    • DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT AND BEST MODE
  • Referring now specifically to the drawings, a multilayer thermal garment according to the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, and shown generally at reference numeral 10. The garment 10 is adapted for emitting heat to predetermined targeted regions of the body, and is especially applicable for use by outdoorsmen in outdoor pursuits, such as hunting, fishing and camping, snow skiers, mountain climbers, hikers, and the like. The garment 10 comprises a number of interior, hidden pockets 11 designed for selectively receiving and holding respective heat packs 12. The heat packs 12, described further below, are strategically located by the wearer to heat only desired regions of the body. The garment 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1-6 is a multilayer thermal pullover top. For enhanced weather protection, the garment 10 has elastic cuffs 14, 15 and an elastic waist 16.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the garment 10 includes multiple layers comprising an insulating liner 21, an outer shell 22 covering the liner 21, and a number of pocket strips 23A, 23B, and 23C located between the liner 21 and outer shell 22. The insulating liner 21 resides adjacent the body, and forms an innermost layer of the garment 10. The liner 21 is preferably made of a soft, bulky, deep-piled knitted or woven fabric, such as fleece, with aluminized polypropylene adapted for reflecting dispersed heat back to the wearer. The outer shell 22 forms an outermost layer of the garment 10, and is made of a lightweight, breathable, windproof, and waterproof fabric, such as GORE-TEX® manufactured by W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. The insulating liner 21 and outer shell 22 are substantially co-extensive.
  • The pocket strips 23A, 23B, 23C, shown in FIG. 3, form an intermediate layer of the garment 10, and are sewn directly to the fleece liner 21 between the liner 21 and outer shell 22. As such, the outer shell 22 is completely free of any pocket stitch lines which may detract from the aesthetic appearance and water-repellent nature of the garment 10. According to one preferred arrangement, pocket strips 23A are designed for extending around the torso of the wearer, while strips extend 23B vertically along each sleeve. Each torso strip 23A is sewn along respective longitudinal edges directly to the fleece liner 21, and laterally at spaced intervals. The longitudinal and lateral stitch lines 25, 26 cooperate to define the hidden pockets 11 between the fleece liner 21 and outer shell 22, as best shown in FIG. 4. Each strip 23A, 23B, 23C comprises between 1-8 pockets 11. Elastic access slits 28, shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, are formed with the fleece liner 21 to provide convenient access to each of the pockets 11 from an inside of the garment 10. Each pocket 11 is designed to receive a single heat packet 12. The garment 10 may also include separate upper chest and upper back pockets 11 formed by respective strips 23C. For added comfort, the pocket strips 23A, 23B, 23C may include longitudinally-lain elastic yarns.
  • The heat packs 12, best shown in FIG. 4, are preferably activated instantly (within less than 20 minutes) upon exposure to air, and emit heat energy within a temperature range of 100 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit for a continuous period of between 10 and 24 hours. According to one embodiment, each pack 12 weighs less than 1.5 oz and has a relatively compact dimension of 2½″×4″. The heat packs 12 may be reusable or disposable. Examples of suitable commercial products include the OUTDOOR WARMER™ by Okamoto Industries, Inc. and HOT HANDS® by Heatmax Corporation. The primary ingredients of the OUTDOOR WARMER™ are iron powder, Water, and activated carbon. When the pouch is opened, these ingredients are exposed to oxygen in the air which starts a chemical reaction, known as oxidization. Water, activated carbon and other ingredients accelerate the oxidization and it generates heat while the iron powder turns to rust.
  • A further embodiment of a thermal garment 30 according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 7-11. The garment 30 is a multilayer thermal bottom applicable for wear by itself or in combination with the thermal top 10 described above. Like garment 10, the garment 30 has hidden pockets 31 for selectively holding respective heat packs 32, and elastic cuffs 34, 35 and an elastic waist 36 for enhanced weather protection.
  • As best shown in FIG. 9, the thermal garment 30 has multiple layers comprising an insulating liner 41, an outer shell 42 covering the liner 41, and a number of pocket strips 43 located between the liner 41 and outer shell 42. The insulating liner 41 resides adjacent the body, and forms an innermost layer of the garment 30. As previously described, the liner 41 is preferably made of a soft, bulky, deep-piled knitted or woven fabric, such as fleece, with aluminized polypropylene adapted for reflecting dispersed heat back to the wearer. The outer shell 42 forms an outermost layer of the garment 30, and is made of a lightweight, breathable, windproof, and waterproof fabric, such as GORE-TEX®. Like in garment 10, the insulating liner 41 and outer shell 42 are substantially co-extensive.
  • As described above, the pocket strips 43 form an intermediate layer of the garment 30, and are sewn directly to the fleece liner 41 between the liner 41 and outer shell 42. As such, the outer shell 42 is completely free of any pocket stitch lines which may detract from the aesthetic appearance and water-repellent nature of the garment 30. According to one preferred arrangement, pocket strips 43 are designed for extending along a length of each leg. Each strip 43 is sewn along respective longitudinal edges directly to the fleece liner 41, and laterally at spaced intervals. The longitudinal and lateral stitch lines 45, 46 cooperate to define the hidden pockets 31 between the fleece liner 41 and outer shell 42. Each strip 43 comprises between 1-8 pockets 31. Elastic access slits 48, shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, are formed with the fleece liner 41 to provide convenient access to each of the pockets 31 from an inside of the garment 30. Each pocket 31 is designed to receive a single heat packet 32. For added comfort, the pocket strips 43 may include longitudinally-lain elastic yarns.
  • A third embodiment of a thermal garment 50 according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 12-14. The garment 50 is a multilayer thermal cap with hidden pockets 51 for selectively holding respective heat packs 52. Like garments 10 and 30, the garment 50 has multiple layers comprising an insulating liner 61, an outer shell 62 covering the liner 61, and a pocket strip 63 located between the liner 61 and outer shell 62. The insulating liner 61 resides adjacent the head, and forms an innermost layer of the garment 50. As previously described, the liner 61 is preferably made of a soft, bulky, deep-piled knitted or woven fabric, such as fleece, with aluminized polypropylene adapted for reflecting dispersed heat back to the wearer. The outer shell 62 forms an outermost layer of the garment, and is made of a lightweight, breathable, windproof, and waterproof fabric, such as GORE-TEX®. Like in garments 10 and 30, the insulating liner 61 and outer shell 62 are substantially co-extensive.
  • The pocket strip 63 forms an intermediate layer of the garment 50, and is sewn directly to the fleece liner 61 between the liner 61 and outer shell 62. The strip 63 is sewn along respective longitudinal edges directly to the fleece liner 61, and laterally at spaced intervals. The longitudinal and lateral stitch lines 65, 66 cooperate to define the hidden pockets 51 between the fleece liner 61 and outer shell 62. Elastic access slits 68, shown in FIG. 14, are formed with the fleece liner 61 to provide convenient access to each of the pockets 51 from an inside of the garment 50. Each pocket 51 is designed to receive a single heat packet 52.
  • A multilayer thermal garment according to various embodiments of the present invention is described above. Various details of the invention may be changed without departing from its scope. Furthermore, the foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention and best mode for practicing the invention are provided for the purpose of illustration only and not for the purpose of limitation—the invention being defined by the claims.
