AI Technical Summary
Existing tournament shirts lack sufficient breathability and heat dissipation, leading to heatstroke and impaired concentration during matches under scorching conditions, particularly exacerbated by the use of hoods and life jackets.
The shirt features a mesh structure for the top and side portions, ensuring high breathability and ventilation, with a larger hood and asymmetrical mesh areas to accommodate a fishing rod and life jacket, respectively.
The mesh structure prevents heatstroke by maintaining head and body ventilation, blocking sunlight, and dissipating heat effectively, even under extreme conditions.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a heatstroke prevention shirt using mesh fabric for the head and both sides.
Background Art
[0002] So far, tournament shirts worn by players in fishing tournaments have not been excellent in breathability and heat dissipation. In matches held under the scorching sun, there have been players who suffered from heatstroke or could not concentrate on the match due to the heat.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] The shirt described in Patent Document 1 uses a mesh material partially, but since it is a windbreaker, it is not suitable as a shirt for use under the scorching sun because of insufficient breathability and heat dissipation. Therefore, it is an object to provide a shirt with good breathability and heat dissipation that can be used even under the scorching sun. Players participating in fishing tournaments often play matches under the scorching sun. However, in recent years with increasing high temperature and humidity and sweltering heat, they may suffer from heatstroke or poor physical condition during the match. When wearing a hood to block direct sunlight under the scorching sun, heat accumulates inside the hood and it gets hot. But when removing the hood to escape the accumulated heat, direct sunlight shines and it gets hot again, falling into a vicious cycle where the head becomes high temperature. Also, players are obliged to wear a life jacket when participating in a fishing tournament. However, wearing a belt-type life jacket around the waist constricts the hem of the shirt, impairing breathability and raising the body temperature, resulting in a high temperature in the body part. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The heatstroke prevention shirt according to this invention is characterized by comprising a top portion 1 of the shirt made of a material having a mesh structure and a side portion 2 of the shirt made of a material having a mesh structure. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] According to this invention, the mesh structure provides high breathability, which helps prevent heatstroke and maintain concentration even in extremely hot conditions such as various tournaments held under the blazing sun. When the user wears the hood, it blocks direct sunlight while ensuring ventilation, suppressing the overheating of the head. Furthermore, even when wearing a life jacket, it ensures ventilation around the torso, allowing heat to dissipate and suppressing the rise in body temperature, thus preventing heatstroke and other health problems. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0007] [Figure 1] Front view of a tournament shirt according to the present invention [Figure 2] Rear view of the tournament shirt according to the present invention [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] The shirt relating to this invention will be described in detail with reference to Figure 1, a front view of the tournament shirt relating to this invention, and Figure 2, a back view of the tournament shirt relating to this invention. The head portion 1 of the shirt is made of a highly breathable mesh material, and is structured to avoid direct sunlight and allow sufficient ventilation even when used in various tournaments. The side portions 2 of the shirt are made of the same highly breathable mesh material as the head portion 1 of the shirt, and are structured to ensure sufficient ventilation even when wearing a life jacket in various tournaments. The hood of the head portion 1 is made slightly larger so that it can be used even when wearing a hat, and there is even more room at the back of the head to ensure that there is always space between the head and the hood, thereby improving ventilation. The mesh fabric of the side portions 2 is approximately 11 cm wide and approximately 44 cm long, providing an area that ensures sufficient ventilation when wearing a life jacket. However, when fishing, the fishing rod is held in front of the body with both arms, so the area of the mesh fabric is not made equal in the front and back, but the area of the back is made larger than the front so that the arms do not block the mesh fabric even when fishing, and the structure does not hinder ventilation and heat dissipation. By using a highly breathable mesh material for the head portion of the shirt, it blocks direct sunlight while ensuring breathability, suppressing overheating of the head and preventing a decrease in concentration. Furthermore, by using a highly breathable mesh material for the underarm portion of the shirt, it ensures breathability and heat dissipation even when wearing a life jacket, suppressing a rise in body temperature and preventing illness.
