The present disclosure relates to a breathable, reusable, leakproof, absorbent, antimicrobial, waterproof and vapor disperser multilayer lining for clothing. A purpose of this lining is to avoid the release of body fluids such as sweat, blood, vaginal fluids, menstrual fluid, urine, breast milk or postoperative fluids.

A breathable item of clothing and a breathable insert for items of clothing, the item of clothing includes an external enclosure, the surface of which has at least one opening for evacuating perspiration in the vapor phase in an upper region of the item of clothing, a breathable external covering having a structure for the external retention of water, impurities or others, an internal layer to be directed toward the body of the user of the item of clothing, forming an interspace due to the spacing of the external covering from the body of the user, for the passage of perspiration in the vapor phase, produced by the body and channeled within the interspace, to the external covering. The external covering, structure for external retention of water, impurities or others, and the internal layer are placed in a breathable preassembled insert.

A puffer jacket configured to provide improved temperature regulation through graduated venting. In one embodiment, the jacket includes a back panel with baffles and insulation arranged to provide reduced insulation and increased venting of heat and humidity toward the center of the back. The back panel may include an alternating arrangement of insulation baffles (containing insulation) and vent baffles (free of insulation). The insulation baffles and vent baffles may be formed by joining inner and outer layers of fabric with laterally extending lines of stitching. The lines of stitching may follow paths selected to progressively change the relative size of the vent baffles and the insulation baffles toward the center of the back. For example, the lines of stitching may give the insulation baffles a somewhat hourglass shape shortening toward the center of the back resulting in increasingly greater venting of heat and humidity toward the center of the back.

An article of apparel is described which is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, the article of apparel includes a base textile with a thermal regulation membrane. The thermal regulation membrane contains a plurality of system-reactive components selectively engaged heat and/or moisture. In an embodiment, the printed coating includes a cooling agent, a phase change material, and a heat dissipation material. In operation, the article of apparel is effective to delay/diminish the rise in skin temperature (compared to a garment lacking the membrane), increasing wearer comfort.

Disclosed herein is a mask with an ePTFE membrane including: a mask sheet for covering a wearer's nose and mouth; and a mask string which is connected to both ends of the mask sheet and is held to the wearer's ears, wherein the mask sheet includes an ePTFE membrane. The mask sheet includes: an inner layer located toward the wearer's face; an outer layer located on the opposite side of the inner layer which faces the wearer's face; and the ePTFE membrane located between the inner layer and the outer layer. Furthermore, both ends of the outer layer, both ends of the ePTFE membrane and both ends of the inner layer are bonded mutually.

An exoskeleton (100) system comprises at least one garment selected from the group consisting of a shirt or vest (110), short or pants (120), an upper arm sleeve (130), a lower arm sleeve (140), a thigh sleeve (150), and a leg sleeve (160) wherein the garment may be a multilayer construct that comprises an inner layer (201) of nylon material, a middle layer (202) made of neoprene, an outer layer (203) made of plush material; and an article (300) with attached hook and loop fasteners (301) to be mounted onto the garment by securing the hook and loop fasteners (301) onto any spots or locations of the outer layer (203).

An item of protective apparel can be formed from a compression particulate blocking fabric. The compression particulate blocking fabric may include an outer layer and a particulate blocking layer bonded to the outer layer. The particulate blocking layer is configured to block particulates within a predetermined size range from passing through the particulate blocking layer. The compression particulate blocking fabric may also include an inner layer bonded to the particulate blocking layer opposite to the outer layer. The compression particulate blocking fabric may also provide compression on a body part of a wearer of the item of protective apparel.

A face mask includes a non-woven fabric filter configured to be worn on a user's face. A composition with anti-viral properties is arranged on the fabric. The composition preferably includes anti-viral oils and an anti-viral metal such as copper or copper oxide.

The present disclosure provides a filtration element comprising a proximal filtration layer, a distal filtration layer and at least one filtration layer placed between said proximal filtration layer and said distal filtration layer, each filtration layer comprising a non-woven (NW) fabric having a filtration degree; wherein the proximal filtration layer and the distal filtration layer have, independently, a filtration degree that is lower than the filtration degree of the at least one filtration layer placed between said proximal filtration layer and said distal filtration layer. Also provided by the present disclosure is a personal protective equipment comprising the disclosed filtration element and a method of protecting a subject body using the same.

An electrostatic adsorption mask is provided. The mask comprises two straps, a mask body, a filtering layer and a tiny power. The filtering layer is located in the mask body and comprises a first carbon nanotube layer, a second carbon nanotube layer and an insulated porous layer. The insulated porous layer is located between the first carbon nanotube layer and the second carbon nanotube layer. The first carbon nanotube layer and the second carbon nanotube layer are electrically coupled with the tiny power. An electric field is existed between the first carbon nanotube layer and the second carbon nanotube layer.
