Abstract

An article of clothing configured to cover leg portions of a wearer; wherein the clothing includes a first leg member. The first leg member includes a first selectably sealable aperture disposed about a front portion of the first leg member. The first leg member also includes a second selectably sealable aperture disposed about an exterior side portion of the first leg member. The first and second selectably sealable aperture include a zipper. In addition, the clothing includes a modesty layer coupled to the first and the second selectably sealable apertures. Furthermore, the article of clothing includes a second leg member coupled to the first leg member. The second leg member includes selectably sealable apertures that are substantially mirrored in number, position and orientation of those of the first leg member.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation in Part application of, under 35 U.S.C. § 121, and claims priority to, under 35 U.S.C. § 121, U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 11 / 186,579, entitled Apertured Clothing, by Cash Jr., filed on Jul. 21, 2005, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an article of clothing, specifically to clothing including a plurality of selectably sealable apertures.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]One function of clothing is to protect a wearer from exposure. However, a need to be protected from exposure may be variable, such as over different activities, or even different segments of a single activity. For example, a jogger may need full leg coverings when jogging in cold weather, especially at an initial portion of a jogging session. As a session continues, the exercise may generate addi...

Benefits of technology

[0019]The present invention has been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in particular, in response to the problems and needs in the art that have not yet been fully solved by currently available article of clothing. Accordingly, the present invention has been developed to provide an efficient and effective article of clothing that includes selectably sealable apertures that enable the user to control body temperature.

Problems solved by technology

In fact, additional generation of body heat may cause discomfort and / or overheating, wherein the body is shielded from heat exchange with the outside air.

However, it may be inconvenient, awkward, or inappropriate to remove and / or carry the leg coverings, despite what other clothing may be worn underneath and despite how easy it may be to remove the leg coverings.

However, the removed portion remains an inconvenience, as it may be lost, is no longer carried by the legs and may be difficult to reattach.

Also, while removing a lower leg portion may expose a substantial surface area, not all the area exposed is a source of heat, and may thereby be inefficiently and / or inappropriately cooled.

The inventions heretofore known suffer from a number of disadvantages which include being expensive, being limited in application, being limited in versatility, being limited in adaptability, being cumbersome, and being difficult to use.

In addition, in time competitions, such as running, cycling, or skiing, the necessity to stop the activity to adjust or remove clothing is a major disadvantage.
