Claim:
A vented apparel, comprising: an outer shell; an inner liner disposed adjacent at least a portion of an inside of the outer shell; a vent through the outer shell, wherein the vent is substantially covered by a screen; a zipper on the inner liner; and an adjusting mechanism on the outer shell; wherein the adjusting mechanism is connected to the zipper in order to move the zipper between a closed position and an open position; wherein the zipper, in the open position, permits air to flow through the vent and the screen between an outside of the outer shell and an inside of the inner liner; wherein the zipper, in the closed position, substantially prohibits air from flowing through the vent and the screen between the outside of the outer shell and the inside of the inner liner; wherein the adjusting mechanism is configured to be actuated to move the zipper between the closed position and the open position; wherein the zipper moves between the closed position and the open position without creating an opening in the outer shell; and wherein the screen is at least partially exposed regardless of whether the zipper is in the open position or the closed position and regardless of a position of the adjusting mechanism.
