Weatherproof protective gear for cycling.
[Category : - Fishing and hunting- Boating- Biking]
[Viewed 851 times]
Is an apparatus which keeps the cyclist/user cool and dry, and facilitates breathing in extreme rainy weather conditions. The free fresh air is harness by "clip on vents" on the handle bars and the folk and channeled to the enclosed face shield via tubing to the hoodie face shield when the bicycle is in motion.
It's a SELF-COOLING system. This helps reduce the fog of the shield as well as the heat/temperature of the head/hoodie compartment with the cool rain effect.
The apparatus includes a full-head helmet made crushable to don a bicycle helmet, trooper hat, hard hat, etc. It has a face shield with hose connectors to attach to the tubing from the vents on the bicycle or the portable battery air-pump in the pouch.
The neck is one size fits all. Its an adjustable collar, we call a turtleneck, with a sleeveless torso shroud. And there are some minor adjustments to the conventional snorkel device. The full-head helmet can totally protect the user from any extreme downpour situation, 100% guaranteed. Untouchable!
The “hood” is great, but it has a flaw.
When cold rain water contacts the face and the skin reacts/twitches to it, it weakens the hoodie knot, and the dampening begins its journey downward toward the neck area, and eventually makes its way to the chest, the core.
When tour cycling you cannot let your body get wet if you are tent city every night on a cross country bike tour.
Why? Because you cannot recover the lost heat. The heat lost may do more harm than you can imagine when you are hundreds of miles from the comforts of home, or just nowhere. This is 100% total protection.
Yes, they have higher quality expensive rain gear, however in an all day “on again-off again” rainy day, makes removing your rain suit “off and on” again all day can be a very unpleasant experience. Simply put, the poncho is simple ingenuity. Its the downpour defender! Most people generally waits out a downpour situation.
Can you imagine this device in every service vehicle truck, or in every car (fix a flat in a downpour), and every kitchen or the threshold area of the front and back door next to an umbrella in every home?
It’s basically and simply a closed faced poncho with an air supply system and a pouch pocket, disc mangets for buttons, no straps or snaps, and a modified conventional snorkel.
On the bike version poncho, the neck area of the poncho is designed for the cyclist to feed himself from inside, and drink through the snorkel which can receive a water bottle straw from the outside.
I call it the Turtle Suit, because I designed it after a turtle. It's the HOODIE KILLER!
The bike version has a short front panel for legs and a longer back panel for back splash protection during raining. The color for the premium suit can be fluorescent yellow, orange or green, and of rubber material. A cheaper version poncho without the clip-on vents and portable pump can be used with just the "snorkel".and be made of 100% clear plastic material. .
The “poncho” is basically a giant square piece of material. The “Turtle Suit” is untouchable. Cyclist rain gear designed by a cyclist. Mass application, Mass appeal and Mass market, ya think?
Financial information
I'm a 67 y/o guy on social security. I am a motivated seller. If a good ideal is world a Million, a great ideal must be worth 3Xs more! This is lightening in a bottle, a unicorn invention.
Why reinvent the poncho? Its a large square piece of material with a hole in the middle. Well, I designed a technical hoodie, and I have the CAD FILE to manufacture the specialized hoodie and face shield.
I'm no genius but I believed in the success of this discovery to the extent that I opted not to utilize a patent search, which is unthinkable and unadvisable.
When I cycled from Chicago to Las Vegas in 45 days all tent city nights I had no ideal of an ETA. Everyday it rained it added a day to the tour because I could not let my chest get wet. I found myself exclaiming, "Why do my face have to get wet at all!"
