## Abstract

Provided is a finishing treatment method of seamless sportswear and outdoor clothing, including: welding two or more moisture-permeable waterproof fabrics with an ultrasonic welder in a state of overlapping end parts thereof each other; and finishing the end parts of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabrics with a seal sealing tape, whereby in the seamless sportswear and outdoor clothing which are finishing treated according to the embodiments of the present invention, since a sewing part such as over lock and the like is removed, a friction or compression phenomenon can be prevented from being generated from a part to which a pressure is applied, a sewing wrinkle generation phenomenon generated upon sewing and a coating face slip phenomenon of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric due to a sewing needle can be solved, and excellent tensile strength and waterproof performance can be realized.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A finishing treatment method of seamless sportswear and outdoor clothing, comprising:
a) welding two or more moisture-permeable waterproof fabrics with an ultrasonic welder in a state of overlapping end parts thereof each other; and
b) finishing the end parts of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabrics with a seal sealing tape.

### Claim 2

A finishing treatment method of seamless sportswear and outdoor clothing, comprising:
a) welding an inner gusset of a zipper pan and a folded part of a moisture-permeable waterproof fabric with an ultrasonic welder in a state of overlapping them each other;
b) attaching and fusing a folded side of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric resulting from the folded part of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric with a polymer adhesive film; and
c) finishing an outer gusset of the zipper part with a seam sealing tape.

### Claim 3

A finishing treatment method of seamless sportswear and outdoor clothing, comprising:
a) attaching and fusing a folded side of a moisture-permeable waterproof fabric resulting from a folded part of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric with a polymer adhesive film;
b) primarily welding an end part of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric and another moisture-permeable waterproof fabric corresponding to the end part of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric with an ultrasonic welder in a state of overlapping them each other;
c) cutting a moisture-permeable waterproof fabric for finishing treatment having the same shape as the end part of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric, and secondarily welding the end part of the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric for finishing treatment with the ultrasonic welder in a state of overlapping them each other; and
d) finishing the moisture-permeable waterproof fabric for finishing treatment with a seam sealing tape.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1, 2, 3)
