A clothing integrated tab system is disclosed. The clothing integrated tab system may include an anchor panel. The anchor panel may include a first aperture, a second aperture, a channel extending between the first aperture and the second aperture, and a bridge tab. The bridge tab may be disposed between the first aperture and the second aperture as well as extending over the channel. The clothing integrated tab system may include a tab member removably coupled to the anchor panel and extending through the first aperture, the channel and the second aperture.

A rain bib garment is provided, wherein the rain bib garment includes buoyant elements that may be employed so that a wearer may float in water, should the need arise, and further includes means for providing a substantially water-tight seal between the rain bib and a wearer at an upper portion of the rain bib.

This invention is related to electrical connections in wearable garments and other articles that enable the transfer of electrical signals or electrical power from one site in the garment or article to another site on the garment or article by the use of an electrical conductor printed along the length of a sewable substrate which bridges the two sites.

A protective pad for protection from impact and a protective garment using the protective pad may be provided. In one implementation, the protective pad may include a foam part and a plate part. The foam part may include a plurality of channels, a plurality of cutout portions, and a plate accommodating section for receiving the plate part. The channels may be formed in a first surface of the foam part and the plate accommodating section may be formed in a second surface opposite to the first surface. The cutout portions of the foam part may include through-holes formed in the foam part from the first surface to the second surface. The plate part may be arranged on the plate accommodating section of the foam part, and the plate part may include a plurality of cutout portions that are substantially aligned with the cutout portions of the foam part.

The present invention comprises a duplex thermal transfer pack. The pack includes a large bag containing many smaller sub bags. Each sub bag contains plain water. The volume within the large bag but outside the sub bags contains a second substance. This second substance freezes with a consistency akin to crushed ice or packed snow. The second substance allows the thermal transfer pack to remain malleable even when its contents are frozen.

One variation of a method for fabricating a dermal heatsink includes: fabricating a substrate defining an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and an open network of pores extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface; activating surfaces of the substrate and walls of the open network of pores; applying a coating over the substrate to form a heatsink, the coating comprising a porous, hydrophilic material and defining a void network; removing an excess of the coating from the substrate to clear blockages within the open network of pores by the coating; hydrating the heatsink during a curing period; heating the heatsink during the curing period to increase porosity of the coating applied over surfaces of the substrate; and rinsing the heatsink with an acid to decarbonate the coating along walls of the open network of pores in the substrate.

The invention is to a protective pad for protection from impact and a protective garment using the same. The protective pad includes a foam part and a plate part. The foam part includes a plurality of channels, a plurality of cutout portions, and a plate accommodating section for receiving the plate part. The channels are formed in a first surface of the foam part and the plate accommodating section is formed in a second surface opposite to the first surface. The cutout portions of the foam part are through-holes formed in the foam part from the first surface to the second surface. The plate part is arranged on the plate accommodating section of the foam part, and the plate part includes a plurality of cutout portions that are substantially aligned with the cutout portions of the foam part.

An emblem and assembly is provided for use with a leather garment. The emblem can include a decorative design on its surface. The assembly includes an inner support plate affixable with a section of the leather garment and an emblem base plate. The emblem base plate includes a first side for receiving at least one latching mechanism and a second side for receiving the emblem, wherein the latching mechanism couples with the inner support plate. The emblem base plate can include a hollowed out section on the second side with a circuit board with electrically coupled LED lighting attached thereto. The assembly can include an anchor plate affixable within an interior of the garment. The assembly can include a shoulder harness coupleable with the anchor plate and the inner support plate. The harness and inner support plate can be affixed at different positions along the anchor plate.

Arm protectors are disclosed. The arm protector may be configured to protect a forearm of a user from bruising, scratches, cuts, bites, burns, and/or other injuries. The arm protector may include a body portion having a main body portion, a hand portion, and an extension portion. The main body portion may extend between the hand portion and the extension portion. The extension portion may extend from the main body portion toward an elbow of a user on a first side and toward an elbow crease of a user on a second side so as to protect a forearm, including an elbow region, of a user, while facilitating bending of the arm of the user.
