A lower back entry body suit consists of a one piece body having a front, a back, a torso covering upper portion and a lower portion that extends from waist to ankle dividing to define a first leg and a second leg. An access entry is provided into the body suit extending part way up the first leg, across the back, and part way down the second leg. This is the only access entry location on the body for the user to don or doff the body suit.

The disclosure relates to integration of water sports apparel with leashes and other water sports accessories. For example, a wetsuit can be adapted for integration with a leash to reduce entanglement of the leash with a user's feet and eliminate the need to adjust the orientation of the leash on the user during a water sports session.

A dry suit having detachable or permanent zippered compression flaps. The compression flaps can be disposed over the front or the back of a dry suit. The compression flaps are used to gather and hide excess dry suit materials and dry zipper ends under the compression flaps. The compression flaps form a tunnel around the wearer under which a kayak spray skirt or a kite boarding/surfboarding harness can be worn.

The present inventive concept relates to a sealing arrangement for garments to sealingly connect an annular layer and a wearable layer to the sealing arrangement. The sealing arrangement comprises a sealing device and a reinforcement clip. The sealing device comprises an annular sealing body and an annular base, the latter having inner and outer annular wall portions at least partly defining a recess in the annular base. The sealing device comprises an annular sealing surface for circumferentially and sealingly connecting the annular layer to the annular base, and the annular sealing body is adapted to be locked into the recess to circumferentially and sealingly connect the wearable layer between the annular base and the annular sealing body. The reinforcement clip comprises a sealing device locking portion arranged at a first end portion of the reinforcement clip and arranged to be locked to at least one of the inner and outer annular wall portions, a counter acting portion arranged at a second end portion of the reinforcement clip, which is configured to, in use, counter act a relative movement of the outer and inner annular wall portions whereby the risk of the annular sealing body to be released from the recess is reduced.

The dry suit is preferably manufactured as a one-part combination suit from a three-layer, waterproof but air-permeable fabric laminate with max. mass per unit area of 220 gr/m.sup.2, and it seamlessly encloses the feet as well. A waterproof zip fastener extends from the crotch to the top of the collar. The sleeves are each fitted with a waterproof zip fastener extending backward from the front edge of the cuff along the forearm. With said waterproof zip fastener, the collar and chest area as well as the sleeves and front sleeves can be opened to a certain extent, providing an effective cooling function, which makes wearing the dry suit in non-critical mission phases significantly more comfortable and less tiring. In addition, said dry suit has a total weight of less than 1.5 kg and is correspondingly easy to wear on the body.

A system and method of measuring bioelectric signals generated by an individual, inclusive of humans or other living organisms, comprises a plurality of sensors, at least one of the plurality of sensors being constituted by a capacitive-type sensor. Sensor has an associated insulated layer of material preventing the conduction of direct current between an electrode and individual, wherein a bioelectric signal of individual can be measured underwater.

A self-inflating wetsuit includes two (2) air chambers within the chest area of the wetsuit. A canister of compressed air is attached to the wetsuit and in fluid communication with the air chambers. The wetsuit has an integrated thermometer capable of reading the temperature of the environment inside and outside the wetsuit. The wetsuit has a battery-operated warming feature and an integrated GPS system so that the wetsuit may be accurately located.

A technique for delivering heating or cooling to a diver includes a suit that includes a water-impermeable outer layer, an insulating layer having a channel extending along a diver-facing surface thereof, and a tube disposed within the channel of the insulating layer. The tube is constructed and arranged for carrying heat-transfer fluid to a proximity of the diver's skin.
