A garment worn over a portion of a body of a wearer comprises a garment wall and an airflow inducer. The garment wall has a first garment wall airflow passage extending therethrough. The airflow inducer is attached to an exterior surface of the garment wall over the first garment wall airflow passage such that the airflow inducer encompasses the first garment wall airflow passage. The airflow inducer and the garment wall jointly define an air chamber. The first garment wall airflow passage is exposed within the air chamber. The airflow inducer is deformable such that the air chamber has a volume dependent upon a state of deformation of the airflow inducer. An airflow passage of the inducer provides for airflow between the air chamber and an ambient environment surrounding the garment.
