Abstract
The present invention relates to athletic garments and, in particular, to tight, form-fitting athletic garment with panels to simultaneously warm preselected small, fragile muscles and tendons and provide ventilation for preselected large, hard-working and heat-generating muscles. In a preferred embodiment, the garment is a runner's tight with relatively open mesh panels covering the quadraceps and calf muscles and tightly knit panels covering the hamstring muscles, the front of the leg, the achilles tendons region and the groin area. The open mesh panels and the knit panels are preferably joined at their adjacent edges by relatively broad, four-needle flat seams which provide a proprioceptive effect.
