A clothing part configured to surround a human body to protect the human body; and an accommodation part connected to the clothing part and configured to provide an accommodation space which is a predetermined space in which a predetermined object is received, wherein the accommodation part may form one surface together with the clothing part as an accommodation coupling part which is a part of the accommodation part is coupled to a clothing coupling part which is a part of the clothing part in a storing portion, and may provide the accommodation space which is a space in which a predetermined object is received, together with the clothing part as the accommodation coupling part and the clothing coupling part are separated from each other and thus a portion of the clothing part and a portion of the accommodation part are spaced apart from each other in an accommodation position.

A sports garment includes a textile forming two or more compression zones. The compression zones include a motion-supporting compression zone configured to apply a first compressive force to a first area of a body and a body-shaping compression zone configured to apply a second compressive force to a second area of the body. The first compressive force supports a motion of the first area of the body. The second compressive force shapes the second area of the body.

The invention relates to introducing a bendable frame for viral protection and surgical face masks to help protect, soothe and circulate blood of irritated skin affected from wearing face masks for a long time specially during the time of a pandemic such as COVID-19, introducing flexible sticky tapes which help in moisturizing and massaging skin that is in contact with the face mask and also contains attachment socket for adding helpful attachments for the area under the face mask such small fan attachment to help dry skin from sweat without having to take off the face mask, light therapy attachment to help prevent acne or irritation and extra sockets for any further customized attachments.

An apparatus including a first surface configured to attach the apparatus to a second surface of another object, and a plurality of elongated nanofibers. Each nanofiber has one end connected to the first surface and an opposite end extending away from the first surface. The plurality of elongated nanofibers is configured to adhere to the second surface by nanoadhesion when brought into contact with the second surface.

A low drag garment is made from a fabric having a textured region with a texture height H, wherein the texture height H increases substantially continuously with the surface angle θ in said textured region. Optionally, the substantially continuous increase in texture height H comprises a plurality of incremental increases in texture height, and wherein each incremental increase in texture height is less than 200 μm.

A garment including a plurality of attached glove members having releasably attached glove bodies is provided. The garment includes a central portion and two opposed sleeve portions. Each attached glove member is attached to each opposed sleeve portion through the use of a retainer. The glove members may be used separately or together, allowing the user to deploy a combination of glove members simultaneously.

Articles of apparel include: (a) a garment structure having one or more fabric elements structured and arranged to provide a close fit to at least one predetermined portion of a body (e.g., area(s) of the body for which enhanced position sensing and/or feedback are desired); and (b) a body position feedback system engaged with or integrally formed as part of the garment structure. The body position feedback system may apply higher tensile or constricting (compressive) forces to selected portions of the wearer's body and/or stretch resistance, which can help stimulate or interact with nerves and deep tissue receptors located in various portions of the body. The increased forces at selected locations of the body give the wearer sensory feedback regarding the position or orientation of these parts of the body and can improve or accelerate development of “muscle memory.”

A smart mask includes a main body having a back frame and a front cover. The back frame and the front cover each include an opening that is aligned with the mask wearer's mouth when worn. The front cover and back frame may be detachable from one another, or a single piece. A microphone is provided in the main body, as well as a speaker. A processor located in the main body is connected to the microphone and the speaker, and is configured to enhance the speech of the mask wearer. In particular, the processor receives audio signals representing a transformation of a spoken utterance of the wearer, processes the audio signals to enhance the speech, and then outputs the enhanced speech to the speaker. This helps other people better understand what the mask wearer is saying.
