Problems solved by technology

Because ski masks are often worn during times of great activity, such as while snow skiing, and are typically removed after the activity for comfort, it is very common for the ski mask to fall out of a coat or sweatshirt pocket and thus become lost.

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring to the drawings in general, and more particularly to FIG. 1, a garment 100 is shown therein to have a body portion 102 and a head-and-face cover 104. In the position shown in FIG. 1, the head-and-face cover 104 would be positioned over the head and face of a person (not shown). It is generally contemplated that the head-and-face cover 104 is a ski mask. However, the head-and-face cover 104 may also be used for any other activity where it desirable to completely cover the head and face.

[0026] A main purpose of the head-and-face cover 104 is to provide a layer of insulation to retain body heat. In particular, the head-and-face cover 104 provides a protective layer on the surface of the skin to impede heat convection from the skin and thereby prevent cooling, drying and damaging of the skin.

[0027] The garment 100 has a collar 106 that, when the garment is worn by a person, surrounds a neck and throat of the person. The head-and-face cover 104 has eye openings 108 tha...

Abstract

The invention is directed to a garment with an attached head-and-face cover, such as a ski mask, and a hood. The head-and-face cover has eye openings and a mouth opening. The garment has a body portion and a collar. When the head-and-face cover is not deployed on a head and face of the wearer, the head-and-face cover is inserted into a storage structure. The storage structure may be a pouch that dangles from the garment body portion by a connecting piece. In another embodiment, the storage structure may be a pocket sewn to the hood or to the front portion or back portion of the garment body portion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to an article of apparel and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a garment having a head-and-face cover and a hood. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Ski masks have been common items of winter apparel for many years. Ski masks are types of head-and-face covers that resiliently engage the head and face to keep warm the face, ears and head in cold weather conditions. Because ski masks are often worn during times of great activity, such as while snow skiing, and are typically removed after the activity for comfort, it is very common for the ski mask to fall out of a coat or sweatshirt pocket and thus become lost. [0005] A wearer may also use a head-and-face cover for several other purposes. For example, police and military personnel use head-and-face covers to minimize light reflection from the face of a wearer during night operations. Head-and-face ...
