Benefits of technology

This patent describes a high-performance garment with sleeves that can remove perspiration from the body. The sleeves have an arm portion and a wipe portion made of a fabric that can absorb moisture. The garment is made by constructing an inverted portion or panel of the same fabric, which includes absorbent material that moves moisture from one surface to the other. This design helps to keep the garment dry and comfortable.

Problems solved by technology

Though these garments provide comfortable wear and technical features that are beneficial during exertion, such as sports activities, the garments are not necessarily cut to fit a particular type of athlete and therefore do not always fit every athlete optimally.
Accordingly, material is not used optimally.
In either type of garment, the costs of manufacturing are inflated because of wasted material and time.

Abstract

A high-performance garment may include a body portion and a sleeve portion, wherein the sleeve portion includes an arm portion and a wipe portion. In addition, the wipe portion, arm portion, and body portion of the high-performance garment may be constructed from a single layer of the same type of fabric. Further, the high-performance garment may be configured to provide an appropriate fit specifically for pre-adolescent and / or adolescent females, who have a body shape differing from pre-adolescent, adolescent and adult males, and adult females.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to high performance garments.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Garments configured with technical features, such as wicking fabric, have been worn by athletes. Though these garments provide comfortable wear and technical features that are beneficial during exertion, such as sports activities, the garments are not necessarily cut to fit a particular type of athlete and therefore do not always fit every athlete optimally.[0003]Moreover, some of the technical features are used throughout the garment though the technical feature is only needed in certain areas of the garment. Accordingly, material is not used optimally. Other manufacturers attempt to strategically use certain fabrics in certain areas of the garment where the technical features purportedly would provide the most benefit. However, this requires obtaining one or more panels of a different fabric that is then fabricated...
