First Claim
Patent Images
1. A garment for personal wear, comprising:
- a body having first and second end regions;
a mechanical fastening system disposed on the body, the mechanical fastening system comprising;
a multi-directional stretchable landing member disposed in the first end region and comprising a multi-directional stretchable loop material, the multi-directional stretchable loop material being extensible during use in first and second substantially perpendicular directions and being elastomeric during use in at least one of the first and second directions, and a closure member disposed in the second end region and comprising a hook material adapted to refastenably engage the multi-directional stretchable loop material;
wherein the multi-directional stretchable landing member and closure member provide shear strength values of less than 3900 grams in each of the first and second directions.
