Garment with adjustable compression

A garment configured to be worn on a human body part, the garment comprising:

• a torso portion;
• at least one fabric portion comprised of an elastic material, the at least one fabric portion provided on the torso portion or a limb portion of the garment, the at least one fabric portion configured to provide a degree of compression to the human body part depending on a degree of stretch of the at least one fabric portion;
• and
• a compression adjustment arrangement coupled to the at least one fabric portion, the compression adjustment arrangement comprising a first fastener pad and a plurality of discrete second fastener pads, the first fastener pad providing a first fastener member and each of the second fastener pads providing a second fastener member that is associated with and complimentary to the first fastener member, the compression adjustment arrangement configured to (i) retain the at least one fabric portion at a first degree of stretch with the first fastener member engaging one of the plurality of discrete second fastener members, (ii) allow the first fastener member to move relative to the plurality of discrete second fastener members in order to increase the degree of stretch of the at least one fabric portion from the first degree of stretch to a second degree of stretch without releasing the at least one fabric portion from the first degree of stretch to a lesser degree of stretch, and (iii) retain the at least one fabric portion at the second degree of stretch with the first fastener member engaging another of the plurality of discrete second fastener members.

A garment comprising:

• a first fabric portion comprised of a stretchable material;
• a second fabric portion moveable on the garment relative to the first fabric portion;
• and
• a fastening arrangement including a first fastener pad coupled to the first fabric portion and a plurality of discrete second fastener pads coupled to the second fabric portion, the first fastener pad providing a first fastener member and the plurality of discrete second fastener pads providing a plurality of second fastener members, the first fastener member and the plurality of second fastener members having substantially the same shape, wherein the first fastener member and a first of the second fastener members are releasably coupled together to retain the first fabric portion in place relative to the second fabric portion with the first fabric portion at a first degree of stretch with an associated indicia of the first degree of stretch provided on the second fabric portion in association with the first of the second fastener members, and wherein the fastener arrangement is further configured such that coupling of the first fastener member to a second of the second fastener members retains the first fabric portion in place relative to the second fabric portion with the first fabric portion at a second degree of stretch with an associated indicia of the second degree of stretch provided on the second fabric portion in association with the second of the second fastener members.
