A glove for use by a human hand to grip an object, with the glove comprising a palmar portion and at least one finger stall. The palmar portion having a top palmar end adapted to be adjacent the plurality of fingers, a bottom palmar end adapted to be adjacent the wrist of the hand. The glove further comprising a cuff portion extending from the bottom palmar end opposite the at least one finger stall, with the cuff portion adapted to extend over a wrist of the hand. The glove having a magnetic member and a transfer member, wherein the transfer member has a magnetic transfer end connected with the magnetic member and a cuff transfer end connected with the cuff portion, with the magnetic member adapted to engage with the object and transfer force from the magnetic member to the cuff portion when a wearer grips an object.

Disclosed is a modified set of gloves, system, and method of glove removal and retention that is particularly well suited for, but not limited to, tactical situations (i.e. fast-roping) and action sports environments. In one embodiment, the glove(s) feature at least one catch between at least two fingers of the glove(s). Preferably, the catch defines a mechanism for rapidly removing and retaining the glove(s). Further disclosed is a system for removing the glove(s) featuring a garment with an attached anchor, such as a carabineer or a hook. In a preferred embodiment, the anchor is positioned in the sternum area of the vest and glove wearer. Operably, a user moves the gloved hand(s) down and over the anchor to place the catch on the anchor so that the continued movement of the user's hands rapidly removes and stores the glove(s) via the anchor.

Disclosed are body impact protection systems. The body impact protection system may comprise at least one plate element layer, such as an interconnected meshed plate element network. Another embodiment may be directed to a protection system comprising at least one plate element layer, such as an interconnected meshed plate element network overlapping and adjacent to at least one liner or gel. Further embodiments may comprise the combination of multiple body impact protection systems in a single protective garment or device. Impact protection systems may be designed to protect various body features, such as for example, the head, shoulders, elbows, arms, wrists, hands, chest, torso, thighs, knees, shins, ankles, feet, and the like. The inventive body impact protection system affords more protection from the force of an impact and comfort than conventional body impact protection systems.

An object retaining article is provided. The object retaining article includes a first layer having a first length and a second layer having a second length and being coupled to the first layer to form an object compartment.

A fitness support and storage accessory has a glove and a sleeve for supporting a user's hand and forearm, respectively, while working out and a plurality of storage compartments for securing everyday items. The glove has a sleeve connector, while the sleeve has a glove connector; the sleeve connector and the glove connector allowing the glove to be removably attached to the sleeve. The plurality of storage compartments is integrated into both the glove and the sleeve, having a card holder, a phone holder, and a pouch. The card holder is integrated into the glove, while the phone holder and the pouch are integrated into the sleeve. Each of the plurality of storage compartments has a compartment closure to secure the items positioned within. The glove has a hand portion that can be configured as a fingerless glove for weightlifting or as a boxing glove.

A protective garment is disclosed herein. The protective garment includes a fingerless glove, a pocket, and a pad. The protective garment is useful for reducing pain from contacting objects after carpal tunnel surgery. The pocket of the fingerless glove covers from the middle of the palm of the hand to the wrist. A pad is inserted into the pocket which is useful for alleviating contact force against the palm of the hand of the user.

A wearable navigation interface device includes an LED display. The device establishes wireless communication with a navigation control device that has navigation software installed thereon. The device determines a current geographic location and route to a desired destination, the route including a plurality of turning points. Navigation information is received from the navigation control device and, based on such navigation information, first provides a notification light pattern on the LED display, and, thereafter, provides the direction and distance in which the user should go until reaching the next turning point along the route using a directional light pattern on the LED display arrangement. The wearable navigation device is preferably included on the back side of a rider's glove. Contacts included in the fingertips of the glove enable the rider to select functions and information to be displayed on the device.

The present invention provides for a striking garment having a striking sensor system and a program to receive data, the program providing visual feedback and analysis of the data from the sensor system for the user.

A compartmentalized hand warmer including one or more of a first flexible panel joined in face contacting relation to a second flexible panel and configured to have a compartment adapted to receive a warming element, a first annular element coupled to the first flexible panel, and a second annular element coupled to the first flexible panel in opposed relation to the first annular element.
