Description
- The present invention relates to clothing generally and specifically to outerwear for use in cold weather.
- On colder days, most people don coats to keep themselves warmer when out of doors for a length of time. On very cold days, and especially when out of doors for extended periods, the choice of what garments to wear to keep warm can be as important from a safety standpoint as for comfort. Without adequate insulation from outerwear to preserve body heat, a person can suffer hypothermia or freeze to death. A person out of doors on such days will generate more or less body heat depending on the activities engaged in. Furthermore, the type of activity of the wearer may vary greatly, ranging from sitting for extended periods in the cold when hunting or when attending a sports event, to much more rigorous activity such as hiking over rough terrain. Thus the anticipated outdoor activity of the wearer will have a significant bearing on the choice of outerwear.
- Outerwear, which term refers to garments worn over other the clothing typically worn indoors, includes coats, vests, hats, scarves, gloves, hoods, and capes, all of varying sizes and styles. Outerwear may be made of natural or man-made materials, woven or non-woven fabrics, and combinations of fabrics. Outerwear may use a variety of closures such as slide fasteners, buttons, and hooks and loops. Specialty outerwear for hunting may carry camouflage patterns and textures.
- There is a need for outerwear that can be easily and quickly adapted for the particular activity level of the individual, not only in advance but at the time of the activity level change. If a hunter has been sitting for an extended period of time in very cold weather and then begins to walk, the increasing activity will at first warm her but may eventually make her uncomfortably warm. Being able to reduce the ability of the outerwear to insulate or alternatively to increase its ability to vent heat from the outerwear is important in keeping the wearer from becoming too warm and perspiring while at the higher activity level only to may make her even colder when her activity level is again reduced.
- Thus there remains a need for improvement in outerwear garments, particularly in cold weather for extended out of door use.
- According to its major aspects and briefly recited, the present invention is an outerwear system to be worn by an individual for extended periods out of doors in cold temperatures. The improved outerwear system includes a vest that serves as a hub to which various components may be attached as needed. These components include a hood, a cape, sleeves, and a vest extension to extend the vest to cover the lower torso and legs. These components are preferably attached with slide fasteners.
- The outerwear according to a preferred embodiment is made of a material that consists of at least three layers: an inner non-woven fabric which provides both warmth and comfort to the wearer, a second layer is preferably made of a polymer impregnated with scent absorbing compounds. The third layer is preferably made of a woven material such as breathable wool or synthetic, preferably waterproofed. For use of the present outerwear in hunting, the third layer may carry a camouflage pattern or texture and the intermediate layer can carry an odor absorber.
- The choice of components is a major feature of the present invention. As the need for preserving body heat increases, the combination of hood, cape, sleeves and vest extension become more important as a way to extend the outerwear to cover those parts of the body that can also lose heat: the head and arms, the lower abdomen and thighs. In addition, the cape doubles the insulation on the body core and brings the arms within it to keep them warmer.
- The system of individually attachable components is another major feature of the present invention. Each component can be attached or not, as the user wishes. This feature allows the user to select those components needed for the activity engaged in and to shed them one at a time as no longer needed.
- These and other features and their advantages will be apparent to those skilled in the art of apparel design from a careful reading of the Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments accompanied by the following drawings.
