Aspects herein provide for a support garment having a vibration damping structure that is positioned between the breast contacting surfaces of the support garment. The vibration damping structure has a shape and/or material characteristics that enable it to substantially fill the space defined by a medial aspect of the wearer's breasts and the wearer's sternum. This positioning and placement facilitate the damping structure's ability to absorb and dissipate impact forces generated at least through the medial-to-lateral movement of the wearer's breasts during, for example, athletic activities.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment and/or has one or more sections of waterproof or water-resilient fabric. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.

Disclosed is a training swimwear garment which include a base layer suitable to cover at least a portion of the upper torso of a wearer, the base layer having an abdomen region, a shoulder region, and a back region, and the base layer includes compressive and non-compressive fabric. The training swimwear includes a plurality of elastic straps spanning from an anterior of the shoulder region to the back region, configured to provide tension to produce a desired shoulder posture of the wearer. The training swimwear includes a plurality of panels connected with the base layer, the panels including an abdomen panel covering the abdomen region, and a back panel covering the back region, and the panels are configured to be buoyant to produce a desired body posture of the wearer.

A garment with insulated liner including a short pant attached to an insulated undergarment. The insulated undergarment is adapted to cover and fit closely to the body of a wearer to preserve an elevated temperature of the body of the wearer under the insulated undergarment. A pair of front seams are provided to secure the short pant to the insulated garment. The front seams extend from a waist area through a pelvic area to a crotch area to prevent the insulated undergarment from drastically shifting in turbulent water.

The disclosure relates generally to compression garments. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a compression fabric garment with storage compartments. In yet another embodiment, the disclosure relates to a garment with a front having a double layer of compression fabric and a storage compartment. The disclosure also relates to methods of assembling and using a double layer compression fabric garment with storage compartments.

There is provided swimwear which satisfies the stretchability, strength, ease of movement, and the like desired for swimwear, has superior water repellency, and reduces friction resistance between a surface of the swimwear and water. The woven fabric for swimwear according to the present invention has a weave structure in which covering coated threads are arranged in at least a part of a warp or weft yarn, the covering coated threads each including an elastic fiber as a core yarn and a synthetic fiber filament as a sheath yarn, where, in a woven fabric structure, one of the warp yarn and the weft yarn has a larger number of float yarns. A direction with a large number of float yarns is defined as a body length (height) direction of the swimwear, a ratio of resistance yarn in a direction perpendicular to the body length (height) direction is 40% or less. The woven fabric is suitably used for swimwear.
