Apparatus for a penis and a scrotum of a wearer are described. The apparatus may comprise a semi-rigid body and attachment element. The semi-rigid body may comprise a first structure sized to at least partially surround a posterior portion of the penis; a second structure positionable to maintain a separation between a posterior portion of the scrotum and thighs of the wearer; and third structure positionable to maintain a separation between an anterior portion of the scrotum and the penis when the second structure maintains the separation between the posterior portion of the scrotum and the thighs. The attachment element may be configured to maintain the semi-rigid body in a position relative to the wearer such that the second structure maintains the separation between the posterior portion of the scrotum and the thighs and the third structure maintains the separation between the anterior portion of the scrotum and the penis.

A wader sock for use beneath a pair of waterproof boots or in a pair of hip or chest waders as would be used by an outdoorsman or fisherman. The socks are water resistant and have a neoprene construction sandwiched between two sheer layers of polymer fabric. The sock has several panels of conventional neoprene and a single panel of perforated neoprene spanning under the sole and behind calf panel that allows for the ejection of water when the wearer walks. There is a unitary piece foldable upper cuff with a top hook for connection to the waders.

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.

A method of matching/combining distinct fabrics into a single article of clothing comprises obtaining a first fabric defining a color pattern, obtaining a second fabric that is distinct from the first fabric, the second fabric being a plain or solid color fabric, using a digital fabric printer to print the color pattern of the first fabric onto the second fabric to obtain a modified second fabric that also defines the color pattern, and combining the first fabric and the modified second fabric into the single article of clothing. The digital fabric printer can also be used to print the color pattern onto the first fabric. The first and/or second fabrics can also be formed using a yarn-dye process. A system for matching/combining distinct fabrics into a single article of clothing includes a yarn weaving/knitting system and/or a digital fabric printer, a fabric combining system, and an optional color pattern analyzer.

A sports bra with flexible reinforcements that aid in reducing inertia caused by movement of the breast weight when a person engages in physical activities.

A wader comprising a body portion and a bootie. The bootie is attached to the body portion. The bootie is comprised of a toe piece, an ankle piece, and a sole piece. The toe piece, the ankle piece, and the sole piece are adhered together to form the bootie. The toe piece has an outside surface, and the toe piece comprises a raised neoprene area on the outside surface. The ankle piece has an inside surface, and the ankle piece comprises a raised neoprene area on the inside surface. The toe piece, the ankle piece, and the sole piece are all comprised of a neoprene material. The raised neoprene area on the inside surface of the ankle piece is configured to wick moisture up and away from the foot of the wearer.

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.

A headwear assembly is disclosed having an oximetry sensor and a circuit assembly configured to measure pulse and oxygen level for a user during exercise and/or physical activity. The oximetry sensor is positioned in a front section of the headwear assembly, proximate to the forehead when worn. Other sensors can also be included with the headwear assembly, such as temperature, blood pressure, and so on. The headwear assembly is configured to securely conform about a user's head when worn, such that the oximetry sensor is positioned and effectively immobilized on the forehead above the eyebrows. The headwear assembly can further provide integrated functionality with an external electronic device, such as a smart mobile phone. The headwear assembly can include a wireless charger for charging a rechargeable battery disposed on the headwear assembly.
