Abstract
Abstract A padded garment covering at least a portion of a body part including gloves, mittens, boots, pants, sweaters and other wearing apparel. A garment panel for forming an outer surface of the garment includes at least first and second panel members. Each of the first and second panel members includes a panel section and a seam tolerance section. Each panel section and seam tolerance section is separated by a seam location. Padding protects at least a portion of a body part. A chamber member is coupled to the first and second panel members at their respective seam locations to create a chamber for containing the padding positioned proximate to the outer surface of the garment. A coupling, such as sewn seam or heat sealed seam is used to join the chamber member and the seam locations of the first and second panel members. The chamber member is joined to the garment panel between the seam locations of the first and second panel members.
