Abstract

A wader suit system, including a personal flotation device (PFD), that helps to maintain body temperature of a wearer in extreme conditions is disclosed. The wader suit system includes a heated jacket system having an upper liner. The upper liner connects beneath the heated jacket system. The upper liner includes a first micro-wire. The heated jacket system includes a control panel. The wader suit system further includes a lower section having a chest portion and legs. The lower section encompasses a lower liner having a second micro-wire. The second micro-wire connects to the control panel. The heated jacket system connects over the lower section. Alternatively, the heated jacket system connects beneath the lower section. The control panel allows the wearer to control the temperature of said first micro-wire and said second micro-wire for maintaining body temperature of the wearer in the extreme conditions such as in water and freezing conditions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wader suit system for maintaining body temperature of a wearer in extreme conditions, comprising:

         2 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said lower section connects beneath said heated jacket system. 
     
     
         3 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said heated jacket system connects beneath said lower section. 
     
     
         4 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said heated jacket system comprises gloves, each glove comprises a glove liner having a glove micro-wire that connects to said control panel, and wherein the control panel allows the wearer to control the temperature of said gloves. 
     
     
         5 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said heated jacket system comprises a heated hood, wherein said heated hood comprises a heated hood liner having a hood micro-wire that connects to said control panel, and wherein the control panel allows the wearer to control the temperature of said heated hood. 
     
     
         6 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said heated jacket system comprises a pant having a pant liner, said pant liner comprises a pant micro-wire that connects to said control panel, wherein said pant connects beneath said lower section, and wherein the control panel allows the wearer to control the temperature of said pant. 
     
     
         7 . The wader suit system of  claim 6 , wherein said pant connects to socks, each sock having a sock micro-wire, and wherein the control panel allows the wearer to control the temperature of said socks. 
     
     
         8 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said lower section is a wader, that wader comprising a fixed or movable personal flotation device. 
     
     
         9 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said personal floatation device fixedly attaches to said wader suit system. 
     
     
         10 . The wader suit system of  claim 1 , wherein said personal floatation device removably attaches to said wader suit system. 
     
     
         11 . A method of providing a wader suit system for maintaining body temperature of a wearer in extreme conditions, the method comprising steps of:
 providing a heated jacket system having an upper liner, said upper liner connecting beneath said upper section;   connecting a first micro-wire to said upper liner comprising;   providing a control panel on said upper section;   providing a lower section comprising a chest portion and legs;   connecting a lower liner having a second micro-wire to said lower section comprises;   connecting said control panel to said second micro-wire;   connecting said upper section to said lower section; and   operating said control panel for controlling the temperature of said first micro-wire and said second micro-wire for maintaining body temperature of the wearer in extreme conditions.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising connecting said lower section beneath said upper section. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising connecting said upper section beneath said lower section. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising connecting said heated jacket system to gloves, each of said gloves comprising a glove liner having glove micro-wire that connects to said control panel; and
 operating said control panel for controlling the temperature of said gloves.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 connecting said heated jacket system to a heated hood;   providing a heated hood liner having a hood micro-wire within said heated hood;   connecting said hood micro-wire to said control panel; and   operating said control panel for controlling the temperature of said heated hood.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 connecting said heated jacket system to a pant having a pant liner, said pant liner comprising a pant micro-wire;   connecting said pant beneath said lower section;   connecting said pant micro-wire to said control panel; and   operating said control panel for controlling the temperature of said pant.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 connecting said pant to socks, each sock having a sock micro-wire; and   operating said control panel for controlling the temperature of said socks.   
     
     
         17 . A wader suit system for maintaining body temperature of a wearer in extreme conditions, comprising:
