A garment for boosting circulation in areas of a user's body corresponding to the user's joints, having at least one fabric member of a size for at least partly covering at least one part of the user's body that includes at least one joint area lying over at least one joint of the user, and at least

A garment for boosting circulation in areas of a user's body corresponding to the user's joints, having at least one fabric member of a size for at least partly covering at least one part of the user's body that includes at least one joint area lying over at least one joint of the user, and at least one muscle area lying over at least one muscle of the user, the fabric member being at least one of dimensioned and structured so as not to compress the part of the user's body covered by the fabric member, the fabric member having a heat insulating property at each joint area to be covered and a heat transmitting property at each muscle area to be covered, so that when the garment is worn, each joint area stays warmer than each muscle area to boost circulation in each joint area.

The garment of claim 1, wherein the at least one fabric member includes at least one base layer of heat transmitting material that is adapted to extend over the at least one joint area and the at least one muscle area, and at least one insulating layer of heat insulating material fixed to the at least one base layer and adapted to extend only over the at least one joint area, the heat transmitting material and the heat insulating material not adapted to compress parts of the user's body covered by the at least one fabric member, and wherein the heat transmitting material consists of at least one material selected from the group of nylon, polyurethane, polyester, cotton and wool, and the heat insulating material consists of at least one material selected from the group of micro acrylic yarn, micro acrylic yarn blended with any other material, and acrylic. 3. The garment of claim 1, wherein the at least one fabric member includes at least one base layer of heat transmitting material that is adapted to extend over the at least one joint area and the at least one muscle area, and at least one insulating layer of heat insulating material fixed to an inside surface of the at least one base layer and adapted to extend only over the at least one joint area, the heat transmitting material and the heat insulating material both being flexible so as not to compress parts of the user's body covered by the at least one fabric member when worn. 4. The garment of claim 1, wherein the at least one fabric member includes at least one base layer of heat transmitting material that is adapted to extend over the at least one joint area and the at least one muscle area, and at least one insulating layer of heat insulating material fixed to an inside surface of the at least one base layer and adapted to extend only over the at least one joint area. 5. The garment of claim 1, wherein the garment is a top, defines a garment neck opening and two arm openings, and includes a shoulder portion of heat insulating material adapted to extend down a front of the top on both sides of the user's neck by 1/12th to ⅓rd of the total vertical length of the top, shoulder portion angling down toward a lower edge of the garment on either side of the garment neck opening and toward each of the two arm openings. 6. The garment of claim 1, wherein the garment is a top, defines a garment neck opening and two arm openings, and includes an upper shoulder portion of heat insulating material adapted to extend down the back of the garment top on both sides of the user's neck by ⅛th to ⅓rd of the total vertical length of the garment, the back part of upper shoulder portion angling down toward a lower edge of the garment along on either side of the garment neck opening and toward each of the two arm openings. 7. The garment of claim 1, wherein the garment is a top, the at least one fabric member including at least one base layer of heat transmitting material that is adapted to extend over the at least one joint area and the at least one muscle area, and at least one insulating layer of heat insulating material fixed to the at least one base layer and adapted to extend only over the at least one joint area, the at least one insulating layer having a back fabric portion including a spinal column portion that extends centrally between upper and lower portions of the at least one insulating layer and that adapted to cover the user's spinal column and has a width of ⅙th to 1/10th of the total width of the garment top, at a location between upper and lower portions of the at least one insulating layer. 8. A garment for boosting circulation in areas of a user's body corresponding to the user's joints, comprising: at least one fabric member of a size configured to at least partly cover at least one part of the user's body that includes at least one joint area lying over at least one joint of the user, and at least one muscle area lying over at least one muscle of the user, the at least one fabric member being configured so as not to compress the part of the user's body covered by the at least one fabric member when worn;the at least one fabric member having a heat insulating property at the at least one joint area to be covered and a heat transmitting property at the at least one muscle area to be covered, so that when the garment is worn, each joint area stays warmer than each muscle area to boost circulation in each joint area, wherein the garment is a top and includes a waist portion of heat insulating material extending up a front of the top from a lower edge thereof by 1/12th to ⅕th of the total vertical length of the top, on either side of a front of the garment, at an angle of 20 to 70 degrees to the horizontal, the heat insulating material covering the shoulders, the elbows, the wrists, the outer arms, the sides and back of the waist, the spinal column, the neck, the ears, the cranium and the back of the head, leaving uncovered, the sides and tummy area of the thorax, the inner arms on both sides of the elbows, and the sides of the head below the cranium and above the neck, when the garment is being worn by the user.
