A face-gaiter mask (10; 100) includes a top seal (14; 100B), a front filter section (10A; 100A), a rear section (100D) and a neck seal (10B; 100C). In use, the front filter section (10A, 100A) is located to the front of the user's face and is configured to cover at least the user's nostrils and the user's mouth. The front filter section (10A, 100A) includes at least two fabric layers (10; 120, 120A, 120B), wherein the at least two fabric layers are configured to provide a predetermined level of filtration and resistance to airflow through the filter section (10A; 100A). The top seal (14; 100B) includes a nose detail (12), which extends from an upper edge of the front filter section (10B; 100B) and extends at least partway into the front filter section (10B; 10 100B). The neck seal (10B; 100C) includes draping fabric, which extends from the front filter section (10B; 100B), the top seal (14; 100B) and a lower edge (17; 23; 117; 123) of the neck seal (10B; 100C). The front section fabric drapes loosely in random folds, which in use provide a fluid configuration and fluid surface area upon which exhaled aerosols and particles can be trapped.

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 personal entertainment respiratory apparatus provides air to a user to provide a fully immersive entertainment experience. The personal entertainment system may comprise a flow generator for providing the flow of air. A personal spatial respiratory interface may be coupled to the flow generator. The personal spatial respiratory interface may comprise an outlet for the flow generator. The personal spatial respiratory interface may further be configured to direct the flow of air within an ambient breathing proximity of a user. The personal entertainment respiratory apparatus may further comprise a controller and a sensory particle dispenser. The controller and sensory particle dispenser may be configured to selectively activate release of a sensory particle from the dispenser into the directed flow of air in response to an entertainment triggering signal.

A textile barrier apparatus includes an inner layer comprising an aqueous super absorbent polymer composition (SAP) and first and second outer textile layers attached to opposite sides of the inner layer. A landfill version includes an odor neutralizer, a biocide and/or a nutrient to support vegetation. A fire barrier version has the first and second outer textile layers including water permeable membrane and a fire retardant treatment. A planting groundcover version includes a patterned thickness of SAP corresponding to a planting pattern and a nutrient to support vegetation.

A multipurpose customizable garment designed to be transformed from the form of arm-wear into other types of garments. Specifically, the multipurpose customizable garment can be converted from a top to bustier, dress by selective use of detachable sleeves and selective use of a plurality of fasteners enabling the wearer to vary the size and appearance of the garment.

Disclosed is a scarf including first and second fabric panels, each panel having a lower portion defined by a bottom edge and side edges, each panel having two upper extensions extending from the lower portion, each upper extension defined by a top edge and curved sloping sides. The panels are secured to one another along the bottom edges and along the side edges. The top edges of the first panel are secured to one another to form a first panel seam having a top side and a bottom side. The top edges of the second panel are secured to one another to form a second panel seam having a top side and a bottom side. When the bottom side of the second panel seam is matched to the bottom side of the first panel seam, each panel folds and the folded second panel is in concave alignment with the folded first panel. The securing of the panels along the bottom edges and along the side edges forms a bag. The securing of the first panel top edges to one another forms a first handle and the securing of the second panel top edges to one another forms a second handle and the handles support carrying of the bag. The relative dimensions of the panel height, lower portion height, lower portion width, and upper extension width are selected for maximizing volume of the bag without compromising the comfortable placement of the scarf about a neck.
