A body garment having utility as a handwarmer, as a fanny pack and as a carrier of elongated articles such as skis and the like, comprising;
- an elongated, heat insulating, tubular cloth member, said tubular member having a central axis, said tubular member being of relatively long axial length and of generally uniform diameter along the axial length thereof, said tubular member having two oppositely disposed and generally circular open ends, and said tubular member having an internal handwarmer chamber located intermediate said two open ends, a top external surface, and a front external surface,
- a moisture wicking cloth lining said handwarmer chamber,
- a first elongated zipper located generally on the top surface of said tubular member and extending generally parallel to said central axis, said first zipper, when open, providing access to said handwarmer chamber,
- an open-mesh cloth bag/pocket adapted to hold a heat source within said handwarmer chamber, said mesh bag having an open top, and said mesh bag being fastened within said handwarmer chamber so as to position the open top of said mesh bag for access when said first zipper is open,
- a pair of elongated tubular cuffs of heat insulating cloth, said cuffs being joined to said tubular member with one cuff attached to each of said two open ends of said tubular member, said cuffs each having a central axis located substantially coincident with the central axis of said tubular member, said cuffs being of relatively short axial length and of generally uniform diameter along the axial length thereof, and said cuffs defining two oppositely disposed generally circular open ends, wherein said tubular member and said pair of cuffs being of sufficient size to receive a portion of a pair of skis,
- a pair of cord-guide chambers, one of said cord-guide chambers encircling the central axes of one of said cuffs at the open end thereof,
- a pair of flexible, elongated, cords located with one cord within each of said cord-guide chambers, each of said cords having a first and a second end, said first end of each cord being attached to one of said cuffs and extending through a cord-guide chamber thereof such that a portion of said cord extends outside of the cuff as the second end of the cord exits a cord-guide chamber adjacent to attachment of said first cord end to a cuff,
- a pair of lock members, each of which is slideably located on an extending portion of one of said cords, movement of said lock members along said extending cord portion serving to control the physical size of the generally circular open ends of said cuffs,
- an adjustable length belt having first and second spaced attachment portions, the first attachment portion of said belt being attached to said top surface of said tubular member adjacent one open end thereof and the second attachment portion of said belt being attached to said top surface of said tubular member adjacent the other open end thereof, and
- manually operable coupling means within the adjustable length of said belt enabling said belt for alternate encirclement of the waist of an individual, for positioning of said body garment to the front or to the rear of the individual, or for shoulder support of said body garment by the individual.
