The present invention provides a heat reflective clothing to keep the body of a person warm in cold climate. The heat reflective clothing comprises Mylar and wool, wherein the Mylar has a reflective surface. The clothing provides excellent thermal insulation and moisture wicking properties and could be adapted into a jacket, gloves, footwear, apparel, hat and other clothing accessories.

A multi-layer glove has a first glove layer and a second glove layer. A pathogen resistant substance is positioned between the first glove layer and the second glove layer.

The present disclosure relates to a glove system which can shield a portion of the hand from the capacitive sensors of the touch screen, while allowing for direct touching of the screen by desired exposed portions of the hand or capacitive resistance portions of the glove. This glove system can include grip portions which have alternative materials which can selectively increase or decrease the coefficient of friction between the surface and the glove. The glove can also include finger apertures at a tip portion of the glove so as to facilitate direct touching when desired.

Digital or “smart” contracts execute in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may specify a digital contract via a contract identifier in a blockchain. Because there may be many digital contracts offered as virtual services, the contract identifier uniquely identifies a particular digital contract offered by a virtual machine, vendor or supplier. The blockchain is thus not burdened with the programming code that is required to execute the digital contract. The blockchain need only include or specify the contract identifier (and perhaps one or more contractual parameters), thus greatly simplifying the blockchain and reducing its size (in bytes) and processing requirements.

Articles of apparel and a method for manufacturing an article of apparel are disclosed. An insulation layer for an article of apparel may include a flexible polyurethane foam. The foam may be generated by polymerization in a pressurizable chamber at a pressure sufficient to prevent the foam from completely filling the chamber. A shell layer may include wind resistant, breathable material. The shell layer may include an outer layer of the article of apparel.

A protective hood for a garment is provided. The hood can have a multi-layered sidewall that has an inner fabric layer and an outer fabric layer that cooperate to define a first pocket. A padding layer is positioned within the pocket.
