Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In order to suppress the sliding of the contact object on the outer surface of the sportswear, for example, it is assumed that a larger anti-slip member is used. However, in this case, problems such as deterioration of breathability and increase in weight occur.

[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide sportswear capable of obtaining a sufficient anti-slip effect while suppressing deterioration of breathability and increase in weight.

[Effects of the Invention]

[Figure 15] This is a front view showing a sportswear according to a modified example of the second embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The specific numerical values ​​and other details shown in these embodiments are merely examples to facilitate understanding of the invention and do not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified. In this specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same function and configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals to avoid redundant explanations, and elements not directly related to the present invention are omitted from the illustrations.

[0011] In the embodiments, terms indicating directions may include the front-back direction, the width direction or the left-right direction, and the up-down direction. Each direction refers to the direction with respect to the body of the wearer when the wearer is standing while wearing the clothing. That is, the front direction indicates the direction the wearer is facing, and the back direction indicates the direction the wearer's back is facing. The width direction or the left-right direction indicates the width direction of the wearer's body. The up-down direction indicates the direction orthogonal to the front-back direction and the width direction (left-right direction). The left-right direction is the left direction or the right direction from the perspective of the wearer.

[0012] First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating the sports clothing 1 of the first embodiment. The sports clothing 1 in FIG. 1 is an upper garment that covers the upper body of the wearer. In the example of FIG. 1, the sports clothing 1 of the first embodiment is composed of short sleeves. The sports clothing 1 is preferably sports clothing for ball games such as rugby and soccer. The first embodiment will be described by taking the sports clothing 1 for rugby as an example. A rugby ball (hereinafter referred to as a ball) is an example of a contact object. It is desirable that the contact object has fine convex portions with a protrusion height of about 10 to 100 μm on its surface and is made of a soft material with an elastic modulus of 100 MPa or less.

[0013] The sports clothing 1 includes a clothing part 10 worn by the wearer, a first anti-slip member 100A, and a second anti-slip member 100B. The clothing part 10 is composed of various materials and knitting methods commonly used for sports clothing 1. Hereinafter, the first anti-slip member 100A and the second anti-slip member 100B may be collectively referred to as the anti-slip member 100.

[0014] FIG. 2 is a front view for explaining each region of the sports clothing 1 of the first embodiment. The clothing part 10 includes a contact assumed region 20 where contact with the ball is assumed on its outer surface. The contact assumed region 20 is a region where the frequency of contact with the contact object is assumed to be higher than other regions. The contact assumed region 20 is set, for example, excluding regions where decorative objects such as logos are provided.

[0015] The assumed contact area 20 includes a high-speed area 21 where the assumed sliding speed of the object to be contacted is relatively high when the wearer comes into contact with the ball, and a low-speed area 22 where the assumed sliding speed is relatively low. For example, in rugby, when the wearer catches the ball, the ball often moves while sliding at high speed through the area corresponding to the abdomen (hereinafter referred to as the abdominal area) R1. Therefore, the high-speed area 21 of this embodiment is provided in the abdominal area R1, which is assumed to come into contact with the wearer when catching the ball. On the other hand, when the wearer is holding the ball, the ball often moves while sliding at low speed through the area corresponding to the front of the chest (hereinafter referred to as the front chest area) R2 and the area corresponding to the side of the chest (hereinafter referred to as the side chest area) R3. Therefore, the low-speed area 22 of this embodiment is provided in the front chest area R2 and the side chest area R3, which are assumed to come into contact with the object to be contacted when the wearer is holding the object to be contacted. For example, the assumed slip speed in the high-speed region 21 is 100 to 2000 mm / s, and the assumed slip speed in the low-speed region 22 is 1 to 10 mm / s.

[0016] For example, the abdominal region R1 can be the region below the lower edge of the wearer's ribs and sternum when viewed from the front, and the anterior chest region R2 and the lateral chest region R3 can be the regions above the lower edge of the wearer's ribs and sternum when viewed from the front. For example, the anterior chest region R2 can be the region located inward in the width direction with the position corresponding to the wearer's bust top as the boundary, and the lateral chest region R3 can be the region located outward in the width direction with the position corresponding to the wearer's bust top as the boundary.

[0017] The high-speed region 21 includes a right-side high-speed region 21a located on the right side and a left-side high-speed region 21b located on the left side. The low-speed region 22 includes a right-side low-speed region 22a located on the right side and a left-side low-speed region 22b located on the left side.

[0018] The anti-slip member 100 is a protrusion that prevents the ball from sliding on the outer surface of the sportswear 1. In this embodiment, the anti-slip member 100 is adhered to the garment portion 10 and covers the garment portion 10. The method of adhering the anti-slip member 100 to the garment portion 10 can be any known method, such as a method of heat-transferring a sheet-like material to the garment portion 10 or a method of applying an uncrosslinked raw material onto the garment portion 10 and curing it. Multiple first and second anti-slip members 100A and 100B are provided on the garment portion 10, respectively.

[0019] The anti-slip member 100 is made of a material that has a larger coefficient of dynamic friction with respect to the ball, for example, compared to the clothing portion 10. It is desirable that the anti-slip member 100 be made of a material that does not deteriorate chemically or physically due to washing, drying, or outdoor exposure of the sportswear 1.

[0020] Figure 3 shows the measurement results of the relationship between the sliding speed of a ball sliding on the anti-slip member 100 and the coefficient of dynamic friction for each constituent material of the anti-slip member 100. The frictional force generated when the side surface of an aluminum cylinder (diameter Φ=10 mm, length h=8 mm in the central axis direction of the cylinder) was brought into contact with clothing parts A to D and anti-slip members (silicone rubber) E to F, each composed of different materials, in water and slid 50.0 mm was measured. Abrasive paper was placed on the side surface of the aluminum cylinder. The vertical load was set to 10 gf (= 0.0981 N), and the coverage rate of the anti-slip member (silicone rubber) was set to 100%. Here, the coverage rate refers to the ratio of the area of ​​the anti-slip member 100 to the total area in contact with the object being contacted. The frictional force was measured for sliding speeds of 0.10 m / s, 1.0 m / s, and 10.0 m / s.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3, when an aluminum cylinder was slid on clothing parts A to D, the coefficient of dynamic friction remained almost unchanged regardless of the sliding speed. On the other hand, when an aluminum cylinder was slid on silicone rubber E to G, the sliding speed and the coefficient of dynamic friction showed a positive correlation at all sliding speeds. At a sliding speed of 10 mm / s, the coefficient of dynamic friction was higher for silicone rubber E to G than for clothing parts A to D. Although not shown in Figure 3, it is suggested that silicone rubber E to G may show an even higher coefficient of dynamic friction at sliding speeds greater than 10 mm / s. In other words, in order to generate a greater frictional force at sliding speeds greater than 10 mm / s, it is considered effective to select a material as the covering material that increases the coefficient of dynamic friction with increasing sliding speed, such as silicone rubber E to G, to construct the slip-suppressing member 100. For example, the slip-suppressing member 100 can be made of a soft material such as silicone resin, elastomer, silicone rubber, or soft matter with an elastic modulus of 100 MPa or less. Such a slip-suppressing member 100 has the property that the coefficient of dynamic friction increases as the sliding speed of the ball on the outer surface of the sportswear 1 increases (for example, when the sliding speed increases from 0.1 mm / s to 10 mm / s, the coefficient of dynamic friction increases by 1.5 times or more, preferably by 2 times or more).

[0022] The first anti-slip member 100A is provided to cover the high-speed region 21, and the second anti-slip member 100B is provided to cover the low-speed region 22. In this embodiment, the anti-slip members 100 are not provided in the central portions of the abdominal region R1 and the anterior chest region R2, but the embodiment is not limited to this, and anti-slip members 100 may be provided in the central portions of each region. It is desirable that the anti-slip members 100 are provided in such a way as not to hinder the movement of the human body.

[0023] Figure 4 shows the measurement results of the relationship between the coverage rate of the anti-slip member 100 and the coefficient of dynamic friction. Silicone rubber was applied and cured as the anti-slip member 100 on the clothing portion 10, and the frictional force generated between the ball outer shell and the anti-slip member 100 was measured when the ball was slid 50.0 mm in water. The bottom surface size (contact area) of the ball outer shell was set to 30 mm x 30 mm, and the anti-slip member 100 with coverage rates of 0%, 1 row x 2 rows (10% coverage), 2 rows x 2 rows (20% coverage), 3 rows x 2 rows (30% coverage), and 4 rows x 2 rows (40% coverage) was brought into contact with the ball outer shell. The vertical load was set to 500 gf (= 0.491 N), and the sliding speed was set to 10.0 m / s.

[0024] As shown in Figure 4, the coefficient of dynamic friction tended to increase with increasing coverage of the anti-slip member 100. This suggests that increasing the coverage of the anti-slip member 100 over the expected contact area 20 is effective in generating high friction at the interface between the anti-slip member 100 and the ball's outer shell under water lubrication. For example, it is desirable for the first anti-slip member 100A to cover 10% or more of the abdominal region R1, and for the second anti-slip member 100B to cover 10% or more of the anterior chest region R2 and the lateral chest region R3.

[0025] Figure 5 shows the measurement results of the relationship between the coating thickness of the anti-slip member 100, the sliding speed, and the coefficient of dynamic friction. Silicone rubber was applied and cured as the anti-slip member 100 on the clothing portion 10, and the frictional force generated between the ball outer shell and the anti-slip member 100 was measured when the ball was slid 50.0 mm in water. The bottom surface size (contact area) of the ball outer shell was set to 30 mm x 30 mm, the coating rate to 100%, and the vertical load to 500 gf (= 0.491 N). For each anti-slip member 100 with coating thicknesses a=0 mm, b=0.090 mm, c=0.160 mm, d=0.180 mm, and e=0.380 mm, the coefficient of dynamic friction was measured for each case where the ball sliding speed was 0.10 m / s, 1.0 m / s, 10.0 m / s, and 100 m / s. As shown in Figure 5, regardless of the coating thickness a to e, the coefficient of dynamic friction showed a positive correlation with the sliding speed, and at a sliding speed of 10 m / s, it was approximately constant for all thicknesses.

[0026] Figure 6 is a plot of the slope of the coefficient of dynamic friction with respect to sliding speed for each coating thickness, based on the measurement results in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 6, it was found that the slope increases with increasing coating thickness, and becomes constant when the coating thickness is 0.180 mm or more. Therefore, in order to generate a high frictional force, it is considered effective to thin the sliding suppression member 100 so that the slope is relatively small when the sliding speed is 10.0 m / s or less, and to thicken the sliding suppression member 100 so that the slope is relatively large when the sliding speed is 100 m / s or more.

[0027] In this embodiment, the coating thickness of the first slip-suppressing member 100A in the high-speed region 21 is relatively large, and the coating thickness of the second slip-suppressing member 100B in the low-speed region 22 is relatively small. For example, the coating thickness of the first slip-suppressing member 100A can be 130 μm or more and 250 μm or less, and the coating thickness of the second slip-suppressing member 100B can be 40 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0028] Figure 7 shows the measurement results of the coating thickness of the first slip-suppressing member 100A in the AA cross-section of Figure 8, which will be described later. In Figure 7, the vertical axis represents the height distance of the protrusion of the first slip-suppressing member 100A, and the horizontal axis represents the distance in the AA direction of Figure 8. As shown in Figure 7, the coating thickness of the first slip-suppressing member 100A is, for example, 140 μm. Also, as shown in Figure 7, the first slip-suppressing member 100A is configured to protrude in a flared shape. The second slip-suppressing member 100B is similarly configured to protrude in a flared shape. In other words, the first slip-suppressing member 100A and the second slip-suppressing member 100B have a roughly trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, and the corners between the top surface and the side surface are rounded. By forming the first anti-slip member 100A and the second anti-slip member 100B in this manner, it is expected that when the ball comes into contact with the first anti-slip member 100A or the second anti-slip member 100B, stress concentration at the contact point will be reduced, thereby preventing damage to the first anti-slip member 100A and the second anti-slip member 100B and preventing them from peeling off the clothing portion 10.

[0029] Figure 8 is an enlarged view of the high-speed region 21, and Figure 9 is an enlarged view of the low-speed region 22. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the planar shape of the slip-suppressing member 100 is configured as an elongated shape with an aspect ratio greater than 1, preferably 2 or more. In this embodiment, the planar shape of the slip-suppressing member 100 is configured as, for example, a hexagon.

[0030] Figure 10 shows the measurement results of the relationship between the longitudinal angle of the anti-slip member 100 with respect to the direction in which the ball slides (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the angle of the anti-slip member 100) and the coefficient of dynamic friction. Silicone rubber was applied and cured as the anti-slip member 100 on the clothing portion 10, and the frictional force generated between the ball outer shell and the anti-slip member 100 was measured when the ball was slid 50.0 mm in water. The bottom surface size (contact area) of the ball outer shell was set to 5 mm × 10 mm, the anti-slip member 100 was set to 4 mm × 10 mm, the vertical load was set to 30 gf (= 0.294 N), and the sliding speed was set to 10.0 mm / s. The frictional force was measured for each case where the angle of the anti-slip member 100 with respect to the direction in which the ball slides was 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, and 90°.

[0031] As shown in Figure 10, it was confirmed that the coefficient of dynamic friction tends to decrease as the angle of the anti-slip member 100 increases. In other words, it is suggested that in order to generate a high frictional force, it is effective to position the anti-slip member 100 so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the direction of the ball's sliding (parallel to the direction of the ball's sliding). This is thought to be because the more the longitudinal direction of the anti-slip member 100 is aligned with the direction of the ball's sliding, the larger the contact area between the ball's outer shell and the anti-slip member 100 when the ball comes into contact with the anti-slip member 100, resulting in the generation of a greater frictional force.

[0032] For example, when a ball slides on the first slip-suppressing member 100A, the angle of the first slip-suppressing member 100A with respect to the assumed direction of the ball's sliding is set within a range of ±30 degrees, preferably ±15 degrees. For example, when a ball slides on the second slip-suppressing member 100B, the angle of the second slip-suppressing member 100B with respect to the assumed direction of the ball's sliding is set within a range of ±30 degrees, preferably ±15 degrees.

[0033] Here, Figure 11 illustrates the expected direction of ball sliding on the slip-suppressing member 100. As mentioned above, in rugby, the ball is more likely to come into contact with the sportswear 1 when the wearer catches the ball or when the wearer is holding the ball. As shown in Figure 11, when the wearer catches the ball, the ball often moves vertically in the central part of the abdominal region R1, and when the wearer is holding the ball, it often moves diagonally in the anterior chest region R2 and lateral chest region R3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the slip-suppressing members 100 are arranged along the assumed slip direction shown in Figure 11. For example, the first slip-suppressing member 100A is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the vertical direction, and the second slip-suppressing member 100B is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is inclined with respect to the vertical direction and the extension of the upper end of its longitudinal direction faces inward (see Figures 8 and 9).

[0035] Incidentally, sportswear 1, such as uniforms used in rugby and other sports, comes into contact with and rubs against the ball's outer shell when the wearer catches or holds the ball, due to the nature of the sport. In such conditions, the ball's outer shell may slide on the outer surface of the sportswear 1, potentially causing the ball to be dropped or fumbled. Dropping the ball here refers to dropping a ball that the wearer was about to catch because it slides at high speed on the sportswear 1. Fumble here refers to losing control of a ball that the wearer is holding because it slides at low speed on the sportswear 1. In addition, sportswear 1 is often wet with sweat, which reduces the friction between the ball's outer shell and the sportswear 1, making the ball more likely to slip. Conventionally, the sliding of the ball on the outer surface of the sportswear 1 has been suppressed by coating the main fabric of the sportswear 1 with a slip-suppressing material 100 such as silicone rubber.

[0036] Here, in order to generate a higher frictional force between the outer shell of the ball and the sportswear 1, and to make it easier to suppress the ball from slipping, it is conceivable to increase the coverage rate of the anti-slip member 100 on the outer surface of the sportswear 1, for example. However, in this case, problems such as deterioration of breathability and increased weight of the sportswear 1 will arise.

[0037] Figure 12 illustrates the relationship between the magnitude of the ball's sliding speed, the thickness of the coating of the anti-slip member 100, and the coefficient of dynamic friction. Figure 12 shows the relationship between sliding speed and the coefficient of dynamic friction for an anti-slip member with a relatively thick coating ("Thick" in the figure) and an anti-slip member with a relatively thin coating ("Thin" in the figure). As shown in Figure 12, at low sliding speeds of 50 mm / s or less, the coefficient of dynamic friction of the relatively thin anti-slip member Thin is greater than that of the relatively thick anti-slip member Thick. At sliding speeds of around 50 mm / s, both exhibit similar coefficients of dynamic friction. At high sliding speeds of around 100 mm / s, the coefficient of dynamic friction of the relatively thick anti-slip member Thick is greater than that of the relatively thin anti-slip member Thin. Therefore, the relationship between the coating thickness and the coefficient of dynamic friction is reversed between low and high sliding speeds.

[0038] The inventors of the present invention focused on the fact that, as shown in Figure 12, the relationship between the thickness of the coating of the anti-slip member 100 and the coefficient of dynamic friction is reversed depending on the ball's sliding speed, and arrived at the present invention. That is, in the sportswear 1 of this embodiment, a first anti-slip member 100A with a relatively large coating thickness is provided in the high-speed region 21 where the assumed ball sliding speed is relatively high, and a second anti-slip member 100B with a relatively small coating thickness is provided in the low-speed region 22 where the assumed ball sliding speed is relatively low. With this configuration, since the anti-slip member 100 with a relatively thin coating is placed in the low-speed region 22, it is possible to realize sportswear 1 that can obtain a sufficient anti-slip effect while suppressing deterioration of breathability and weight increase.

[0039] In this embodiment, the high-speed region 21 is the region that is expected to come into contact with when the wearer catches the ball, and the low-speed region 22 is the region that is expected to come into contact with when the wearer holds the ball. With this configuration, it is possible to place the anti-slip member 100, which has a thickness that can effectively exert an anti-slip effect, in an appropriate region according to the expected contact region 20 and the expected sliding speed in a specific action performed by the wearer.

[0040] In this embodiment, the high-speed region 21 is provided in the abdominal region R1, and the low-speed region 22 is provided in the anterior chest region R2 and the lateral chest region R3. With this configuration, it is possible to place the anti-slip member 100, which has a thickness that can effectively exert an anti-slip effect, in an appropriate region according to the assumed contact area 20 and assumed sliding speed in rugby. Therefore, in rugby, it is possible to effectively suppress dropping the ball and fumbling the ball during actions such as running with the ball in hand or catching the ball.

[0041] In this embodiment, the assumed sliding speed in the high-speed region 21 is 100 to 2000 mm / s, and the assumed sliding speed in the low-speed region 22 is 1 to 10 mm / s. With this configuration, it is possible to place the sliding suppression member 100, which has a thickness that can effectively exert a sliding suppression effect, in an appropriate region according to the assumed sliding speed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the planar shapes of the first slip-suppressing member 100A and the second slip-suppressing member 100B are configured to be elongated. The angle of the longitudinal direction of the first slip-suppressing member 100A with respect to the assumed direction of ball sliding when the ball slides on the first slip-suppressing member 100A is set within the range of ±15°, and the angle of the longitudinal direction of the second slip-suppressing member 100B with respect to the assumed direction of ball sliding when the ball slides on the second slip-suppressing member 100B is set within the range of ±15°. With this configuration, the contact area between the ball's outer shell and the slip-suppressing member 100 when the ball comes into contact with the slip-suppressing member 100 can be increased, thereby enabling a more effective slip-suppressing effect.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first slip suppression member 100A is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the vertical direction. With this configuration, the first slip suppression member 100A can be positioned in an appropriate orientation along the slip direction expected in the high-speed region 21, thereby enabling the slip suppression effect of the first slip suppression member 100A to be exerted more effectively.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second slip suppression member 100B is positioned such that its longitudinal direction is inclined with respect to the vertical direction, and the extension of its upper end in the longitudinal direction faces inward. With this configuration, the second slip suppression member 100B can be positioned in an appropriate orientation along the slip direction expected in the low-speed region 22, thereby enabling the slip suppression effect of the second slip suppression member 100B to be exerted more effectively.

[0045] Variation The following describes some variations.

[0046] In the first embodiment, the sportswear 1 is composed of short sleeves, but is not limited to this, and may be an upper garment such as long sleeves, three-quarter length, short sleeves, sleeveless, or tank top, or a lower garment such as long length, ankle length, three-quarter length, or knee length, or it may be a one-piece upper and lower body garment, or an item worn on a part of the body (such as an armband).

[0047] In the first embodiment, the abdominal region R1, the anterior chest region R2, and the lateral chest region R3 were set as the expected contact area 20, but the embodiment is not limited to this, and other areas may be set as the expected contact area 20 depending on the characteristics of the sport, for example.

[0048] The ranges of the contact area 20, high-speed area 21, low-speed area 22, abdominal area R1, anterior chest area R2, and lateral chest area R3 are not limited to the ranges shown in Figure 2, but can be set as appropriate. Similarly, the upper arm area R4 and forearm area R5, described later, are not limited to the ranges shown in Figures 14 and 15.

[0049] In the first embodiment, the anterior chest region R2 and the lateral chest region R3 were set as the low-speed region 22, but the invention is not limited to this, and at least one of the anterior chest region R2 and the lateral chest region R3 may be set as the low-speed region 22.

[0050] In the first embodiment, multiple first and second anti-slip members 100A and 100B are formed on the garment portion 10, but the embodiment is not limited to this. Only one first and second anti-slip member 100A and 100B may be formed on the garment portion 10.

[0051] Figure 13 illustrates a modified arrangement of the second anti-slip member 100B. In the first embodiment, the second anti-slip member 100B is uniformly arranged in the low-speed region 22 such that its longitudinal direction is inclined with respect to the vertical direction and the extension of its upper end in the longitudinal direction faces inward, but is not limited to this. As shown in Figure 13, the second anti-slip member 100B may be arranged in different orientations for each part of the low-speed region 22. In the example in Figure 13, the right low-speed region 22a is divided into first to fifth low-speed sub-regions 24a to 24e. In the first to fourth low-speed sub-regions 24a to 24d, the second anti-slip member 100B is arranged concentrically so that its longitudinal direction is along the circumferential direction. In the fifth low-speed sub-region 24e, the second anti-slip member 100B is arranged such that its longitudinal direction is inclined with respect to the vertical direction and the extension of its upper end in the longitudinal direction faces inward. This arrangement allows for effective slip suppression of the second slip suppression member 100B while improving aesthetics. Figure 13 shows an example where the low-speed region 22 is divided into five low-speed sub-regions, but it is not limited to this; the low-speed region 22 may be divided into two or more low-speed sub-regions. Similarly, Figure 13 shows an example where the right-side low-speed region 22a is divided into the first to fifth low-speed sub-regions 24a to 24e, but it is not limited to this; at least one of the right-side low-speed region 22a and the left-side low-speed region 22b may be divided into two or more low-speed sub-regions. The same applies to the second high-speed region 21d shown in Figure 15 below.

[0052] In the first embodiment, the planar shape of the slip-suppressing member 100 is configured as a hexagon, but it is not limited to this, and may be configured as an elliptical or polygonal shape, for example.

[0053] The surface roughness of the anti-slip member 100 is not particularly limited, and for example, the surface of the anti-slip member 100 may be embossed or otherwise treated.

[0054] Second Embodiment A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In the drawings and description of the second embodiment, components and members that are the same or equivalent as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals. Descriptions that overlap with those of the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate, and the description will focus on the configurations that differ from those of the first embodiment.

[0055] Figure 14 is a front view showing the sportswear 1 according to the second embodiment. The sportswear 1 of the second embodiment is a top worn by a soccer goalkeeper or the like. In the example of Figure 14, the sportswear 1 of the second embodiment is made up of long sleeves, but is not limited to this.

[0056] For example, in soccer, when a goalkeeper wearing the garment catches the ball, the ball often slides at high speed through the abdominal region R1 and the anterior chest region R2. When the goalkeeper is holding the ball, the ball often slides at low speed through the region corresponding to the upper arm (hereinafter referred to as the upper arm region) R4 and the region corresponding to the forearm (hereinafter referred to as the forearm region) R5. Therefore, the high-speed region 21 of this embodiment is provided in the abdominal region R1 and the anterior chest region R2, and the low-speed region 22 of this embodiment is provided in the upper arm region R4 and the forearm region R5. Accordingly, as shown in Figure 14, in the second embodiment, the first slip-suppressing member 100A is provided in the abdominal region R1 and a part of the anterior chest region R2, and the second slip-suppressing member 100B is provided in the upper arm region R4 and a part of the forearm region R5.

[0057] In the second embodiment, the high-speed region 21 includes a first high-speed region 21c provided in the abdominal region R1, a second high-speed region 21d provided extending from the abdominal region R1 to the anterior chest region R2, and a third high-speed region 21e provided in the anterior chest region R2. The low-speed region 22 includes first and second right-side low-speed regions 22c and 22d provided in the right upper arm region R4 and forearm region R5, respectively, and first and second left-side low-speed regions 22e and 22f provided in the left upper arm region R4 and forearm region R5, respectively.

[0058] In soccer, when a goalkeeper catches the ball, the ball often moves vertically in the abdominal region R1 and the anterior chest region R2, and when the goalkeeper is holding the ball, it often moves along the longitudinal direction of the arm in the upper arm region R4 and the forearm region R5. Therefore, the first slip-suppressing member 100A is positioned in the first to third high-speed regions 21c to 21e so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the vertical direction. The second slip-suppressing member 100B is positioned in the first and second right-side low-speed regions 22c and 22d and the first and second left-side low-speed regions 22e and 22f so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the upper arm and forearm, respectively.

[0059] In the second embodiment, the high-speed region 21 is provided in the abdominal region R1 and the anterior chest region R2, and the low-speed region 22 is provided in the upper arm region R4 and the forearm region R5. With this configuration, in soccer, dropping the ball or fumbling the ball during running while holding the ball or catching the ball can be effectively suppressed.

[0060] In this case, if a relatively thick anti-slip member 100 is placed in the upper arm region R4 and the forearm region R5, the goalkeeper's movements, such as extending their arm, will be easily hindered. In the second embodiment, by placing a relatively thin second anti-slip member 100B in the upper arm region R4 and the forearm region R5, it is possible to minimize the hindering of the aforementioned movements, such as extending the arm, while more effectively exhibiting the anti-slip effect of the second anti-slip member 100B.

[0061] In the second embodiment, a high-speed region 21 is provided in the abdominal region R1 and the anterior chest region R2, and a low-speed region 22 is provided in the upper arm region R4 and the forearm region R5. However, the embodiment is not limited to this, and a high-speed region 21 may be provided in at least one of the abdominal region R1 and the anterior chest region R2, and a low-speed region 22 may be provided in at least one of the upper arm region R4 and the forearm region R5.

[0062] Figure 15 is a front view showing a modified sportswear 1 of the second embodiment. In the example of Figure 15, the high-speed region 21 includes a first high-speed region 21c and a second high-speed region 21d, and the second high-speed region 21d is divided into first to fifth high-speed partial regions 23a to 23e. In the fifth high-speed partial region 23e, the first slip-suppressing member 100A is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the vertical direction. On the other hand, in the first to fourth high-speed partial regions 23a to 23d, the first slip-suppressing members 100A are arranged concentrically so that their longitudinal direction is aligned with the circumferential direction. By arranging them in this way, the slip-suppressing effect of the first slip-suppressing member 100A can be effectively exerted while improving the design.
