ABSTRACT:
A wetsuit (10) having an upper trunk portion (14), a lower trunk portion (12), and a neck region (16) including a neck opening (30). A closure panel (34) seals a V-shaped cut out region (38) that forms part of neck opening (30). Hooks (54) and loops (57) secure closure panel (34) in its closed position. In its open position, closure panel (34) substantially enlarges neck opening (30) to permit entry into and exit from the wetsuit through the neck opening. V-shaped cut out region (38) is limited to the upper trunk portion (14) and a double lined neoprene panel (45) is secured below the apex (43) of the V-neck opening. The double lined neoprene panel (45) acts as a stress disperser, in order to minimize wear and tear at the apex (43).
