A testicle garment assembly includes a bag that may be worn around a scrotum such that the bag forms a barrier between the scrotum and an adjacent upper thigh. It this way the bag inhibits the scrotum from engaging the adjacent upper thigh. The bag is comprised of a deformable material for minimizing compression of the scrotum. The bag is comprised of an air permeable material for inhibiting perspiration from forming on the scrotum. Additionally, the bag is comprised of a fluid absorbent material for wicking perspiration away from the scrotum. The bag has a volume of approximately 50.0 cubic cm to accommodate the average male scrotum. An elastic band is positioned on the bag and the elastic band biases the bag to close around the scrotum for retaining the bag around the scrotum.

A clothing article that at least partially covers at least one selected from among (i) a lower limb and (ii) an upper limb, including: a plurality of heat-retaining parts having a higher heat-retaining property than other parts of the clothing article, the plurality of heat-retaining parts including at least one of the following groups: (i) a knee part, a heel part, and a digital part for a lower limb; and (ii) a wrist part, an elbow part, and a digital part for an upper limb, a heat release part being provided to (i) at least one digital part, among the digital part for the lower limb and the digital part for the upper limb, which at least one digital part is included in the clothing article or (ii) a part adjacent to the at least one digital part, the heat release part having greater breathability than other parts of the clothing article.

A footlet provided with a part manufactured on an apparatus for reciprocating knitting by knitting. The part comprises a ring-shaped opening limited by an edge and an elastic strip extending along the edge of the opening. The elastic strip comprises an elastic tape attached to the edge of the knitted part by an adhesive. During applying the elastic strip the knitted part of the ring-shaped opening is cut off at least partly along the edge so that a lateral side of the elastic strip almost coincides with a lateral side of the edge of the ring-shaped opening.

The invention is a garment designed for wear under equipment, such as a shin guard, which protects from contact dermatitis and other skin concerns while preserving elements to maintain or improve user comfort and performance. The garment may incorporate antimicrobial function by utilizing silver, copper, or another skin-safe component, as well as individual or combinations of elements including cooling, insulating, venting, padding, compression, odor control and other elements to protect the skin and improve function specific to the demands of the activity.

A method of forming a flexible pad and a sock comprising at least one flexible pad located on the underside of the sock is disclosed. The at least one flexible pad has a rear face attached to the sock, and an outwardly facing front face. A plurality of suckers are located on the at least one flexible pad section, and on the front face of the at least one flexible pad section, and each of the plurality of suckers form a concave shape. Each of the plurality of suckers are capable of creating a suction action when depressed from the rear face under pressure, and each of the plurality of suckers has a circular shaped side wall. An outer surface of the side wall is sloped inwards towards a central part of the sucker, and the base of the side wall is wider than the top portion.

Provided is a functional underwear support for men having active exercises such as running, marathon, and cycling in which the penis and the scrotum are separately accommodated independently of each other with high air permeability, the functional underwear support including a scrotum pocket which is formed with a functional fabric such as a mesh, a coolon, or a coolmax having a high air permeability, to entirely supporting the scrotum, a penis support cover which is formed by sewing a stretchable, soft spandex fabric fixedly supporting the penis so as not to to be shaken to the both left and right ends of the scrotum pocket outer side, and a rechargeable motor fan unit which is provided to one side of the scrotum pocket to remove moisture or facilitate ventilation of the scrotum and the groin.

A sock is provided. The sock has an ankle portion that conforms to an ankle of a wearer of the sock. The ankle portion has one or more ankle portion fibers. The sock has a foot portion that covers a foot sole of the wearer of the sock. The foot portion covers at least a portion of an instep of the wearer of the sock. The foot portion covers a portion of toes of the wearer of the sock without covering an exposed area of a remaining portion of the toes of the wearer of the sock. The foot portion comprises one or more foot portion fibers. The sock has a dissipation ring that is adhered to the one or more foot portion fibers adjacent to the exposed area. The dissipation ring dissipates heat and absorption from the remaining portion of the toes of the wearer of the sock.

An outdoor item such as a sleeping bag, jacket, hat or blanket with one or more ventilation/temperature adjustment openings. Each ventilation/temperature adjustment opening includes a fastening mechanism that when opened, an opening is formed in the outer layer and insulative material/layer of the sleeping bag but not in the inner layer, allowing the outdoor item to vent better, thereby cooling an occupant using or wearing the outdoor item thereby offering temperature regulation.

Aspects herein are directed to a bra having a front portion formed with multiple layers of mesh to provide a supportive, modest bra that is breathable, lightweight, and quick drying. The front portion includes an interior support panel assembly having a first panel made of a mesh material and a second panel made of a spacer mesh material that is adjacent and external to the first panel. The front portion also includes an upper support panel made of a spacer mesh material and a lower support panel made of a mesh material that each are positioned adjacent and external to the interior support panel assembly. The upper support panel and the lower support panel are each defined by a top edge and a bottom edge, and at least a portion of the upper support panel bottom edge may be positioned superior to the lower support panel bottom edge.

An article of apparel is disclosed that includes zones with a textile having a structure than changes or is otherwise modified by a physical stimulus, such as the presence of water or a temperature change, to modify a property of the textile. The zones may be along a center back area and/or side areas of the apparel, and the textile may increase in air permeability when exposed to water. In some embodiments, slits are formed in the textile.
