Convertible garment having a ventilation opening and a storage pouch

摘要

The back part of the torso of the garment has a ventilation opening therein which can be selectively opened or closed by a slide fastener. A storage pouch is secured to the inside of the back part in surrounding relationship to the ventilation opening and provides a volume for receiving the garment when the pouch is pulled rearwardly of the garment through the ventilation opening. The storage pouch is formed of a sheet of material such as open mesh to provide free flow of air therethrough so that it will provide ventilation for the garment when it is worn as well as when it is in stored position. A flap is disposed adjacent the ventilation opening and extends laterally away from the garment when the ventilation opening is open to prevent the flap from closing off the opening. Air vents are provided under the arms. The open ends of the arms and legs can be closed by hook and loop type closure means such as VELCRO.
