A diving suit waterproof connector having a lighting device, includes: a fixing tube part watertightly connected to an end of each of sleeves of the diving suit; and a fastening tube part connected to a neck portion of an underwater work glove, wherein the fixing tube part includes fastening protrusions; a rubber ring press-fitted thereto; and a first contact terminal, and the fastening tube part includes coupling protrusions; a second contact terminal; and a lighting part electrically connected to the second contact terminal.

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.

A survival helmet device for use in combination with a survival suit includes a helmet, inhale and exhale control valves, and at least one inflatable air cavity pocket secured to the survival suit for selectively controlling the air supply and buoyancy of the survival helmet device and the survival suit.

A friction-sealed water immersion suit is described having a suit body with a neck opening, arm openings, leg openings and an entry opening. The entry opening defines an upper section and a lower section. A friction-sealed coupling is provided at the entry opening for coupling the upper section and the lower section of the suit body. The friction-sealed coupling includes a flap on one of the upper section or the lower section made of an elastomeric material and an inner flap and an outer flap on the other of the upper section or the lower section made of an elastomeric material. The friction-sealed coupling being engaged by interleaving the flap with the inner flap and the outer flap.

A breathable waterproof stretchable multi-layer foam construct includes a stretchable closed-cell foam layer having a first face and a second face. A plurality of vents are dispersed across the foam layer, with each vent extending through the foam layer from a first end at the first face to a second end at the second face. A first breathable waterproof stretchable fabric laminate is bonded by adhesive to the foam layer and covering the first end of each vent at the first face. A second breathable waterproof stretchable fabric laminate is bonded by adhesive to the foam layer and covering the second end of each vent at the second face. The breathable waterproof stretchable multi-layer foam construct can be used to fabricate such articles as floatation-assist devices, sports apparel and water immersion suits.

A waterproof garment is provided that includes a waterproof garment textile defining a garment opening, and a sealing sleeve joined at the garment opening. The sealing sleeve includes a substantially waterproof textile composite in the form of a tube extending between (i) a first end having a first opening and configured to fit tightly around a wearers body part and (ii) an opposing second end having a second opening and joined to the waterproof garment textile by a seam around the garment opening. The textile composite includes a stretchable textile with a substantially waterproof coating layer applied to the stretchable textile.

Disclosed is a drysuit and/or semi-drysuit hydration assembly including an adapter configured to mate with an inflation valve assembly; a fluid reservoir adapted for positioning internally within a drysuit and/or semi-drysuit; a flexible hose fixedly attached to and passed through a wall of the adapter, the flexible hose having mouthpiece positioned on one end and an opposite end connected to an outlet of the fluid reservoir and being configured to pass fluid from the fluid reservoir to the mouthpiece. Further disclosed is a drysuit and/or semi-drysuit equipped with the hydration assembly.

A waterproof garment connector arrangement attaches a distal garment part (e.g. a glove) to a main body of a garment. The connector arrangement includes a first part having a first outward facing recess and an inward facing protrusion; and a second part having an outer engagement member for being received in the first outward facing recess and in inner engagement member for engaging the protrusion. The outer engagement member includes a second outward facing recess at least partially accommodated in the first outward facing recess. An annular member is fitted into the second outward facing recess, so that the annular member urges the outer engagement member against a wall of the first outward facing recess to secure the first part to the second part.

A waterproof seal includes a flexible annular tube formed by an inner layer and an outer layer of a garment and surrounding a passage through which a human appendage is intended to protrude. A first cord is positioned in a cavity defined by the annular tube. The first cord has a first end, a second end and extends more than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees around the passage with the first end and the second end exiting the annular tube. A second cord is positioned in the cavity defined by the annular tube. The second cord has a first end, a second end and extends more than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees around the passage with the first end and the second end exiting the annular tube. The first cord and the second cord cumulatively cover more than 360 degrees around the passage to provide an effective water seal.

A sealing arrangement for garments to sealingly connect an annular layer and a wearable layer to the sealing arrangement includes a sealing device and a reinforcement clip. The sealing device includes an annular sealing body and an annular base having inner and outer annular wall portions at least partly defining a recess in the annular base. The sealing device includes an annular sealing surface for sealingly connecting the annular layer to the annular base, and the annular sealing body is adapted to be locked into the recess to sealingly connect the wearable layer between the annular base and the annular sealing body. The reinforcement clip includes a sealing device locking portion arranged to be locked to the annular base, and a counteracting portion configured to, in use, counteract a relative movement of the outer and inner annular wall portions.
