Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus to cover at least one person, comprising:
 a pouch formed of a first material and sized to receive a pair of splayed feet of the person, comprising:
 a back portion; 
 a front portion opposite the back portion; 
 opposing side portions coupled to and extending between the front portion and the back portion; and 
 a bottom portion coupled to the back portion, the front portion and opposing side portions, 
 wherein the front portion, back portion and opposing side portions are of a substantially common height, the opposing side portions are of a substantially common side width, the back is of a back width, and the front is of a front width greater than the back width; and 
   a cover formed of a second material and including a cover bottom edge portion coupled to the front, the cover extending upward from the front portion to a cover top sized to splay to opposite sides, beyond the extent of a distance between the opposing side portions.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cover bottom edge portion is coupled to the opposing side portions. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the cover bottom edge portion is coupled to at least a portion of the back portion of the pouch. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the cover is formed of a rectangular piece of material. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , comprising one or more fasteners disposed on a top portion of the pouch, the one or more fasteners configured to couple together to close an opening of the pouch defined by the front portion, the back portion, and the opposing side portions. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , comprising a liner coupled to an interior of the pouch. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the pouch is formed of a pouch material, and the cover is formed of a cover material, other than the pouch material, and the liner is formed of a liner material, other than the pouch material and the cover material. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the pouch includes an interior dividing material, disposed between the opposing side portions. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein an exterior of the pouch is water resistant. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is coupled to the pouch with a zipper. 
     
     
         11 . An apparatus to cover at least one person, comprising:
 a pouch formed of a first material and sized to receive a pair of splayed feet of the person, comprising:
 a back portion; 
 a front portion opposite the back portion; 
 opposing side portions coupled to and extending between the front portion and the back portion; and 
 a bottom portion coupled to the back portion, the front portion and the opposing side portions, 
 wherein the front portion, back portion and opposing side portions are of a substantially common height, the opposing side portions are of a substantially common side width, the back is of a back width, and the front is of a front width greater than the back width; and 
   a cover formed of a second material and including a cover bottom edge portion coupled to at least the front portion.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , comprising a strap, with one side of the strap coupled to a top portion of a first side of the opposing side portions, and with a second side coupled to a top portion of a second side of the opposing side portions. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein an interior of the pouch is sized to house the cover while the cover is in a loose and bundled state. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the strap includes removable fasteners configured to repeatedly couple with the pouch. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus to cover at least one person, comprising:
 a pouch formed of a first material and sized to receive a pair of feet of the person, comprising:
 a back portion; 
 a front portion opposite the back portion; 
 opposing side portions coupled to and extending between the front portion and the back portion; and 
 a bottom portion coupled to the back portion, the front portion and the opposing side portions; and 
   a cover formed of a second material and including a cover bottom edge portion coupled to the front, and at least a portion of the side portions, the cover extending upward from the front portion to a cover top sized to splay to opposite sides, beyond the extent of a distance between the opposing side portions.   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the cover is formed of a rectangular piece of material. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the front portion, the opposing side portions, and at least a part of the back portion are formed of a single piece of fabric, joined at a seam to a front panel and to the bottom portion. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the bottom portion is substantially planar, and the opposing side portions curve, as they extend away from the bottom portion, to substantially perpendicular with the bottom portion. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , wherein the front portion curves, as it extends away from the bottom portion, to substantially perpendicular with the bottom portion. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , wherein the front portion curves, as it extends away from the bottom portion, to substantially perpendicular with the bottom portion.
