1. A wire harness comprising:
a wire harness main body including an electric wire and an exterior tube enclosing an outer circumference of the electric wire;
a first path restricting cover that is attached to an outer circumference of the exterior tube and restricts a path of the wire harness main body;
a second path restricting cover that is attached to an outer circumference of the first path restricting cover and restricts the path of the wire harness main body, wherein:
the second path restricting cover covers the outer circumference of a portion in a lengthwise direction of the first path restricting cover, and covers the outer circumference of the exterior tube that is displaced from the first path restricting cover in a lengthwise direction of the wire harness main body and is exposed from the first path restricting cover,
the first path restricting cover includes a first main body that covers a portion of the outer circumference of the exterior tube, and a first insertion port that is open in a direction orthogonal to a lengthwise direction of the first main body and extends along an entire length in the lengthwise direction of the first main body,
the second path restricting cover includes a second main body that covers a portion of the outer circumference of the first path restricting cover and a portion of the outer circumference of the exterior tube, and a second insertion port that is open in a direction orthogonal to a lengthwise direction of the second main body and extends along an entire length in the lengthwise direction of the second main body, and
the second path restricting cover is configured to slide along the outer circumference of the first path restricting cover in the lengthwise direction of the wire harness main body;
an attachment that is provided spaced apart from the first path restricting cover in the lengthwise direction of the wire harness main body and is attached to the outer circumference of the exterior tube, wherein:
the second path restricting cover extends from one end in the lengthwise direction of the first path restricting cover to the attachment, and
the second path restricting cover includes a first covering portion that covers the outer circumference of the first path restricting cover and a second covering portion that covers an outer circumference of the attachment;
a first fixing member that fixes the first covering portion of the second path restricting cover to the outer circumference of the first path restricting cover;
a second fixing member that fixes, to the outer circumference of the exterior tube, an end in the lengthwise direction of the first path restricting cover that is exposed from the second path restricting cover; and
a third fixing member that fixes the second covering portion of the second path restricting cover to the outer circumference of the exterior tube.
