The undergarment may include a multi-panel front construction in order to minimize the prominence of breast buds, nipples, and even mature breast tissue without sports bra-like compression. The garments are uniquely designed to maximize comfort with their super-soft external material and to maximize self-esteem with their unique inner front panel. The interior front panel is constructed from a different material than the external layers.

A sportswear garment comprising means for adjustably compressing at least one major vein in a user's limb such that blood flow through the at least one major vein is restricted.

According to the various features, characteristics and embodiments of the present invention which will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds, the present invention provides reusable grip enhancing tubular members for the arm area, in particular sports sleeves for the arm and forearm, and reusable grip enhancing tubular members for the hand, in particular sports finger cots for the hand, and the uses thereof, and methods thereof, intended to increase the performance in arm and/or hand task activities.

Aspects herein provide for an apparel item having an integrated parachute structure and a set of intake ducts. The parachute structure is configured to transition from a first slack state to a second inflated state subsequent to air entering the set of intake ducts incident to ground locomotion of the wearer thereby increasing air resistance to wearer movement.

An article of apparel including an integrated fabric system, with or without strategically-placed weighting and/or elastic resistant materials, which optimizes conditioning, strengthening, endurance, enhancement, training, performance, functional longevity, benefits of daily activity, movement therapy, and/or other diverse medical and/or therapeutic uses, and, all while reducing the possibility of injury. The article enables the user to receive medical and/or therapeutic benefits and to increase production of kinetic energy, through weighted and/or elastic resistance, as required by the user's particularized needs. The user may benefit from the medical/therapeutic properties during periods of activity or inactivity. Benefits are achieved through the integration of fabrics and strategically-placed weighting and/or elastic resistance materials into the article based upon the kinetic energy created, necessitated, and/or dissipated by a specific movement(s) and/or medical or therapeutic requirements.

A mask includes a housing defining (1) an inner layer, an outer layer, and a volume in between, (2) a mouth aperture to be disposed about a mouth of a user, (3) a side aperture to allow fluid flow into and out of the housing, (4) an oral fluid pathway extending from the mouth aperture to the side aperture, and (5) a nasal aperture to be disposed adjacent to nostrils of the user. The mask also includes a nasal channel extending from the nasal aperture and to a nasal exit aperture. The housing is configured to route (1) fluid flow received at the mouth aperture distally through the oral fluid pathway, and (2) fluid flow received at the side aperture proximally through the oral fluid pathway. The nasal channel is configured to route fluid flow received at the nasal aperture distally through the nasal fluid pathway.
