0006To remedy this situation, the present invention proposes a combination the harness prior to the jacket, which the greatest possible flexibility in use permits while avoiding the problems indicated.

0007This object is achieved by the features of claim. 1 Essential is in the invention that the jacket in a simple manner together with the Harness can be created from this but is easily separable.

For the latter case, a back part with integrated advisable Buoyancy aid. This may be about an inflatable bladder in an integrally formed his collar area.

0015In the following the invention will be with reference to the variant embodiment shown in Figures described in detail. Schematically:<dl tsize="6"><dt>Fig. 1</dt><dd>a stylized illustrated Peron with an inventive Combination in a view from the front;</dd><dt>FIG. 2</dt><dd>the person of Figure 1 in a view from behind.</dd><dt>Fig. 3</dt><dd>the breast portions of the jacket in a view from the front;</dd><dt>Fig. 4</dt><dd>the entire jacket in a view from the front;</dd><dt>Fig. 5</dt><dd>the jacket in a view from behind;</dd><dt>Fig. 6</dt><dd>the harness with spreading seat;</dd><dt>Fig. 7</dt><dd>the combination in a view from the front with the open and outstretched chest parts; and</dd><dt>Fig. 8</dt><dd>a representation corresponding to Fig. 7 with the deployed seat.</dd></dl>
