Abstract
An electrical line exterior structure for a wire harness is provided that allows water accumulated in a gap formed between adjacent electrical lines or between an exterior member and a group of electrical lines to quickly drain. A tape-like exterior member is wrapped around insulated electrical lines. The exterior member includes a base layer having multiple water suction openings open on the inner circumferential surface that faces the electrical lines, and multiple water suction tube portions that protrude on the outer circumferential surface side of the base layer, and a capillary structure having water suction holes in communication with the water suction openings. When water comes into contact with the electrical lines, negative pressure is generated by capillary action of the water suction holes on the base layer side, and water inside the water suction holes is vaporized on the protruding end side of the water suction tube portions.
