Leg warmers

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;
• 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 first means fixed to said panel at the first edge of the panel and extending downwardly toward the bottom end of the panel and second, cooperating means fixed to the panel at the second edge thereof and also extending downwardly toward the bottom end of the panel;
• and
• means at the bottom end of said panel for adjusting the circumference of the leg warmer and thereby providing a snug fit between the leg warmer and a wearer's leg, thus keeping air, moisture, snow, and the like from penetrating through the bottom end of the leg warmer.

• said closure system comprising a zipper with two slides, a first row of teeth extending along the first edge of the panel, and a second row of teeth extending along the second edge of the panel, said slides being vertically and independently displaceable relative to said panel to interengage and disengage the teeth of the first and second rows so that one or both fo said slides can be so manipulated as to disengage selected segments of said rows of teeth and thereby provide a ventilation gap or gaps through which air can circulate to the leg of the wearer.
