Benefits of technology

The invention is a training tunic that has a tapered front panel and a tapered back panel attached to the front at shoulder seams to form a neck opening. The back panel has attached side straps at the end of each of which is a matable strap portion that is aligned with and mates with a matable front panel. Each strap end is folded to form a pocket compartment opening upward. The training tunic is open on the sides above and below the side straps, and a sleeveless arm area is formed on each side of the garment between the shoulder seams and the side straps. The technical effects of this invention are improved training and conditioning for sports equipment, while also providing comfortable and adjustable arm coverage for the wearer.

Problems solved by technology

Neither of these prior inventions allow a full range of motion for the athlete.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The present invention is a training tunic that is a full contact sport garment capable of withstanding rigorous activity, and can serve as a towel and bathrobe, as a martial arts uniform, and as a core body temperature regulator.

[0017]The training tunic's warming quality is produced by the nature of the materials used, which helps to elevate the core body temperature with ease, while absorbing the perspiration that is physiologically targeted at reducing temperature. The invention also slows down the cooling of the body once the activity has ceased, which is important because research and experimentation shows that the rapid cooling of the body after vigorous activity is not beneficial for the longevity of the athletes body.

[0018]The training tunic of the invention can be worn over a person's regular workout attire until optimal active body temperature is achieved, at which point, it can be easily removed even while wearing boxing or fighting gloves until the physical movement...

Abstract

A training tunic is provided with tapered front and back panels. The back panel has attached side straps that mate with matable front portions on the front panel. The end of each side strap is folded to form a pocket compartment opening upward. Where each side strap is attached to the back panel, an outer side pocket is formed along the back panel that is sized and positioned so that the side strap may be inserted into the outer side pocket. When the training tunic is worn, it is open on the sides above and below the side straps, and a sleeveless arm area is formed on each side of the garment between the shoulder seams and the side straps. Preferably the training tunic has a hood or may have a collar.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]This invention relates to garments worn for athletic training.Description of the Related Art[0002]Both U.S. Pat. No. 5,855,021 issued to Somerville and U.S. Pat. No. 2006 / 0010555 A1 issued to Hayes are based on wearable towels that aid in removing perspiration from the body. Somerville's version is not used in training, but as a playing break garment. Hayes' version is used in training, but aims specifically for use under a sweat or warm-up suit or as a loosely fitted garment. The present invention is used over a person's workout attire or as a single uniform during combat / martial arts training. As shown in illustrations of these two patents, the overall loose rectangular shape and lack of form fitting attributes does not allow their garments to be used in rigorous full contact, body to body training, as the present invention does. Further, Hayes' garment fasteners are located along the edges of his loose fitting garment. The pr...
