Body Covering Garment

Abstract

A body covering garment for use after water exposure includes a shell that is substantially complementary to a body of a user. A slit is positioned in a front of the shell and is configured to insert the body of the user into the shell. The slit extends from proximate to a waistline to a neckline of the shell. An aperture that is positioned in the shell extends from the front to a back of the shell between legs of the shell. The aperture is configured to allow urination and defecation by the user. A panel that is complementary to the aperture is selectively couplable to the shell to close the aperture. A hood is coupled to and extends from the neckline. The hood is configured to position over the head of the user such that a face of the user is substantially exposed.
