1. A protective outer sports garment comprising:an area on said sports garment with a heat insulation layer to reduce body heat from passing therethrough; a flexible non-powered liquid crystal thermometer connected on an exterior side of the sports garment over the heat insulation material and positioned to be viewed by the wearer; said liquid crystal thermometer being in thermal connection to the ambient exterior over the heat insulation material for providing temperature indication of the ambient exterior with insignificant thermal loads registering from said wearer; said garment being fishing waders and having a waterproof layer below said heat insulation material; said liquid crystal thermometer registering temperatures of ambient liquid water and being waterproof for submersion in ambient water when said waders are in said ambient water. 2. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 1 further comprising:said liquid crystal thermometer being encased in a clear plastic housing of which a portion of the plastic housing under the liquid crystal thermometer being said heat insulation layer. 3. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 2 further comprising:said clear plastic material having an upper portion forming a recess window through which liquid crystal thermometer is viewed; said recess window being shaped to receive a replacement liquid crystal thermometer. 4. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 3 further comprising:a replacement liquid crystal thermometer element encased in a clear plastic second housing shaped to be received and adhered to the recess window. 5. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 3 further comprising:said lower surface of said clear plastic housing being adhered onto said outer sports garment by a waterproof adhesive material. 6. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 1 further comprising:a housing member having a lower surface with an adhesive bond for attachment to said garment; said liquid crystal thermometer having a thermometric element encased in a secondary housing; said secondary housing adhered to an upper surface of said housing member with an adhesive bond that is weaker than the adhesive bond of the housing member to the garment. 7. A fisherman's waders comprising:a thermometer device adhered onto a leg section of said waders for submersion into fishing water and registering the ambient temperature of said fishing water; said thermometer device being positioned to be directly viewable by a wearer of said waders; said thermometer device being a flexible liquid crystal thermometer attached onto one of an upper leg section or lower leg section of said waders; and a heat insulation layer under the flexible liquid crystal thermometer. 8. A sports thermometer for attachment to an outdoor sports garment comprising:a flexible liquid crystal thermometer encased in clear plastic housing for being water proof; an adhesive backing for adhering said liquid crystal thermometer onto the exterior of an outdoor sports garment; and a heat insulation layer between the adhesive and the liquid crystal thermometer. 9. A protective outer sports garment comprising:a waterproof layer; an area on said sports garment with a heat insulation layer adjacent the waterproof of layer to reduce body heat from passing therethrough; flexible non-powered crystal thermometer connected on an exterior side of the sports garment over the heat insulation material and positioned to be viewed by the wearer; said liquid crystal thermometer being in thermal connection to the ambient exterior over the heat insulation material for providing temperature indication of the ambient exterior with insignificant thermal loads registering from said wearer. 10. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 9 further comprising:said liquid crystal thermometer being encased in a clear plastic housing of which a portion of the plastic housing under the liquid crystal thermometer being said heat insulation layer. 11. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 10 further comprising:said clear plastic material having an upper portion forming a recess window through which liquid crystal thermometer is viewed; said recess window being shaped to receive a replacement liquid crystal thermometer. 12. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 11 further comprising:a replacement liquid crystal thermometer element encased in a clear plastic second housing shaped to be received and adhered to the recess window. 13. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 11 further comprising:said lower surface of said clear plastic housing being adhered onto said outer sports garment by a waterproof adhesive material. 14. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 9 further comprising:a housing member having a lower surface with an adhesive bond for attachment to said garment; said liquid crystal thermometer having a thermometric element encased in a secondary housing; said secondary housing adhered to an upper surface of said housing member with an adhesive bond that is weaker than the adhesive bond of the housing member to the garment. 15. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 9 further comprising:said garment being a winter outdoor weather protective garment; said liquid crystal thermometer registering temperature below freezing on winter sports garments which has built-in heat insulation material. 16. A protective outer sports garment comprising:an area on said sports garment with a heat insulation layer to reduce body heat from passing therethrough; a flexible non-powered liquid crystal thermometer connected on an exterior side of the sports garment over the heat insulation material and positioned to be viewed by the wearer; said liquid crystal thermometer being in thermal connection to the ambient exterior over the heat insulation material for providing temperature indication of the ambient exterior with insignificant thermal loads registering from said wearer. 17. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 16 further comprising:said liquid crystal thermometer being encased in a clear plastic housing of which a portion of the plastic housing under the liquid crystal thermometer being said heat insulation layer. 18. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 17 further comprising:said clear plastic material having an upper portion forming a recess window through which liquid crystal thermometer is viewed; said recess window being shaped to receive a replacement liquid crystal thermometer. 19. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 18 further comprising:a replacement liquid crystal thermometer element encased in a clear plastic second housing shaped to be received and adhered to the recess window. 20. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 18 further comprising:said lower surface of said clear plastic housing being adhered onto said outer sports garment by a waterproof adhesive material. 21. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 16 further comprising:a housing member having a lower surface with an adhesive bond for attachment to said garment; said liquid crystal thermometer having a thermometric element encased in a secondary housing; said secondary housing adhered to an upper surface of said housing member with an adhesive bond that is weaker than the adhesive bond of the housing member to the garment. 22. A protective outer sports garment as defined in claim 16 further comprising:said garment being a window outdoor weather protective garment; said liquid crystal thermometer registering temperature below freezing on winter sports garments which has built-in heat insulation material.
