Abstract
An improved garment is provided for a wearer. The garment includes a plurality of flexible, non-airtight garment modules having pockets. A plurality of flexible, water-resistant inserts are provided that are capable of being placed in and removed from the pockets. Preferably, the pockets of the garment modules and the water-resistant inserts for the pockets cover nearly the entire garment module. Because the pockets and the pocket inserts extend up to the edge regions, the edge regions serve, in effect, as flexible joints between adjacent pockets with their respective inserts.
