A multilayer fabric for selectively blocking or transmitting particular wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, such solar radiation, and far infrared (FIR) radiation. The multilayer fabric may include a microporous water vapor permeable layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths depending on the size of its pores. In some embodiments, the multilayer fabric may include a nanostructured layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths.

Provided is a biological electrode and a biological electrode-equipped wearing tool, in which a contact surface having a certain surface area is suitably brought into intimate contact with a living body, and a suitable electrical distribution is obtained. The biological electrode includes: a thin-plate-like or sheet-like wiring substrate having a lead wire portion to be connected with equipment; a plurality of electrode convex portions disposed on a surface of the wiring substrate in a state of being electrically connected with the lead wire portion; and a conductive cloth portion which is superimposed on the wiring substrate through the electrode convex portions. The conductive cloth portion is to be contacted with the surface of a living body, and electrically connected to the living body.

The present invention relates to a method and a structure for attaching nonslip members to both sides of a sock, in which nonslip members having a variety of patterns may be firmly attached to an inner side and an outer side of a sock, which need a nonslip member, using a mold, the nonslip member includes air holes to be smoothly ventilated, and a size of the nonslip member is adequately adjusted according to a thickness and an area of the mold.

A sock linking system comprising a first sock, a second sock, and a fastener is made by obtaining the first sock and the second sock, forming a fastener opening in each sock, and providing the fastener. The socks comprise material that forms a cylindrical body having a top edge defining a circular opening into an interior of the body and a fastener opening adjacent to the top edge extending through the material. The fastener comprises a center portion extending between a first end and a second end, and is configured to pass through the fastener opening of each sock. The fastener forms a closed loop when the first end is removably coupled with the second end to link the first sock to the second sock after being passed partially through each fastener opening.

An aerodynamically enhanced appendage covering includes a first portion that is not subject to significant airflow and a second portion that is positioned to engage significantly more airflow when placed on a moving body. At least a part of the second portion includes an aerodynamically enhanced area. The aerodynamically enhanced area including a first frontal zone, a second turbulence inducing zone, and a third rear zone. The frontal zone is configured to have a relatively smooth surface for inducing a relatively lesser amount of turbulence on air flowing past than the second zone. The second zone has a relatively less smooth surface and includes a plurality of turbulence-inducing features configured for creating a boundary layer for inducing turbulence in air flowing past the second zone.

Wearable item comprising a motion control system and a method of manufacturing thereof. The wearable item comprises a body-close wearable item which, when worn by a user, at least a part of the wearable item is positioned adjacent to the body of the user. The motion control system comprises at least one layer of strain-rate sensitive material configured to control motion of one or more body parts of the user.

A training tight having preconfigured compression zones with integrated knit structure patterns is provided herein. The compression zones may have differing compressive properties where zones having a higher compression force are located at the waist and thigh areas of the tight, and zones having a lower compression force are located at the knee and calf area of the tight. The integrated structure patterns modify the compressive properties of the zones in the areas where the patterns are located in order to further customize the compressive properties of the training tight.

This invention relates to a polymer composition containing at least one polymer and at least one agent, formed bodies having such a polymer composition, the use of the formed bodies and polymer compositions, and corresponding threads, nonwoven materials, clothing articles, and medical aids.
