Silk performance apparel and methods of preparing the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, silk performance apparel includes textiles, fabrics, consumer products, and other materials that are coated with aqueous solutions of pure silk fibroin-based protein fragments. In some embodiments, coated apparel products exhibit surprisingly improved moisture management properties and increased resistance to microbial growth.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include an apparel device, including an apparel body including an outer layer and an inner layer, and an interior configured to receive a body part of a user. Embodiments may also include a heat transfer panel disposed between the outer layer and the inner layer. In some embodiments, the heat transfer panel includes a first side and a second side, the first side disposed adjacent the interior of the apparel body. Embodiments may also include a compressed fluid source in fluid communication with the second side of the heat transfer panel. In some embodiments, the compressed fluid source may be configured to selectively deliver compressed fluid to the heat transfer panel. In some embodiments, the heat transfer panel may be configured to cool the interior of the apparel body upon delivery of the compressed fluid to the heat transfer panel.

Athletic garments having thermogenic, non-slip interior lining at selected locations to provide structural support, provide a thermogenic effect to the user, and to render the garment non-slipping. The garments may be leggings, shirts, shorts, bras or other garments and may be manufactured of nylon with lycra or other materials, with the lining manufactured of silicone, rubber, latex or plastic.

A system for use in personal fitness can include: an article of clothing configured to be worn by a user during a personal fitness session, the article of clothing having a fabric layer and at least one weighted portion formed by either or both polyurethane (PU) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) printed on the fabric layer; an electronic device having a processor; and a communication unit integrated with the article of clothing and configured to interact with the electronic device, wherein the communication unit includes a near field communication (NFC) device or a QR code, and further wherein the processor is configured to launch a personal fitness application responsive to the user interacting with the NFC device or QR code.

Disclosed is a garment, particularly a sports garment, including at least two pieces of fabric assembled to each other by a first weak seam arranged so as to give in the event of traction applied to one of the pieces of fabric so as to allow the separation of the pieces. The at least two pieces of fabric are also assembled by at least one second seam, called a strong seam, which is more solid than the first seam and arranged so as not to give in the event of traction applied to one of the pieces of fabric, and so as to become completely undone by pulling on one of the threads forming the seam so that it no longer joins the at least two pieces of fabric.

A textile laminate includes a first side, a second side, and a plurality of spaced apart marks formed on the first side. The plurality of marks formed on the first side impart a roughened, uneven surface along the second side that corresponds with the first side, and a surface roughness of the second side varies based upon a degree of stretch applied to the textile laminate.

An improvement in the field of fabrics, wherein the fabrics provide improvements such as weighted regions (20) and grip locations (40). Currently, wearable weights are very limited in many ways such as, but not limited to, placement of the weights, fit of wearable weight to the user's body, sustained placement of the wearable weight during athletic use. The fabric (10) provides a solution to this problem by allowing the integrating the weights and other features into the material of any article of clothing or similar fabric object. The fabric (10) affords the user the comfort, flexible and other advantages typical of athletic clothing along with added benefits of weight training. Further, the grip locations (40) provide surface friction for athletic applications such as, but not limited to, fitness workouts and yoga. The principal use of the fabric (10) is as an article of clothing.
