Abstract
The breathability of garments, for example, jackets, trousers, and the like, is enhanced by a novel ventilation device. This ventilation device is composed of one or more openings in the outer material over which a closable cover having a closure tab is located, which ensures a clearance from the opening. An opening facing downward is formed between the outer material and the cover, the cover being composed of an additional outer material. This downward-facing opening can be closed as required.
Claims11
A garment with enhanced breathability which has at least one ventilation device, comprising a ventilation opening in an outer material of the garment and a cover having a border, wherein
- the cover extends on the outer material of the garment over the ventilation opening and forms with the outer material a further opening in at least one region;
- the border of the cover is attached in the remaining regions of the border to the outer material, the cover between the regions in which the cover is attached to the outer material having a clearance relative to the outer material, and having a closure tab in at least one region in which the cover forms the further opening with the outer material, by which closure tab the further opening is closable;
- and
- the closure tab in an opened state is movable inward into the cover such that the cover forms an arch stabilized by the closure tab.
