PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exterior member for a wire harness which does not need a large size facility and multiple molding dies and enables easy dimensional change, and to provide a wire harness including the exterior member.SOLUTION: A wiring harness 9 includes: an exterior member 24; and a high voltage conductive path 25 inserted into the exterior member 24. The exterior member 24 includes: flexible parts 31 to 34 which may be formed into bending shapes; and solid parts 35, 36 having shapes fixed as straight portions. The flexible parts 31 to 34 are formed in desired portions of a corrugate tube 28. The solid parts 35, 36 are formed by straight pipes 29, 30 which cover the outer side of portions 38, 39 of the corrugate tube 28 which exclude the desired portions.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】大型設備や複数の成形金型を必要とせず、また、寸法変更も容易なワイヤハーネス用の外装部材と、この外装部材を構成に含んでなるワイヤハーネスとを提供する。【解決手段】ワイヤハーネス９は、外装部材２４と、この外装部材２４に挿通される高圧導電路２５とを含んで構成される。外装部材２４は、曲げ形状にすることが可能な柔軟部３１〜３４と、形状をストレートな部分として固定することが可能な固形部３５、３６とを有する。柔軟部３１〜３４は、コルゲートチューブ２８の所望の部分で形成される。また、固形部３５、３６は、コルゲートチューブ２０の上記所望の部分以外の部分３８、３９の外側を覆うストレートパイプ２９、３０で形成される。【選択図】図２
