| Abstract: |
Leg warmers which include a panel having at least one layer of thermal insulation and a closure system. The panel is designated to wrap around the wearer's leg from foot to crotch, and the closure system provides an essentially moisture and airtight seam between the edges of the panel. The leg warmers feature: (1) the combination of a zipper-type fastener and a pile- or snap-type fastener which holds the leg warmer on the wearer's leg, making it easier to start and close the zipper; (2) multiple zipper slides which also make it easy to provide ventilation; (3) pile-type fasteners at the bottom of the leg warmer which allows it to be adjusted to a snug, air, snow, and moisture excluding fit with the wearer's leg; (4) an adjustable suspender for attaching the leg warmer to the wearer's belt and thereby holding it up; and (5) various combinations of the foregoing, innovative features.

What is claimed is:
1. A leg warmer which comprises:
- a wrap around panel dimensioned to extend from the foot to the crotch of the wearer and to completely surround the wearer's leg, said panel being fabricated entirely of flexible materials, comprising at least one layer of thermal insulation, and having a top end and a bottom end and first and second, completely separable edges extending from the bottom end to the top end of the panel; and
- a closure system for so continuously joining the vertically extending edges of said panel together that said panel can be wrapped around the wearer's leg and said closure system then employed to provide a seam which is resistant to the passage of cold air and moisture between the first and second, vertically extending edges of the panel from the bottom end of the leg warmer to the top end thereof, said closure system including a first means for joining the two edges of the panel together over the major portion of the leg warmer length and fastener means above said first closure system means and extending from the first closure system means to the top end of the panel for fastening the first and second edges of the panel together at said top end after the panel has been wrapped around the wearer's upper leg and before the edges of the panel are joined together by the first closure system means, thereby facilitating the donning of the leg warmer and the manipulation of the first closure system means by fixing the edges of the panel together and holding the leg warmer to the upper part of the wearer's leg.
