Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] This disclosure pertains to a cold weather garment and method of using said cold weather garment. BACKGROUND [0002] There are many cold weather activities, especially those involving long periods of inactivity, which require the use of a warm garment. Many of these activities only require the warm garment at particular times during the activity. For example, the garment may not be needed while traveling to and from the activity but is needed during the activity. [0003] Deer hunting, ice fishing or watching sporting events are some examples of activities where a warm garment is not needed while traveling to and from the hunting spot, ice fishing spot or sporting event, but is needed during the activity. For example, staying warm is not a problem while walking to and from the hunting or fishing spot because the physical activity of walking keeps the person warm. But when the person reaches the desired fishing or hunting location they may sit still and become cold without the proper gear. Additionally, a person may begin to perspire while walking to and from hunting or fishing spots, especially if they are wearing a warm garment. [0004] Then, while sitting still waiting for fish to bite or a deer to pass by, a person may become cold because of the cold temperature and inactivity. Furthermore, they may become cold more quickly if they are damp from perspiring. This situation can be exacerbated by wind drafting into seams or openings in typical garments, such as jackets, for example. Jackets allow cold wind to penetrate the interior of the jacket through the bottom, the neck, and sleeves. Wind entering the interior of the jacket, especially in combination with perspiration, greatly reduces the garment's ability to keep a person warm in cold environments. SUMMARY [0005] In one example embodiment of the present disclosure, a cold weather garment is disclosed, which includes a bag made to receive a user's feet and a cape for wrapping around the user while in a sitting position. The bag has at least one strap for carrying the bag. Capes made according to the principles of the present disclosure can be made in any number of shapes and sizes and can be made of various materials or combinations of materials. For example, in one embodiment the cape may be constructed of a weatherproof material. In yet another embodiment, the cape may be constructed of a quiet material or both a quiet and weatherproof material. The cape, along with the bag, could also be reversible such that different sides serve different functions. [0006] In another example embodiment, the bag has shoulder straps, so the user can carry the bag like a backpack. The user carries the backpack, which has the cape inside, until the user requires the cold weather garment. To use the cold weather garment, the user removes the cape from the bag, places the user's feet in the bag and wraps the cape around the user's body. In some embodiments, a portion of the cape can also wrap around a portion of the bag and the user's legs. [0007] In yet another aspect of an example embodiment, the bag could include a flap for closing the bag when the bag is being transported or stored. When the bag is being used, the cape is removed from the bag. Again, the user places his feet in the bag, but in this example embodiment, the user takes the flap and places it over his lap and then wraps the cape about the user's body to stay warm. [0008] In yet another aspect of an example embodiment, the cold weather garment could include a backpack having a cape connected to the backpack such that the cape fits inside of the backpack and the backpack can be closed when not in use. When the user needs the garment to stay warm, the user removes the cape from the backpack, places his feet inside the bag and wraps the cape around the user's body. In this example embodiment, the cape could include a hood to receive the user's head and fasteners on the cape to keep the cape wrapped about the user's body.
