  • Patent number: 9486095
    Abstract: A sleeping bag has an elongate shell defining a longitudinal axis and an inner volume sized and shaped to receive a user therein. The shell has a pair of fastener-less arm ports. Each of the arm ports is selectively moveable from a closed port position to an opened port position. Each of the ports has an inner panel and an outer panel. The inner panel is positioned in overlapping face-to-face engagement with the outer panel in the closed port position such that the inner and outer panels are generally in the same plane as the overlying portion. The outer panel is spaced from the inner panel in the opened port position to define a passage for allowing the user to extend their arm through the respective port.

  • Patent number: 9386814
    Abstract: An elongate shell having a longitudinal axis an inner volume sized and shaped to receive a user therein. The elongate shell has a front portion adapted to cover the front of a user during use and a back portion adapted to cover the back of the user during use. The elongate shell has a pair of arm ports. Each of the arm ports is selectively moveable from a closed port position to an opened port position for allowing the user external access from within the shell. Each of the ports comprising includes an inner panel and an outer panel. The inner panel is positioned in overlapping face-to-face engagement with the outer panel in the closed port position. The outer panel is spaced from the inner panel in the opened port position to define a passage for allowing the user to extend their arm through the respective port. The elongate shell further includes a bottom portion and an opening in the bottom portion to allow a user's feet to extend through the opening to the exterior of the inner volume.

The hood has a front portion defining an opening and a back portion. The hood includes a securing structure to couple the hood to the head of the wearer. The securing structure has a suspension connected to the hood to translate forces from movement of the head to the hood to prevent view blockage of the wearer during movement of the head.
