ABSTRACT:
A device for retaining warmth in the arm of a wearer while enabling substantially unrestricted movement is described. The device includes a tubular elastic sleeve for encirclingly covering an arm and shoulder of a wearer, which terminates in a first generally circular open end for positioning proximate the wearer's shoulder. The device has a first section for covering the underside of a wearer's arm and the front side of a wearer's arm and shoulder and a second section for covering the outer side of a wearer's arm and shoulder, with the first section terminating in a substantially U-shaped edge for conforming to the shape of a wearer's armpit. The device includes an elastic strap member which extends outwardly from the sleeve to form an elongate loop for securing the device to a wearer's body. The elastic strap is desirably lubricated to reduce friction between it and a wearer's body. In use, the sleeve is positioned over the wearer's arm to be warmed, the strap is positioned so that it extends across the back of the wearer's upper torso, and around the front of the wearer's opposite arm. The straps are preferably criss-crossed as they are passed over the wearer's back, to form an X-shaped configuration across the wearer's back. The device is designed to provide and retain warmth in the wearer's arm and shoulder without restricting wearer movements, such that the device can be worn throughout participation in athletic activities. The device may also include a second sleeve for encircling the second arm of the wearer as well.
