Pockets designed to reduce skin damage to the chest while surfing.

Abstract

It provides pockets to reduce damage to the chest skin while surfing. [Solution] Create a horizontal pocket in the chest area of ​​rash guards and T-shirts (including long-sleeved ones) to hold padding. The padding in the rash guard pocket reduces friction between the surfboard and the chest, preventing abrasions and allowing surfers to surf in just a rash guard during the hot summer months.

Description

Detailed explanation of the invention: When surfing, the skin on the chest is not damaged when wearing a wetsuit, but when wearing a rash guard or T-shirt, the skin on the chest comes into contact with the board, causing chafing and abrasions. This invention is designed to prevent that. Problems the invention aims to solve: When surfing, the view is obstructed by waves and wind, so this invention aims to ensure visibility. TIFF0003255690000004.tif14151 Traditionally, even in hot summers, skin damage was a concern, so people had to wear wetsuits, body wraps, vests, etc. This design allows surfers to wear light clothing such as rash guards and T-shirts, preventing skin chafing and abrasions. [Brief explanation of the drawing] [Figure 1] Create a horizontal pocket below the chest of your rash guard or T-shirt (including long-sleeved ones). This can be on the outside or inside. Make it large enough to fit a thin padding inside. When surfing, the board only touches the lower part of your chest below the ribs, so it doesn't need to be too big. This minimizes the impact of waves and water on the pocket. [Figure 2] The pocket for inserting padding should be secured with Velcro or similar fasteners so that it can be easily accessed from the side.

Claims

[Claim 1] Create a horizontal pocket below the chest of the clothing (rash guard and T-shirt). This can be on the front or back (Figure 1). The pocket should be sized to accommodate a small cushioning material (such as foam) and allow for easy access from the side (Figure 2).
