Definitions

  • Garments worn for many forms of exercise must fit tightly to the user's body to improve aerodynamics and prevent chafing.
  • garments worn as a base layer beneath a wetsuit must fit tightly to the user's body to prevent the garment from riding up as the wetsuit is donned or as the user maneuvers underwater.
  • These purpose-built garments work well for their intended uses but are often inappropriate as general wear in terms of style and comfort when the user is not actively engaged in sport.

  • the convertible nature of the garment allows the garment to be worn in a tight-fitting, special-purpose form during exercise and be adjusted to a different, looser form following completion of the exercise.
  • wetsuits have been worn by experts and amateurs alike for underwater activities such as diving or for cold-weather watersports such as surfing or kiteboarding.
  • a range of special, purpose-built exercise gear has been available to be worn under the wetsuit including specialized vests, shirts, pants, shorts, and dive skins.
  • the purpose of these garments is to allow the wetsuit to be donned smoothly and easily and to provide comfort to the user during the time that the wetsuit is worn.
  • these garments are highly functional, they can be expensive and are typically characterized by being very tight-fitting on the user. As such, these garments are inappropriate for day-to-day use outside of the wetsuit.
  • board shorts are characterized by a loose-fitting style, and they can comfortably be worn by the user both during and outside of water activities.
  • board shorts make a poor choice as a base layer under the wetsuit because they tend to wrinkle and ride up as the wetsuit is donned.
  • board shorts tend to bunch even further and cause the user great discomfort.
  • the exposed skin of the upper thighs may be subject to wax rash. In rare but serious cases, the bunching can be so severe that blood flow to the leg is restricted leading to medical problems including decompression sickness.
  • the loose fit of board shorts also allows air bubbles to become trapped in the shorts.
  • gear worn while running or riding a bicycle is designed to fit tightly to the user to improve aerodynamics, reduce chafing, and decrease billowing that can occur with loose-fitting clothing.
  • the tight-fitting style of most exercise gear may not be desirable when the user is not actively engaged in the exercise activity.
  • the tight fit of most exercise clothing can trap sweat and hot air against the user's body leading to discomfort and the potential for a rash.
  • the typical solution to this problem for a bicyclist is to carry a second pair of clothing to change into when not actively cycling.
  • carrying extra clothing on a bike is undesirable due to the weight and aerodynamic drag, and a changing area may not always be available at the cyclist's destination.
