Provided herein are a controllable liquid transport material, a controllable liquid transport system and a method for preparing a controllable liquid transport material, where a first region of the controllable liquid transport material is treated to be hydrophobic, while a plurality of second regions partially contacted or completely separated with different shapes are treated to have a gradient or varied wettabilities and/or pore sizes for passively controllable liquid transport, and/or integrated with a smart material for actively controllable liquid transport driven by an external force, allowing efficiently and controllably directional transport of a liquid e.g., sweat. The controllable liquid transport system comprises a controllable liquid transport material used as a liquid transport layer and a breathable, waterproof protective layer.

A fitness garment that promotes excessive water weight and body fat loss at targeted areas of the wearer's body. The fitness garment is adjustable, machine washable, and conforms close to the user's body to specifically target problem weight loss areas to ensure maximum results. A lower panel formed of neoprene is held in close conformity to a user's torso to retain body heat at targeted locations. An upper panel is formed of a breathable resilient material and extends around the user's chest and shoulders, when worn. A zipper closure on a front face of the garment is operable to regulate the user's body heat. A lateral side zipper is provided as a closure of a side opening of the lower panel to selectively retain body heat around the user's stomach and back around the waistline.

A cold protection material includes: a front side fabric constituting a front fabric of the cold proof garment or constituting a fabric disposed inside the front fabric; a back side fabric disposed on a back side of the front side fabric; two partition members forming a space between the front side fabric and the back side fabric; a filler made of down or feathers stored in the space; an air permeable member disposed to cover a vent hole provided in the front side fabric or the back side fabric; and a sealing member fixed to the air permeable member so as to prevent ventilation at least at a portion facing the vent hole in the air permeable member. The air permeable member allows ventilation at a portion other than a portion to which the sealing member is fixed.

Aspects herein are directed to a flexible and breathable slider assembly for an article of apparel. The slider assembly includes a first slider tape having a first longitudinal edge with a first series of alternating peaks and troughs and a second longitudinal edge. The slider assembly also includes a third longitudinal edge with a second series of alternating peaks and troughs and a fourth longitudinal edge. A first textile edge of the article is attached to respective peaks of the first series of peaks but is unattached from respective troughs of the first series of troughs to form a first series of spaces. A second textile edge of the article is attached to respective peaks of the second series of peaks but is unattached from respective troughs of the second series of troughs to form a second series of spaces.

A corset includes: a left-front portion, a right-front portion, a back portion, a left accessory breast receiving portion, and a right accessory breast receiving portion. A left side of the back portion is connected to a right side of the left-front portion, and a right side of the back portion is connected to a left side of the right-front portion. The left-front portion is provided at a left side thereof with multiple rows of loops, and the right-front portion is provided at a right side thereof with hooks, the hooks and the multiple rows of loops being connected to each other by hooking. The left accessory breast receiving portion, the right accessory breast receiving portion, and the back portion form a U-shaped back neckline, and the left accessory breast receiving portion, the right accessory breast receiving portion, the left-front portion, and the right-front portion form a U-shaped front neckline.

Protective combat clothing (PCC) may include a shirt and trousers, wherein the shirt and the trousers are at least partially made of woven fabric made of a composition of the materials comprising flame-resistant fiber, flame-resistant meta-aramid fiber, heat-resistant fiber, polyimide and anti-static fiber.

An element for providing air exchange between the internal microenvironment and the external environment and can be used in the production of air-permeable clothing for anti-insect’s protection.. The element includes: a flat part with at least one air inlet opening and a curved part with at least one air outlet that is not coaxial with the inlet opening of the flat part; the inner surface of the curved part having at least one segment of the surface of the torus obtained by a horizontal cross-section of the torus, a vertical circular cross-section parallel to the centroidal axis of the torus; the curved part is connected to the flat part so that all the inlet openings of the flat part are covered by a wall of the torus segment of the curved part and are in communication with the outlet or outlets of the curved part with the air exchange possibility.

Aspects herein are directed to a composite textile having a substrate layer (e.g., knit, woven, nonwoven, etc.) and a film layer that is secured or bonded to the substrate layer. A plurality of slits extend through both the substrate layer and the film layer. The film layer is formed of a material that dimensionally transforms when exposed to an external stimulus such as moisture. When exposed to moisture the film layer swells, which causes flaps formed by the plurality of slits to extend in a z-direction away from the film layer. The opening of the flaps creates through-passages that extend through the thickness of the composite structure.

Aspects herein are directed to a woven, breathable textile. The textile comprises a first woven zone and a second woven zone, where the first and second woven zones are integrally woven such that a particular warp yarn extends through both the first woven zone and the second woven zone of the textile. The first woven zone comprises a first woven layer and a second woven layer with a space or void formed between the first and second woven layers. The second woven zone comprises a single woven layer comprising a plurality of apertures formed through the weaving process, where each aperture is located at the center of a repeating pattern of interlacings.
