Abstract
A swim suit (1), particularly for competition swimming, comprising an outer shell (2) suitable to cover at least part of the body trunk and of the legs of a swimmer, wherein the outer shell (2) is made of a flexible stretchable fabric (3) and, in at least a region of the shell, carbon fibers are woven into the fabric.
Claims14
Swim suit, particularly for competition swimming, comprising an outer shell suitable to cover at least part of the body trunk and of the legs of a swimmer, wherein the outer shell is made of a flexible stretchable fabric having, in at least a region of the outer shell, a non-linear tensile stress-strain behavior with:
- a base strain range in which the tensile strain of the fabric is less than a transition strain value, and
- an overstrain range in which the tensile strain of the fabric is greater than the transition strain value, wherein a tensile modulus of the fabric in the overstrain range is greater than a tensile modulus of the fabric in the base strain range.
Swim suit, particularly for competition swimming, comprising an outer shell suitable to cover at least part of the body trunk and of the legs of a swimmer, wherein the outer shell is made of a flexible stretchable fabric having reinforcement threads and base threads, the base threads being woven together with the reinforcement threads,
- said base threads being polyamide-Lycra® threads comprising a Lycra® core and a polyamide fiber or fiber strand twisted about the Lycra® core, and
- said reinforcement threads being polyamide-carbon-Lycra® threads comprising a Lycra® core and a polyamide fiber or fiber strand coated with carbon and twisted about the Lycra® core.
