Abstract

A thermoregulated recreational garment includes a front pouch with side entry openings for warming or resting the hands therein during periods of inactivity, a front pocket located behind the front pouch, and two side ventilation openings. The two side ventilation openings are adapted for quick venting and cooling of the body, typically after periods of strenuous activity when a lot of body heat is built up inside the garment. The torso section also can include long sleeves with extended cuffs and thumb holes to allow the user to slide their thumbs therethrough so that the cuffs cover the user's wrists during cold weather outdoor activities. The front pocket is adapted to hold an audio device, and typically an opening such as a grommet or eyelet is fitted through the back wall of the front pocket to provide access for headphone wires. The front pocket is sized adequately so excess wire length can be carried within it, thereby avoiding tangling, even during periods of heavy exercise and rapid arm movements, such as during skiing or snowboarding.

In this regard, ventilated garments are distinguished from garments made of perforated fabrics or other highly breathable materials. Known closure devices such...
