An outergarment has a shoulder strap attached to an upper portion thereof.

The present invention relates to breathable, vented, and insulating cold weather garments. More particularly, the present invention relates to garments with chambers to retain an insulating fill material. Perforations along the seams between the insulating chambers may achieve optimal evaporative moisture transfer from the inside (proximal to the body of a wearer) of the garment to the outside environment.

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.

A pullover towel is provided, including a terrycloth towel having a neckline hole formed in a center thereof. A knit fabric neckline is coupled with the towel about the neckline hole. The pullover towel includes a first, second, and third fabric section, with the third fabric section positioned between the first and second. The neckline is positioned in the third fabric section. The fabric sections and neckline are arranged such that when the pullover towel is worn, the first fabric section is draped over a user's front torso, the second fabric section is draped over a user's back torso, the third fabric section is draped over a user's shoulders, and the neckline is positioned about a user's neck. Also provided is a method of making a pullover towel, including forming a neckline hole within a towel, and coupling a neckline about the neckline hole.

A chemical protective poncho system for encapsulating a patient is presented. The system has a body extending a length between a top end and a bottom end and having a hood attached near the top end and having a liner attached near the bottom end. The system includes a layer of adsorbent impregnated media capable of filtering chemical agents while allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the material. The chemical protective poncho is specially adapted to fit over the top of a patient and chemically seal the lower portion of the patient while allowing the patient ambulatory freedom. The system also includes ports for intravenous access as well as a port for respiratory access. The system may also include a powered air purifying respirator which positively pressurizes the interior space of the system.

An article of clothing, such as a dress shirt, blouse, coat, jacket, or vest, includes a sheet of material forming a body portion. First and second plackets are formed along respective first and second end portions of the sheet of material. First and second magnetic elements, each being encased in an encasement, are secured inside first and second pockets, respectively, such that positions of the plurality of second magnetic elements correspond to positions of the plurality of first magnetic elements.
