The present invention is directed to an exercise activity suit for use by a user. The exercise activity suit includes a plurality of flexible and elastic strips and a flexible tensioner system. The plurality of flexible and elastic strips are configured in the suit, wherein the plurality of flexible and elastic strips are connected through the tensioner system. The suit according to the present invention engage the muscles and then builds and releases a combination of kinetic energy and potential energy during use.

Embodiments of the disclosure include an athletic skirt that comprises a top end configured to be worn about the waist of a wearer and at least one panel of material extending downward from the top end of the skirt. A weighted material is coupled to a lower portion of the panel of material comprising the skirt.

Adjustable garments are provided that have one or more features to adjust the length of one or more dimensions of the garment to fit a growing child. For instance, an adjustable jacket can have a series of stitches that allow for the adjustment of the length of a sleeve. A permanent hem stitch and a temporary stitch on the sleeve are arranged and constructed in a particular way to allow for the sleeve to extend as a child grows. In another example, adjustable pants can have a plurality of snap fasteners on an interior surface of a leg to adjust the length of the leg. The snap fasteners are arranged and constructed in a particular way so that a snap fastener at the distal end of the leg can selectively connect to the remaining fasteners to shorten the length of the pant leg.

Exemplary embodiments contained herein include garments having biomechanical components including neurobands, posture mounts, expansion panels, and combinations thereof.

A garment includes features of a pair of shorts and a skirt. An exemplary embodiment includes a pair of compression shorts including a waistband, legs, and a gusseted crotch made of a moisture-wicking fabric.
