Zipperless wetsuit

A zipperless entry wetsuit including a shoulder region with arms attached thereto, the shoulder region extending between upper portions of said arms, comprising:

• a bib extending from the wetsuit to pivot freely with respect thereto and having an outer collar formed as a closed circle, the bib located to allow the outer collar to extend over the head of a wearer of the wetsuit and overlie said shoulder region;
• an inner collar defining an entryway centered in said shoulder region between said arm upper portions, said inner collar formed in said shoulder region underneath said outer collar when said outer collar extends over the wearer's head, said inner collar made of resilient material adapted to stretch to allow entry of a human into the wetsuit through said entryway, wherein said bib extends from said wetsuit on a first side of said inner collar;
• and
• a second bib extending from said wetsuit on a second side opposite said inner collar from said first side and including an adjustment strap, wherein said outer collar includes a fastener and said strap has a complementary fastener to mate with said outer collar fastener and help seal said entryway.

A method of manufacturing a wetsuit comprising:

• stitching one or more panels of foam rubber material having an inner laminate of nylon together to form an inner collar defining an upper entryway, in a relaxed state the entryway being sized to conform to a neckline of a wearer of the wetsuit, said material having sufficient flexibility to allow said entryway to stretch apart at least twice its relaxed size;
• stitching a bib to a first side of said entryway, said bib adapted to pivot in a generally vertical plane about a stitchline and having a circular outer collar positioned to extend over the head of a wearer to overlie said inner collar and seal said entryway from water ingress;
• providing a fastening means on said outer collar;
• and
• forming a second bib on said wetsuit on a second side opposite said inner collar from said first side, said second bib having bifurcated adjustment straps, said straps having fastening means complementary to said outer collar fastening means.

A wetsuit, comprising:

• an inner collar defining an entryway for a human body between shoulders of the wetsuit, the inner collar having a relaxed size approximating a neckline of the wearer and made of resilient material adapted to stretch to allow entry of a human into the wetsuit through the stretched entryway;
• an outer collar attached to the wetsuit and having a closed circular portion adapted to stretch over the head of a wearer to overlie the inner collar and supplement a seal at the entryway preventing water ingress to the wetsuit;
• and
• a tabular neck attached to said outer collar and formed of material more stretchy than said outer collar, said neck adapted to snugly conform to a human neck to supplement said entryway seal.
