Abstract

An athletic garment and hygienic system include a body covering completely covering the torso of the wearer's body and covering all body parts between the wearer s torso and neck, between the wearer's torso and both ankles, and between the wearer's torso and both wrists. The garment includes a moisture absorbent, antimicrobial fabric to improve wicking of perspiration and moisture removal from the wearer's body and to prevent contact of the wearer's skin against the skin of other individuals and surfaces. Material reinforcement is added where the garment covers the wearer's body in at least two of the wearer's crotch, knees, elbows, and forearms. The garment can include a dispenser for storing and dispensing hygienic towels, with an outer impermeable layer to inhibit moisture loss from within the dispenser. The hygienic system can include a permeable bag for garment storage and garment sanitizing without removal from the bag during laundering.
