System usable in two different modes

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system useable in two modes, having the form of an upper body garment and comprising a central body ( 1; 19 ) suitable for covering the torso of a wearer, said central body ( 1; 19 ) being provided with an opening ( 2; 20 ) for the waist of the wearer that is reducible by way of a slidable string ( 11; 26 ), an opening ( 3; 21 ) for the neck of the wearer and a frontal opening ( 4; 22 ) extending between said opening ( 3; 21 ) for the neck and said opening ( 2; 20 ) for the waist, as well as with two sleeves ( 5; 23 ). The central body ( 1; 19 ) also comprises fastening means ( 7; 25 ) allowing substantial closure of said frontal opening ( 4; 22 ) and of said opening ( 3; 21 ) for the neck. The central body ( 1; 19 ) is further provided with a compartment ( 16; 34 ) containing a protective sheet ( 17; 35 ) suitable, in a system mode, to be extracted from said compartment ( 16; 34 ) and fixed in an extended disposition to an external side of said central body ( 1; 19 ).

1 . A system useable in two different modes, having the form of an upper body garment comprising:
 a central body suitable for covering the torso of a wearer, provided with an opening for the waist of the wearer, an opening for the neck of the wearer and a frontal opening extending between said opening for the neck and said opening for the waist; and   two sleeves;   
       said central body being provided with fastening means allowing substantial closure of said frontal opening and of said opening for the neck, said opening for the waist being reducible by means of a slidable string, characterized in that the central body is provided with a compartment containing a protective sheet suitable, in a system mode, to be extracted from said compartment and fixed in an extended disposition to an external side of said central body. 
     
     
         2 . A system according to  claim 1 , comprising a hood, also closable by means of said fastening means. 
     
     
         3 . A system according to  claim 2 , wherein said compartment is positioned in proximity of said opening for die neck and is suitable, in a system mode, to contain said hood. 
     
     
         4 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein it further comprises a turnover flap that is fixed to the central body, said turnover flap being suitable, in a system mode, to rest on said opening for the waist, substantially closing it. 
     
     
         5 . A system according to  claim 4 , comprising connecting means suitable to block said turnover flap in at least two positions, wherein in a first position said turnover flap is positioned substantially parallel to a portion of the central body and in a second position said turnover flap closes said opening for the waist. 
     
     
         6 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said central body is provided with two internal pockets suitable, in a system mode, to receive said two sleeves turned inside out into the central body. 
     
     
         7 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said fastening means comprise a bidirectional zip slider. 
     
     
         8 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said central body is provided with two pockets containing extractable grips. 
     
     
         9 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said central body comprises a belt provided with closing hooks which may be engaged with each other and with suitable clasps fixed to said central body.
