Such features permit the drying garment to be used for lounging or sleeping thereafter.

Wearing this, the bathers can brush their teeth or apply makeup while simultaneously drying the body and hair without wet hair dripping on the face or body. However, often-times the towel wrapped atop the head will fall while the bather is attempting these other activities.[0003]It would be advantageous to dev...
