A weight-bearing vest is provided. The weight-bearing vest includes a vest body, a support bag of support bags, a water weight bag, and a fixing band. Outer surfaces of front and rear sides of the vest body are symmetrically provided with the support bags, and the support bag is provided with a placement opening. The water weight bag is placed in the support bag from the placement opening, the water weight bag is taken out from the support bag, and the water weight bag is provided with a valve for adding and discharging water. The fixing band is arranged on an outer surface of the support bag, and a degree of tightness of the fixing band is adjusted. A weight of the water weight bag is changed at will by injecting water into the water weight bag or discharging the water from the water weight bag.

A short- or long-sleeved upper garment with a high degree of freedom of articulation, in particular for the sport shooting and hunting sector. The upper garment has a one-piece back part with a vertical central area covering the back and the shoulder area of a person. The back part has laterally left and right projecting arm sections respectively with a Top side with a laterally outer End point and a Bottom side with a laterally outer End point. The laterally outer End points of the left and right Top sides respectively coincide with the End points of the left and right Bottom sides respectively. This makes it possible, among other things, to avoid or at least reduce tensions introduced into the back part by arm and shoulder movements and to increase wearing comfort.

A multilayer fabric for selectively blocking or transmitting particular wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, such solar radiation, and far infrared (FIR) radiation. The multilayer fabric may include a microporous water vapor permeable layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths depending on the size of its pores. In some embodiments, the multilayer fabric may include a nanostructured layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths.

An upper-torso garment includes a chest-covering portion having a knit textile region, which includes a plurality of courses fully spanning a dome-shaped portion. In addition, the knit textile region includes a plurality of partial-length courses partially spanning the dome-shaped portion.

A protective garment for an animal includes a torso portion and an elongated groin strip extending rearwardly from a rear of the torso portion. The torso portion has a bottom, a first side and a second side, and a torso closure configured to wrap around an animal's torso when the garment is placed on the animal, and is configured to secure the first and second sides to each other at the animal's back. The elongated groin strip has an end portion and a length sufficient for the groin strip to wrap around a rear end of the animal and to be secured to the torso forward of the tail. The groin strip has a transition portion with an opening positioned and sized to permit the animal's tail to pass there through and to allow the animal to freely defecate while the garment is worn.

A lawn mower or stand-on powered drivable machine has an electrical port that receives current from an alternator powered by the engine or motor. The port receives a plug from a garment worn by the lawn mower operator. The garment includes one or more thermo-electric elements that are powered from current extending through the port. The thermo-electric (TEC) elements may be resistive heaters to warm the operator or TEC coolers to cool the operator. Furthermore, the garment may include a rechargeable battery that powers the thermo-electric elements when the plug is disconnected from the port.

A chest binder includes a front part and a back part. The front part includes a front piece including at least one layer of elastic fabric, and a percent elongation of the elastic fabric is between 1% and 5%. The back part includes an X-shaped back piece and a tightenable piece connected to the lower end of the back piece. The back piece includes an inner layer and a surface layer attached to the inner layer to form an integrated structure. The inner layer includes a left back strap and a right back strap. The tightenable piece is connected to the left back strap and the right back strap, and two sides of the tightenable piece are connected to two sides of the front piece, respectively. The front piece includes a left front strap and a right front strap.

The invention relates to a cooling garment for cooling a torso of a wearer, comprising a front and a rear panel with a neck opening therebetween, wherein the front panel and the rear panel together comprise one single cooling section composed of two outer layers with a water absorbent layer sandwiched therebetween. The two outer layers are sealed together along their edges to form a single compartment for the storage of water, wherein the portions of the compartment that are at the front and the rear panel are in fluid communication with one another over the shoulders. Both outer layers are impermeable to water but permeable to water vapor. The cooling garment may be activated by filling the compartment with water via an inlet in one of the outer layers.
