| abstract |
The present invention aims to reduce form drag and provides a sports garment having a chest-covering portion (1) and an abdomen-covering portion(2) for covering the wearer's chest and abdomen respectively. The chest-covering portion includes an upper compressive zone (3) formed of a textile material having a higher modulus of elasticity than a textile material forming the abdomen-covering portion. This means that, in use, a greater compressive force is applied to the wearer's chest than the wearer's abdomen. |
