Water sports garment having a multi-layered zone

An aquatic sports garment comprising:

• an outer layer;
• at least one multi-layered zone comprising at least the outer layer, the multi-layered zone further comprising an underlying layer made of an elastic material;
• in at least one protective zone, adapted to be arranged opposite at least one joint of a wearer of the garment, the underlying layer lines the skin of the wearer in an elastically deformable manner so as to protect the skin from contact with the outer layer;
• the underlying layer comprising a fixing zone, the underlying layer being fixed directly or indirectly to the outer layer in the fixing zone and, at least in the protective zone, the outer layer and underlying layer being free from one another;
• the underlying layer comprising a perimeter forming the fixing zone for fixing said underlying layer on the outer layer, said perimeter of the underlying layer being substantially identical to a perimeter of the outer layer demarcating a bending zone, the bending zone comprising a development surface of the outer layer, said development surface of the outer layer being larger than a development surface of the protective zone of the underlying layer, so as to create a looseness of the outer layer with respect to the underlying layer to facilitate movement while eliminating constraints on the skin of the wearer.

An aquatic sports garment comprising:

• a plurality of discrete spaced-apart multi-layered zones, each of said plurality of multi-layered zones being localized to cover a different respective protective zone of a plurality of protective zones of a wearer of the garment;
• each of said plurality of multi-layered zones comprising:
• an outer layer comprising neoprene, said outer layer having a thickness and an elasticity;
• an underlying layer comprising elastic fibers adapted to contact the skin of the wearer;
• the underlying layer having a thickness less than the thickness of the outer layer;
• the underlying layer having an elasticity greater than the elasticity of the outer layer;
• the underlying layer having a peripheral fixing zone, the underlying layer being fixed relative to the outer layer in the fixing zone;
• in the different respective protective zones, the underlying layers of the plurality of multi-layered zones being non-attached to the outer layers of the multi-layered zones to allow free movement therebetween.
