Jumpers
Sci-fi teleportation thriller
Jumpers are garments, though which garment depends on where you are.
In American English, a jumper is a sleeveless dress worn over a blouse or shirt—what the British call a pinafore dress.
In British English, a jumper is a pullover sweater: She wore a woolly jumper against the cold.
The word also refers to people or things that jump: The horse was a good jumper.
