ABSTRACT:
A ventilated garment is provided having at least one substantially non-stretchable outer panel having inner and outer surfaces. The panel has a vent region including one or more openings. A substantially non-stretchable, air permeable material spans the vent region. An air impermeable lining sheet having a central void region is affixed to the inner surface so that the void region is substantially in registration will be vent region and so that the sheet is coupled to the inner surface about those regions. A cover element having a shape substantially corresponding to at least a potion of the vent region is affixed to the air impermeable lining sheet substantially along a first portion of the periphery of the void region. Adjustable closure elements adjustably couple the sides of the cover element to the air impermeable sheet so that the closure element may be selectively positioned to control the effective vent area of the vent region. Alternatively, the cover element can be affixed directly to the inner surface of the outer panel. The garment can further include a vent panel in the rear panel thereof which is adapted for permitting airflow from the interior of the garment to the outside along the principal plane of the vent panel. Airflow through the garment can be controlled with air inflow scoop elements and adjustable closure elements distal and/or proximal to the scoop elements.
