Technical Wetsuit

Abstract

A wetsuit comprising first panels exhibiting a high-stretch and adapted to provide buoyancy to the wearer and second panels exhibiting a low-stretch and adapted to provide further buoyancy to the wearer wherein the first and the second panels are fastened together by seams and wherein the second panels are arranged according to the muscular configuration of the wearer to stimulate the muscular relaxation velocity of the wearer.

1 . A wetsuit comprising:
 at least one first panel exhibiting high-stretch and adapted to provide buoyancy to the wearer;   at least one second panel exhibiting low-stretch and adapted to provide further buoyancy to the wearer;   wherein the at least one first panel and the at least one second panel are fastened together by at least one seam;   and wherein the at least one second panel is arranged according to the muscular configuration of the wearer to stimulate muscular relaxation velocity of the wearer.   
     
     
         2 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one second panel being located along specific muscles of the wearer in order to increase the relaxation velocity of said specific muscles. 
     
     
         3 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein a movement of the wearer defines an action direction for a second panel and wherein said second panel apply a load to the wearer in the opposite direction to the action direction. 
     
     
         4 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein the wetsuit further comprises grip members provided on the inside of the panels and at both ends of specific muscles, said grip members being of a material that tends to grip the skin of the wearer. 
     
     
         5 . A The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one second panel being located along back muscles of the wearer chosen in a list comprising latissimus dorsi muscles and trapezius muscles. 
     
     
         6 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one second panel being located along muscles of the wearer chosen in a list comprising gluteal muscles and quadriceps. 
     
     
         7 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein the free extremities of the second panels are located at the openings of the wetsuit. 
     
     
         8 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein first panels and second panels are juxtaposed together to form the wetsuit, lateral faces of first panels facing lateral faces of second panels. 
     
     
         9 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein second panels being of variable stiffness to vary the stimulation the muscular relaxation. 
     
     
         10 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein second panels form one-dimensional strips having a length being at least 5 times greater than their width. 
     
     
         11 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein first panels are made of a material having a layer of foamed rubber material exhibiting a high stretch. 
     
     
         12 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein second panels are made of a material having a layer of foamed rubber material exhibiting a low stretch. 
     
     
         13 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one seam belongs to a list comprising flatlock stitching, overlocking, glued and blind stitched seam and heat tape sealing. 
     
     
         14 . The wetsuit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one first panel is coated with woven textiles on the inside of the wetsuit. 
     
     
         15 . A method of manufacturing a wetsuit comprising:
 determining the muscular configuration of a wearer,   designing at least one second panel arranged according to the muscular configuration of the wearer to stimulate muscular relaxation velocity of the wearer,   providing at least one first panel exhibiting high-stretch and adapted to provide buoyancy to the wearer,   providing at least one second panel exhibiting low-stretch and adapted to provide further buoyancy to the wearer,   fastening the at least one first panel and at least one second panel together by at least one seam.
