The present invention is generally directed to a portable, reusable, and rapidly deployable protective cover configured to be worn over a person's clothing and to protect portions of the person's torso and lap from liquid and solid spills, particularly while in a seated position, such as when sitting in a vehicle.

A radiation protection garment. The radiation protection garment includes one or more lead-based panels and a cooling system. The cooling system includes one or more air flow paths containing air and one or more air vents that provide fluid communication between atmosphere and the one or more air flow paths. Movement of the radiation protection garment causes the air in the one or more air flow paths to flow through the one or more air flow paths and exit through the one or more air vents. Additionally, or alternatively, the radiation protection garment includes one or more lead-based panels and a support system. The support system distributes a weight of the radiation protection garment away from at least one of a neck or a lower back of a user while the user is wearing the radiation protection garment.

Disclosed is a wearable thermal protection and perspiration management apparatus that includes a two-ply composite main body and an inner layer of elastic material. The two-ply main body includes an outer layer made of moisture absorbent material and an interior layer made of moisture wicking material this is arranged in contact with the outer layer of moisture absorbent material. The interior layer provides a moisture barrier which is adapted for preventing captured moisture from contacting a wearer's body. The inner layer of elastic material is adapted and configured to secure the two-ply composite main body in contact with the wearer's body. Preferably, the two-ply composite main body has a Thermal Protective Performance rating of greater than 35 cal/cm.sup.2.

This disclosure includes various uses of extensible papers, for example to improve products typically made with conventional papers or as an alternative to plastic in products typically made with plastic. Examples of such products include bags such as retail shopping bags; primary product packaging; product bundle wraps; shipping products such as envelopes, pallet wrap, blocking, bracing, and cushioning; personal protection equipment (PPE) and medical products; food service products such takeaway wrappers for food; construction and landscape materials; and industrial and agricultural bags. In at least some of the present embodiments and configurations, the extensible paper has a machine direction (MD) extensibility of 10% or greater, and a cross-direction (CD) extensibility of 6% or greater.
