An article of apparel may include a base layer and a cover layer. The cover layer may be stitchlessly-secured to an exterior surface of the base layer and positioned to extend along a side area and from a pelvic region to a leg region of the base layer. A width of the cover layer may be greater in the pelvic region than the first leg region. In some configurations, a frictional resistance of the exterior surface of the base layer may be greater than a frictional resistance of a surface of the cover layer.

An athletic garment is provided that has a plurality of fabric panels sewn together to form pants. The pants have a continuous interior cavity with a pair of leg portions each terminating at a leg opening. The pants have a front face and a rear face. A waistband is sewn to an upper edge of the pants. A fabric pouch is provided for containing an athletic support cup, and this pouch is disposed within the interior cavity of the pants proximate to the front face. The pouch is attached to the waistband by a top attachment panel, and it is attached to the front face of the pants on right and left sides of the pouch by side wing attachment panels. The side wing attachment panels are spaced apart from each other so as to leave a tip portion of the pouch unattached.

A garment that shields a wearer from electromagnetic radiation may generally have a length of fabric forming the garment. The wearable garment may be virtually any garment such as a brassiere, camisole, shirt, pants, leggings, head wear, footwear, and the like. The garment is preferably made of at least a first fabric and a second fabric, where the first fabric is a non-metallized fabric and the second fabric being a metallized fabric. The metallized fabric, in some embodiments, is a metal plated fabric having one or more electrically conductive metals disposed thereon. The metallized fabric is used to form at least one pocket of the garment. Electronics and other devices can be placed and stored in the metallized pocket thereby shielding the wearer from electromagnetic radiation emitted by the electronic or similarly situated device.

A garment for cyclists is disclosed that is particularly suitable for being able to be worn with any trousers so as not to restrict the person wishing to go by bicycle to wearing trousers with built-in protection, offering good protection of the genital, perineal and ischial zones of both the professional and amateur and occasional cyclists in a comfortable, discreet and also very practical manner.

The garment comprises an elasticised or elastic edge (2) provided for adhering to the body of the user so as to ensure that the entire structure of the garment does not move during pedaling, a pair of strips (3) made of woven material or elastics or of another fabric or suitable material designed to rest against the buttocks of the cyclist and engaged at one end with the edge (2) in the rear part, a front portion (4) connected to the strips (3) at one end and at the other to the edge (2) in the front part and set up to be positioned on the genital zone of the user with a series of zones with different types of processing designed to offer breathability, containment and support. The garment comprises a protective pad (5) shaped and located between the front part (4) and the pair of strips (3) and with padding having different thicknesses wherein the thickness is greater towards the centre of the padded portion placed at the support of the buttocks on the saddle so as to support better and with greater comfort the perineal and ischial zones of the user. In particular, the protective pad of very reduced dimensions protects the perineal zone and the ischial bones of the user.

Provided is an anti-chafing thigh guard. The anti-chafing thigh guard includes at least one adhesive patch. Each adhesive patch in the at least one adhesive patch is constructed of a linear sheet of material having a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface defines a non-abrasive texture. The linear sheet of material comprises an elastic, flexible, water-resistant, and hypoallergenic material. The sides of the at least one adhesive patch are defined by a geometrical shape of a first linear side connecting two rounded ends which are thereby connected by a curved second side, wherein the curvature of the second side allows the at least one patch to adhere to variable polar curvature of a user's skin. The geometrical shape of each patch provides a surface area configured to provide full coverage of an area of a user's skin subject to increased friction.

The present invention protects undergarments during use in a public restroom. In particular, the undergarments are secured to a tail-strap by fastening a rough velcro portion and a smooth velcro portion them. This is secured to the body of the device, which then dangles from the restroom's doorknob. The entire device can securely folded together for discreet transport.
