The present invention involves a method for permanently embedding a protective covering in an article of clothing over at least one predetermined portion of the clothing that can be worn by infants, children and adults. The protective covering is made from a thermoplastic material that is applied to and thermally bonds or co-mingles with the outermost fabric fibers of the clothing creating a permanently embedded, liquid impermeable, non-porous protective covering, including an increased height edge, which covering retains the same flexibility as the underlying fabric of the clothing article. The protective covering can be positioned across the top front portion of the clothing article and extend downward to a lower portion of the front of the clothing article creating an easy to clean particle and dirt resistant covering for the clothing article.

A packaged garment includes a garment and a sealed bag. The garment has a torso portion, a sleeve portion connected to the torso portion, and a leg portion connected to the torso portion. The garment has an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface. The sealed bag contains the garment with the sleeve portion folded onto the torso portion, a portion of the sleeve portion folded at least once underneath the sleeve portion between the sleeve portion and the torso portion, and the leg portion folded onto the torso portion. The garment is manipulated so that the inner surface of the torso portion faces outward and the torso portion forms an inner space containing the sleeve portion and the leg portion.

A full-body, single piece construction wader can include a torso portion with sleeves, a pants portion including two pants legs, and boots that are integrated into the bottom of the pants legs. Overlay pieces of material can be used to reinforce areas of the wader or decrease the chances of water penetration. The wader can include waterproof zippers and seams. The wader can include mostly vertical seams and no horizontal seams across a chest or waist area of the torso portion to decrease water penetration and reduce the risk of the fabric tearing at the seams. The wader can include cuffs, pockets, holders, and other components that provide versatility, warmth, and prevent water penetration into the full-body wader.

The compression augmented full-pressure suit system includes a garment configured to protect humans in low to zero atmospheric pressure environments while providing excellent mobility. The suit system includes a specialized compression garment worn over the entirety of the body, with a full pressure suit over that compression garment. The compression garment applies a percentage of the pressure on the human form required for protection in low atmosphere environments. The balance of the pressure that is required comes from pressurization of the full pressure suit. Use of both pressure application methods concurrently enables each component to be greatly simplified in comparison to their configuration when used individually, with the result being greater comfort and performance at a reduced cost.

A lower-body garment that includes a detachable portion which allows the wearer to easily perform personal/biological needs without removing the garment. The lower-body garment includes a front panel, a detachable rear panel, a waistband, and a crotch panel. The front panel and the detachable rear panel each include a top edge, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge. The crotch is connected in between the front panel and the detachable rear panel. The front panel is connected to the waistband along the top edge of the front panel. The detachable rear panel is attached to the front panel. Specifically, a first fastening mechanism is connected along the first lateral edge of the front panel and the detachable rear panel. A second fastening mechanism is connected along the second lateral edge of the front panel and the detachable rear panel. The fastening mechanisms allow for easy detachment.

A garment for increasing resistance to a wearer's body, the garment having a first portion with a fabric of a first resistance characteristic operable to stretch to conform with movement of the wearer's body and at least one second portion of a fabric having a second resistance characteristic, where the second portion conforms to an associated specific body area of the wearer's body such as a muscle or muscle group. Motion of the wearer's body causes the at least one second portion to either apply greater or lesser resistance to the associated specific body area of the wearer's body than the at least first portion applies to the wearer's body to enable targeting of resistance to specific body areas of muscle.
