Abstract
A wire harness has an exterior component (11a) that covers a certain part of at least one wires (12). The exterior component (11a) has parts having different hardness, including a relatively hard first part (111a), a relatively soft second part (112a), and a third part (113a) having an intermediate hardness between that of the first parts (111a, 112a). The first part is formed on a surface of the exterior component and functions as a shape keeping member and a protector. The second and third parts (112a, 113a) surround the certain part of the at least one wire 12 and each functions as a cushioning material and a muffler/soundproofing material. The first part (111a), the second part (112a), and the third part (113a) are formed integrally from a non-woven fabric (2) with thermo plasticity.
