DESCRIPTION

Weatherproof jacket with integrated

eyelets as weather protection openings and

adjustable closure tabs

The invention relates to a new weather protection jacket, especially for mountain hikers, which is characterized by the fact that it allows the user to continue hiking on the rope with the jacket completely closed and thus optimally protects the user's body from cooling down,

Users of a conventional weatherproof jacket, known commercially as an anorak or similar, currently have no means of protecting their bodies against cold, rain, snow and the like during high-altitude tours or mountain hikes on a rope, which can occur suddenly or unexpectedly in isolated areas such as remote mountain regions or when crossing a glacier. This means that commercially available, conventional anoraks or similar jackets are unsuitable as weather protection for alpine high-altitude hikes on a rope, particularly in severe weather.

The invention aims to create such weather protection jackets which, during high mountain hikes on a rope and when severe weather suddenly occurs, such as rain, snow, wind, hail and similar adversities, allow the user to continue hiking on a rope with the greatest possible protection, ie minimal loss of body temperature, even if the adverse weather conditions occur suddenly or unexpectedly.

This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1, since the left and right side of the front of the weather protection jacket according to the invention has two eyelets at chest height as weather protection openings on both sides of the main zipper, which can be opened and closed with adjustable tabs made as Velcro fasteners.

The invention enables alpine mountain hikers to continue their mountain tour physically unharmed when severe weather sets in, with a fully closed weatherproof jacket and minimal temperature loss, but still roped up.

Further features, advantages and details of the invention emerge from the following description of an embodiment based on the drawings. In this:

ed section

As can be seen from Fig. 1, the weather protection jacket Ci) according to the invention and primarily intended for alpine mountain hikers has a front part (A). The front part (A) is divided into two halves by a central front opening. The front part (A) of the weather protection jacket (1) can be opened and closed using a zipper (2). Two rectangular Velcro openings (10) are incorporated into the weather protection jacket (1) on both halves of the front part (A) in a vertical arrangement. Within the Velcro opening (10) on both sides of the front part (A) of the weather protection jacket (1), two eyelets (4) are inserted one below the other as the weather protection openings (3) according to the invention in order to accommodate different body sizes. Next to the eyelets (4) there is a closure tab (12) attached to each eyelet, which is secured by a snap fastener (11) that cannot be opened. The inside of the tab has Velcro hooks, which allow it to be attached to the Velcro wool mentioned above.

(10). The snap fasteners (11) allow the closure flap (12) to be lowered or folded upwards. These adjustable closure flaps (12) allow the weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4) to be exposed or covered (closed) as required.

The weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4) are exposed by removing the closure tabs (12) from the Velcro wool (10), folding them down and then fixing them again with light pressure on the Velcro wool (10), as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. The weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4) are now exposed. The weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4) are closed by removing the closure tabs (12) that have been folded down from the Velcro wool (10), folding them up and placing them over the weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4) and fixing them on the Velcro wool. The weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4) are now closed again.

In good weather conditions, when hiking in high alpine mountains, especially when crossing glaciers, the conventional climbing/chest harness (5) shown in Fig. 2 is worn over a shirt or sweater. A safety loop (6) is pulled through the loops (9) of the climbing/chest harness (5) and tied. The carabiner (?) of the running rope (8) is hooked into the safety loop (8). Hiking on the rope is now possible in good weather.

Weather possible.

If the weather is unpredictable during the hike, such as cold wind, hail or snow, the mountain hiker will put on a conventional anorak or similar jacket for protection. However, he cannot close the jacket completely because the running rope (8) connected to the climbing/chest harness (5) prevents the zipper (2) from closing completely.

This disadvantage is eliminated by the weather protection jacket (1) according to the invention with the weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4). As already mentioned, the advantage of the weather protection jacket (1) according to the invention is primarily that it thoroughly protects the user from the cold and getting wet.

For this purpose, the weather protection jacket (1) according to the invention is put on over the climbing/chest strap (5). The fastening tab (12) or similar fasteners are detached from the Velcro (10) and folded down and fixed back onto the Velcro. Now the safety loop (6) of the climbing/chest strap (5) located under the weather protection jacket (1) is pushed through the eyelets/weather protection openings (4/3), as shown in Fig. and Fig. 6.

Then the zipper (2) is completely

closed. Now the safety loop {6} hanging from the eyelets (4) is knotted. The carabiner (7) of the running rope (8) is now hooked into the knotted safety loop (6) protruding from the weather protection openings/eyelets (3/4), as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.

In this way, mountain hiking with a fully closed weatherproof jacket, but still roped up and secured, is possible, especially in severe weather. The health and life of the user is optimally protected, and in particular, the weatherproof jacket according to the invention prevents cooling down.
