  • Patent number: 9301553
    Abstract: A composite leg-covering garment comprising exterior fabric and interior insulative fabric. Opposed peripheral edges can be fastened to form a tubular configuration wrapping tightly around the leg to provide the look of tights, the warmth of leggings and, yet, the ease of donning and removal of breakaway pants. The opposed edges are joinable by a single zipper running either the entire length or substantially the entire length of the garment. Preferably an elastic thigh cuff is located along the upper edge of the garment and an elastic ankle cuff provided at the bottom. Alternatively, two zippers are provided, one from the ankle up to almost the thigh cuff and the other from the thigh cuff down, the zippers being on opposite sides of the garment. The extension of the two zippers overlaps along the length of the garment. The leg-coverings can attach to a pair of shorts.
