Embodiments described herein relate generally to devices, systems and methods for optimizing and masking compression in a biosensing garment. The biosensing garment has a first fabric portion configured to be disposed about a circumferential region of a user, the first fabric portion having an inner surface including electrode sensor assembly configured to be placed in contact with the skin of the user, the first fabric portion having a first compression rating; and a second fabric portion extending from the first fabric portion, the second fabric portion having a second compression rating less than the first compression rating.

An article of apparel is configured to be worn on a torso of a wearer. The article of apparel includes a plurality of textile panels including a first textile panel and a second textile panel. The first textile panel is spaced apart from the second textile panel to define a gap between the first textile panel and the second textile panel on the article of apparel. An elastic textile material spans the gap and extends from the first textile panel to the second textile panel on the article of apparel. The first textile panel and the second textile panel possess a first elongation value, and the elastic textile material possesses a second elongation value that is greater than the first elongation value.

The present disclosure provides a multi-layer system including at least two or more parallel layers of thin material unconnected within a layer but joined together by at least two opposing edges that are in series with an anticipated vector of mechanical force. Each layer includes two or more materials of different elasticities that are arranged in series with respect to the two fixed ends of the material. Each layer can possess a unique spatial arrangement of the different elastic segments. The relative movement of the material layers provides patterns within one or more of the layers that reveal colors, spaces, or patterns in the underlying layers depending on the amount of tension across the material. This allows for the dynamic change in outward appearance of the material with the increase and decrease of force.

Provided is a multilayer-structure circular knit fabric that has excellent cool touch sensation and moisture absorbability, has improved moisture dispersibility, is quick drying to avoid the feeling of dampness, is very comfortable with high cool touch sensation, can reduce stickiness and a cold feeling after sweating by causing the sweat to dry quickly, and has a pleasant texture. The multilayer-structure circular knit fabric is formed of a single circular knit having a layer structure with two or more layers, and has a section where a cellulose-based continuous fiber and a hydrophobic fiber form the same knit loop.

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).

A cold weather facemask is described. Embodiments of the cold weather facemask include a front panel being coupled to a back panel. The front side panel can include, but is not limited to, a nose pocket, an exhaust vent, heating elements, and piping located along a top edge of the front side panel. The back panel can be manufactured from an elastic material. The back panel can be implemented to compress the front panel against a face of a wearer.

An athletic garment comprising an envelope pocket positioned along an upper portion of the garment and configured to secure objects is disclosed. The envelope pocket may be comprised of a compression material that may secure stored objects in place. In one embodiment, an envelope pocket may be opened from the bottom and disposed along the rear, upper portion of the garment. The pocket opening may be positioned such that an athlete may reach around his or her back and quickly and ergonomically insert and retrieve balls from the pocket. The envelope pocket may be constructed such that the stored objects and balls do not impede an athlete's movement during athletic activity.

A motorcycle thermal protective leg covering for preventing motorcycle related leg burns includes a pair of tubular leg sleeves each having an upper aperture, a lower aperture, a lateral side, and a medial side. Each of the pair of leg sleeves is configured to be worn by a user from the ankle to the knee. Each of the pair of leg sleeves comprises a plurality of layers configured to prevent burns from a motorcycle to the user's legs. A pair of stirrups is coupled to the pair of leg sleeves and is configured to pass underneath the user's feet and prevent the pair of leg sleeves from moving. Each of the pair of stirrups has a lateral end coupled to the lateral side adjacent the lower aperture and a medial end coupled to the medial side adjacent the lower aperture.

A swimming garment formed from a stretchable elasticated fabric that, in use, covers at least part of the wearer's thighs, hips and glutes. The garment includes at least two tension bands that have a higher modulus of elasticity than adjacent regions of the stretchable elasticated fabric so that, in use, the tension bands offer greater resistance to stretch than the adjacent regions. A first one of said tension bands follows a path that extends along the outside of a left thigh region of the garment to a left hip region of the garment and inwardly from the left hip region across a left upper glute region of the garment towards a mid-line of the garment. A second one of said tension bands follows a path that extends along the outside of a right thigh region of the garment to a right hip region of the garment and inwardly from the right hip region across a right upper glute region of the garment towards a mid-line of the garment.

A garment (e.g., a shirt) for monitoring biometric properties of the wearer of the garment is disclosed. The garment may include sensors for monitoring or assessing the vital signs and body position of the wearer. A processor associated with the garment may provide an output indicative of an assessed condition of the wearer based on the assessed vital signs and the assessed body position of the wearer of the fabric. The garment may include an injector assembly that is used to administer a drug injection to the wearer when the assessed condition indicates that the wearer is in an alert condition.
