| Abstract: |
The nose and cheek warmer and protector is to be used by skiers as an attachment to ski goggles. It consists of an opaque, thermally insulating and absorptive material which helps to keep the skin surface in the areas surrounding the lower part of the eyes, the nose, and the upper cheeks warm, reduces windburn, reduces sunburn, and reduces moisture accumulation from perspiration or the weather elements. It is attached by means of the hook type of fasteners by a skier to ski goggles to provide maximum comfort and protection. It can be laundered.

| Claim |
We claim:
1. A nose and cheek warmer and protector comprising:
- (a) a panel having a perimeter including a top edge which extends over the bridge of a wearer's nose and across the wearer's skin beneath the eyes, two side edges which lie against the cheeks on each side of the wearer's face, and a lower edge which lies across an upper cheek area and across a lower tip of the nose above the nostrils of the wearer, said panel lying against the wearer's skin without covering or surrounding the eyes, nostrils, or mouth,
- (b) said panel being made of an opaque, thermally insulating, and absorptive material which helps to maintain skin warmth, absorb moisture, and prevent the direct transmission of sunlight or wind to the skin surface,
- (c) an attachment means adjacent said top edge for securing the protector to a foam lining of ski goggles, allowing molding of the panel to the shape of the face and nose of the wearer, and
- (d) stitching along the perimeter and over said edges which helps to maintain the integrity of the overall panel shape, reducing fraying during usage and laundering.
