A heated article of clothing including a garment body, a heater coupled to the garment body, a heater supply cable configured to provide electrical power to the heater, and a battery pack configured to power to the heater by way of the heater supply cable. The garment body includes a first compartment configured to hold the battery pack, a second compartment configured to alternatively hold the battery pack, and a pass-through connecting the first compartment to the second compartment internally within the garment body such that the battery pack is movable between the first and second compartments while remaining coupled with the heater supply cable.

Bladders/containers designed to hold a meaningful amount of material (in any state: solid, liquid or gas) to conductively absorb heat from the human body. In addition, the material may be consumed by the user wearing the bladder/container, thus providing a source of hydration for the user. The bladders/containers would also enhance impact and/or ballistic protection of the user.

An arm warming device including a sleeve. A shoulder cover is connected to a proximal end of the sleeve. A strap is connected to the shoulder cover to secure the arm warming device to the user. A heating element is disposed within the sleeve for applying heat to the arm of the user. The heating element comprises far infrared fiber material. The sleeve includes an interior layer, a central layer, and an outer layer of a substantially waterproof material. The heating element is integrated with the central layer for applying heat to the arm of the user.

An article of clothing adapted for use by a wearer, the article of clothing including an outer body and an inner body. The outer body includes a front sheet, a collar portion, a pair of sleeves, each sleeve extending from one side of the outer body. The inner body includes a front sheet, a collar portion, a pair of sleeves, each sleeve extending from one side of the inner body. The collar portion of the inner body is attached to the collar portion of the outer body. The inner body is disposed within the outer body. In one embodiment, a pocket is disposed on the outer surface of the front sheet of the inner body. In another embodiment, a pocket is disposed on the inner surface of the front sheet of the outer body.

A heat transfer system that may be used to absorb heat from a human user. A wearable vest is provided. The innermost surface of the vest is covered in hook-compatible material. One or more thermal transfer packs are configured to be attached to the vest. One or more hook panels on each thermal transfer pack is used to stick the thermal transfer pack directly to the innermost surface of the vest.

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.

The P.A.C.K is designed to provide the individual with continuous refreshing air during extreme weather. The P.A.C.K mounts a fan pointed upward towards the users' body. The innovative aspect of the P.A.C.K is that it is a “hands free” portable device that allows the user to be active all the while with both hands available for work unlike the existing devices that requires the use of one hand limiting the activity of the user. This is achieved by attaching the unit to the users' pant belt. The P.A.C.K has an element guard that channels the air towards the body.

A battery powered heating pad for the breast for lactating women. The battery powered heating pad for the breast generally includes a battery powered (or electrically-powered) heating pad for the breast. The heating pad includes a U-shaped body sized and shaped to be removably positioned within a pocket in a heating pad holder for attachment to a maternity bra. The heating pad also includes a U-shaped heating element positioned in alignment with the U-shaped body to provide heat at the outer surface of the U-shaped body. A power unit is also adapted to fit within the body, and is electrically connected to the heating element to provide electrical power to it. An open portion of the U-shaped body allows access to a woman's nipple without removing the electrically-powered heating pad.

A heated medical face mask is provided, including, a first outer layer having an outer surface and an inner surface; a second, inner layer having an outer surface and in inner surface; the first and second layers being fastened together around corresponding peripheral side and bottom edges but being open along an upper edge or side edge to form a pocket; and a heating element being releasably located in the pocket.

One variation of a method for fabricating a dermal heatsink includes: fabricating a substrate defining an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and an open network of pores extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface; activating surfaces of the substrate and walls of the open network of pores; applying a coating over the substrate to form a heatsink, the coating comprising a porous, hydrophilic material and defining a void network; removing an excess of the coating from the substrate to clear blockages within the open network of pores by the coating; hydrating the heatsink during a curing period; heating the heatsink during the curing period to increase porosity of the coating applied over surfaces of the substrate; and rinsing the heatsink with an acid to decarbonate the coating along walls of the open network of pores in the substrate.
