A storm hooded garment may include a torso portion, a storm hood and a collar. The storm hood extends from the torso portion about a neck opening of the torso portion. The storm hood has front neck portions having a first vertical stiffness and are configured to extend in front of a neck of a person wearing the storm hooded garment when the storm hood is deployed over a head of the person wearing the garment. The collar extends from the torso portion about the neck opening. The collar includes side portions directly connected to the front neck portions of the storm hood above the neck opening to vertically support the front neck portions when the storm hood is undeployed. The collar has a second vertical stiffness that is greater than the first vertical stiffness.

The technology described herein relates to a three-layer outerwear garment panel comprising an outer layer, a middle membrane layer that is water resistant, and an inner layer. A water-repellant coating such as a durable water-repellant (DWR) coating is selectively applied to the outer layer, leaving areas of the outer layer free from the water-repellant coating. When precipitation hits the garment, the water is absorbed in the non-coated portions to reveal a pattern of shapes formed by the non-coated portions.

A garment hood has flip-up brim that shields and re-directs rain and moisture. The brim is above and distanced from the hood face opening and serves as an eave to redirect the water. Water flows behind the raised brim to a gutter at the connection of the brim to the hood, and then flows to the right and left away from the face opening. Water flows forward and off the front edge of the lowered brim, and also off the right and left eave ends that are farther to the right and left than the right and left extremities of the face opening. The garment may also include an adjustable cuff with an opening larger in diameter than the lower sleeve so that a narrow region is formed between the cuff and the lower sleeve so that minimal or no sleeve forearm fabric folds during cuff closure.

Garments include one or more fluid-filled bladder chambers for providing thermal insulation to a wearer. The bladder chamber(s) may be convertible between a deflated condition and an inflated condition. The bladder chamber(s) may be integrally formed with the fabric forming the garment, e.g., with the bladder chamber(s) defined between an exterior laminated component (e.g., formed from a fabric layer and a film layer) and an interior component (e.g., including at least a film layer). The film layers are selectively fixed together, e.g., at a perimeter bond and/or one or more internal bonded regions, to form fluid-tight bladder chamber portions within the overall garment structure. The garments may be equipped with a pump (for adding air to the garment bladder chamber(s)) and/or a release system (for removing air from the garment bladder chamber(s)). In this manner, a wearer can change the garment between the deflated condition and the inflated condition.
