Abstract
A water-resistant lower torso and leg garment system such as a wader or bib that includes a suspension system, a set of leg regions, and a torso region. The torso region is disposed over a portion of the torso of the user such that the front, two sides, and back of the torso region correspond to the ventral, lateral, and dorsal sides of a user respectively. The torso region further includes a novel rear storage system including a proximal surface substantially disposed adjacent to the dorsal side of the user, a distal surface disposed distally from the proximal surface with respect to the user, an internal region between the proximal and distal surface, and at least one opening between the proximal and distal surface to the internal region.
Claims20
A water-resistant lower torso and leg garment system configured to be worn by a user over a portion of their torso and leg regions comprising:
- a suspension system configured to support the garment on the user;
- a set of leg regions shaped to correspond to the legs of the user;
- a torso region intercoupled between and to both the set of leg regions and the suspension system, wherein the torso region is disposed over a portion of the torso of the user, and wherein the torso region further includes a front, two sides, and a back corresponding to the ventral, lateral, and dorsal sides of a user respectively;
- a rear storage system disposed on the back of the torso region comprising:
- a proximal surface substantially disposed adjacent to the dorsal side of the user;
- a distal surface disposed distally from the proximal surface with respect to the user;
- an internal region between the proximal and distal surface;
- at least one opening between the proximal and distal surface to the internal region;
- and
- wherein the rear storage system is integrally constructed with the torso region and the set of leg regions as part of the overall garment system to maintain water resistance without separate coupling.
