A sports wave bag consists of an open bag formed by the overlayment and stitching of two pieces of cloth around three edges thereof. The pieces of cloth are selectively of the team colors of a sports team. At one end of the bag is a pair of handles and at the other end is an opening through which a fan may pass his head. The sports fan may be seated with his hands received in the bag and gripping the handles at the far end thereof, exposing a first color of the sports team. In executing “the wave,” the fan stands to his feet and, while doing so, lifts his arms above his head to expose the other piece of cloth of the second team color. The effect is adding vibrancy of color and color change to the motion of “the wave” when performed at sporting events.

An insulating body wrap includes a superior end with a superior opening and an inferior end with an inferior opening. A top layer including a fabric extends between the superior opening and the inferior opening and a back layer including a ripstop material extends between the superior opening and the inferior opening. Batting is provided between the top layer and the back layer and a slit extends between the inferior opening and a point intermediate the inferior and superior openings. A method for manufacturing an insulating body wrap includes forming a quilt having a superior edge, an inferior edge, a first side edge and a second side edge and attaching the first and second side edges to form a sleeve having a superior opening and an inferior opening. A slit is formed extending between the inferior opening and a point intermediate the inferior and superior openings.

A multi-functional, convertible blanket that can be used in a blanket configuration or in a wrap configuration. An insulated blanket panel retains first and second hand-receiving structures, such as insulated pockets. Each pocket has a secondary opening between an entrance and an end such that a hand can be selectively retained within the pocket or passed at least partially through the secondary opening. A connected location disposed along the secondary opening can separate the secondary opening into first and second segments for separately receiving the thumbs and fingers of the wearer. An outer wall of each pocket can be formed by first and second overlapping panels with the secondary opening comprising a passage therebetween. An integrated storage pouch with first and second shells is fixed to the blanket panel for storing articles when in a retracted configuration and for storing the blanket panel when in an extended configuration.

A modular blanket comprising of separate blanket materials of varying size and fastening mechanisms including buttons and zippers. The blanket may be comprised of traditional blanket material such as wool or cloth and be used for standard purposes of warmth or comfort. Additionally, the blanket may be comprised other material such as fiberglass, to be used for commercial or public purposes, such as the extinguishing of a fire. The fastening mechanisms including, but not limited to buttons or zippers are attached along the lateral sides of such blanket material to allow quick and easy assembly and disassembly.

A modular portable bedding system that emulates the home sleeping experience as much as possible, where users can easily remove or change different components to customize the system to optimize the sleeping experience for the environment they plan on using it in, while still allowing the user to easily transport the customized bedding system. The bedding system of the present invention may include four main components: a base shell, a sleeping pad, a sheet layer and an insulation layer, and in a more specific configuration, the bedding system of the present invention may have the base shell, the sleeping pad, a fitted sheet and a standard sheet in the sheet layer, a down quilt and synthetic quilt in the insulation layer and a top layer.

Apparatus, systems and methods related to convertible garments for multiple uses. In one illustrative embodiment, one exemplary convertible garment may include a multilayered textile body having a central opening, which can be arranged in a first conformation to serve as an insulated jacket or poncho that features a hood disposed at the central opening, and, may include hand-warming and security pockets and a yoke with a closeable recess. Such a convertible garment can be arranged in a second conformation to serve as an insulated ground cloth and reversed to serve as a protective cover or blanket. The garment may feature an attached storage pouch that is stowed in the yoke recess in the first and second conformations. In a third conformation, the garment may be folded and stowed in the storage pouch to serve as a vented cushion.

A poncho blanket assembly includes a blanket that is comprised of a thermally insulating material. The blanket is positionable over or around a user to warm the user. The blanket has a neck slot extending therethrough and the user's neck can be extended through the neck slot for wearing the blanket. Moreover, the neck slot is centrally positioned on the blanket such that the blanket covers the user's chest and the user's back when the blanket is worn. A flap is coupled to the blanket and the flap is aligned with the neck slot for covering the neck slot. A plurality of fasteners is provided and each of the fasteners is coupled to the flap. Each of the fasteners releasably engages the blanket to retain the flap over the neck slot.
