LED Light Up Socks/Pull Up/Grip for night and poor visibility for athletic purposes.

A yarn is produced by twisting an organic yarn and a synthetic yarn. The organic and synthetic yarns and twisting processes thereof may be selected to produce a twisted yarn with enhanced performance characteristics such as moisture management, abrasion resistance, and refit. The twisted yarn may be knitted into articles of clothing such as socks.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.

A pair of socks is provided. The first sock defines a first toe end and a first upper end. The first sock includes an elastically deformable first aperture formed through the first sock proximate the first upper end. The second sock defines a second toe end and a second upper end. The second sock includes an elastically deformable second aperture formed through the second sock proximate the second upper end. When the first toe end of the first sock is drawn through the second aperture of the second sock and the second toe end of the second sock is drawn through the first aperture of the first sock the first and second socks are secured together.

In order to provide an article of leg apparel, in particular a stocking, which is suitable for reducing the risk of injury to the wearer of the leg apparel, particularly during sports activities and to achieve compensation of possible functional imbalances in the musculoskeletal system of the wearer, it is proposed that the leg apparel includes at least one compression region in which, in the worn state, the leg apparel exerts a compression effect on the leg of the wearer of the leg apparel, and includes at least one stimulus-inducing structure which, in the worn state, is arranged on an inside of the leg apparel facing toward the leg of the wearer of the leg apparel.

A hip pad is provided for decreasing a waist-to-hip ratio of a user and includes a generally elongated body having a hip portion and a thigh portion that are integrally formed with the generally elongated body. The hip pad also includes an interior surface of the hip portion that is contoured to an anatomical curvature of a hip region of the user. An interior surface of the thigh portion is contoured to the anatomical curvature of a thigh region of the user. A curved exterior surface of the hip portion is configured to decrease the waist-to-hip ratio of the user.

A top band (1, 1′) for garments (2), in particular for medical compression stockings or bandages, comprising a flexible basic body (3, 3′) with an inside (4, 4′) facing the garment (2) and an outside (5, 5′), wherein the flexible basic body (3, 3′) comprises a fastening section (7, 7′) for the garment (2) on the inside (4, 4′) next to a coupling section (6, 6′), and wherein the fastening section (7, 7′) is formed by an edge-side recess (8, 8′) in the flexible basic body (3, 3′), so that the garment (2) can be fastened, offset from the coupling section (6, 6′) of the flexible basic body (3, 3′), in the recess (8, 8′).

Textile compositions comprising at least one filamentous fungus are disclosed, as are methods for making and using such textile compositions. Embodiments of the textile compositions generally include at least one of a plasticizer, a polymer, and a crosslinker, in addition to the filamentous fungus. The disclosed textile compositions are particularly useful as analogs or substitutes for conventional textile compositions, including but not limited to leather.
