A garment, comprising: a torso portion adapted to extend around at least a portion of a wearer's torso and having a hood, two sleeve portions and having a concealed pocket, wherein the torso portion having a first opening providing access to the pocket, and wherein the first opening has a reusable closing mechanism; and an insulated deformable container, wherein the insulated deformable container fits within the concealed pocket.

A garment for regulating temperature is provided, with a body including a back panel and at least one front panel and at least partially joined along at least one common edge, an inner liner panel fastened to an inner surface of at least one of the back panel and to the at least one front panel with a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface of the inner liner panel, and at least one pocket with top, bottom and side edges, being fastened to at least one of the first and second surfaces of the inner removable liner panel. The at least one pocket has at least one side opening.

A gel-pack has a plurality of self-contained components organized as layers in an interior chamber of the gel-pack. Each layer may be inserted into, and removed from, the interior chamber individually. The components include a solid-state gel layer that stores thermal energy, a first radiant energy barrier that prevents the transfer of thermal energy radiating from an exterior of the gel-pack into the solid-state gel layer, and a second radiant energy barrier that reflects the thermal energy radiating from the user's body into the solid-state gel layer.

The present invention is a two-layer garment adapted to receive one or more body parts to provide a user with compression and thermal therapy. The two layers comprise of an inner base layer having a compression fit and an outer mesh layer. The layers are attached to one another such that an intermediate space exists between the two layers. The intermediate space is accessible through one or more openings to the intermediate space. The opening and intermediate space are adapted to receive a thermal transferring element. A thermal pouch having a plurality of projections on an outward facing surface may receive the thermal transferring element prior to insertion into the intermediate space or the projections may be located on the thermal transferring element itself. The outer mesh layer receives the projections securing the thermal transferring element at any location, resulting in unmatched customizable thermal and compression therapy.

A temperature management garment manufactured with stretchable fabrics as to fit tightly to the wearer's selected anatomy and contains at least one significantly insulated pocket sized to fit a heat or cold producing thermal insert. The pockets are integrated with the garment to target strategic anatomical locations, are significantly insulated as to extend the duration of use of the thermal insert, and include adjustable banding that increases or decreases the level of compression as needed or required for the wearer. The use of significantly insulated materials for pocket construction significantly improves manufacturing costs and thermal performance as indicated in the prior art. Furthermore, the garments herein improve the prior art as iterations of this modular design can be worn independently, in a multitude of combinations, worn with other clothing, and can be integrated with other apparel from other manufacturers per agreements made.

A dual-function vest for keeping the body cool and providing cool drinking water. The vest has multiple ice pockets dispersed throughout an area of the vest. The ice pockets are fluidly interconnected to each through fluid channels, wherein water can flow between the multiple ice pockets. A port can be provided in the vest to provide access to an inner volume of the vest. Water can be filled into the multiple ice pockets through the port and also water can be drawn through the port. A long tube can be connected to the port while the free end of the long tube can act as a drinking spout.

Thermal therapy systems comprising a compression garment that has an inner surface and an outer surface with one or more pockets, each having at least one opening and a circular pouch shape with an interior compartment functionally configured to receive and hold in place a thermal therapy pack over a target anatomical area, for example, the user's waist, a limb, a knee, ankle, elbow, or shoulder. The various embodiments of the present invention have the advantage that they can accommodate one or more hot/cold packs in compartments that can comfortably hold the hot/cold packs in place anywhere around the waist, a knee, ankle, elbow, or shoulder, and simultaneously provide a cloth barrier between the hot/cold packs and the person's skin.

A garment for patients receiving medical treatment is disclosed. The garment has a sleeve that has an outer surface and an inner surface each made of a first material, a fastener coupled to the sleeve and configured to open and close the sleeve, an inner lining attached to the inner surface of the sleeve. The inner lining is made of a second material that has a higher elasticity than the first material. The garment has a series of pockets disposed on the inner lining configured to hold a heating element to keep the patient's arms warm while in the treatment position.

A compartmentalized hand warmer including one or more of a first flexible panel joined in face contacting relation to a second flexible panel and configured to have a compartment adapted to receive a warming element, a first annular element coupled to the first flexible panel, and a second annular element coupled to the first flexible panel in opposed relation to the first annular element.
