Benefits of technology

[0025]In particular, the assembly of the interior and exterior layers at the level of the valve or valves of the jacket provides adequate retention of the jacket on the body of the user. This assembly of the interior and exterior layers may if necessary be selectively re

Problems solved by technology

These watertight zip fasteners, apart from being very costly, render the suit very uncomfortable because of their stiffness.
These fasteners are also difficult for the user to open and to close and the user must seek help to put on or take off these suits.
Moreover, in the event of rupture while diving, these zip fasteners are

Embodiment Construction

[0035]Referring to the figures, the watertight diving dry suit comprises two parts 2, 3. A first part 2 includes, in one watertight piece from top to bottom: a chest portion 12, trousers 22 and socks 32. The chest portion 12 preferably has no sleeves, i.e. forms a “tank top”.

[0036]This first part 2 is put on and taken off via the upper end. The chest portion 12 preferably comprises at least one area 42 of adjustable length at the level of the shoulders. For example, the dorsal and ventral parts of the chest portion 12 include at the level of each shoulder a repositionable system of hooks and loops (for example of the “Velcro”® type). This enables adjustment of the first part 2 to the size of the user and also if necessary enlargement of the opening for putting on / taking off the first part 2 of the suit.

[0037]This first part 2 is for example composed of cellular neoprene with a thickness of 2 to 7 mm, for example as a function of the required thermal insulation, faced with jersey on ...

Abstract

Diving dry suit including a watertight first part forming, in one piece from top to bottom, a chest portion, trousers, and socks, and a separate second part forming a watertight jacket comprising an interior layer being in watertight material and comprising a chest portion and long sleeves, the interior layer being also provided with cuffs at the neck and at the end of the sleeves, an exterior layer of the jacket also comprising a chest portion and long sleeves, the interior layer and the exterior layer being separate entities separably fastened together at the level of at least one valve, the suit being free of any zip opening/closing system, and in that the central portion of the first part and the lower portion of the interior layer of the jacket each comprise an elastic material skirt to produce a watertight connection between the jacket and the first part.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns a diving dry suit.BACKGROUND[0002]The invention more particularly concerns a diving dry suit including a watertight first part forming, in one watertight piece from top to bottom, a chest portion, trousers and socks, and a separate second part forming a watertight jacket.[0003]A diving dry suit is a watertight suit that insulates the parts of the body of the user covered by the suit from the water. A dry suit is thus a watertight suit as opposed to non-watertight and non-dry diving suits and outfits that wet the skin of the wearer.[0004]Diving dry suits generally comprise at least one valve allowing exchange of gas between the exterior of the suit and the area situated between the body of the user and the watertight part of the suit.[0005]To guarantee watertightness, dry suits must be tightly fitted to the body of the user at the wrists and the neck. Because of their configuration, known dry suits generally include watertigh...
