The sun protective body barrier is useful for protecting a left arm and hand against ultra-violet radiation while driving a motor vehicle. Also, the sun protective body barrier is inexpensive and reusable while also adjusting to the width and length of a user's left arm and hand. Further, the sun protective body barrier is useful for reducing the effect of the sun's rays while driving that is quick, easy and effective. The sun protective body barrier has removable a sleeve and a hand cover that protect the hand and arm from the UV rays of the sun.

A face mask designed for easy breathability, incorporating a UV-C light source, designed to have a long air flow pathway and/or a long dwell time, designed to protect the wearer against disease-causing biological agents.

An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a thermal regulation composition is applied to a surface of a textile substrate at a first temperature and a first pressure to form a thermal regulation membrane disposed on the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate with the thermal regulation membrane is compressed at a second pressure and a second temperature to position a portion of the thermal regulation membrane below the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate is incorporated into an article of apparel. The thermal regulation composition can include one or more system reactive components provided within a binder, where a system reactive components can include a cooling agent, a latent heat agent and/or a heat dissipation agent.

In a respiratory protection mask with a face mask part (2) and, associated with the latter, an air disinfection device (3) comprising a housing (4) exhibiting an input communicating with the environment, and further an output communicating with the internal area of the face mask part (2) and whose internal area is designed as an air irradiation chamber (16) provided with at least one LED light source (6) emitting UV light, a high user-friendliness is achieved in that the LED light source (6) is arranged on a slide (7) which is detachably receivable in an associated frame (8) provided on the housing side and open towards the air irradiation chamber (16).

Methods and associated light management system variously provide protection of at least UPF 50, a cooling effect, a shading effect, a warming effect and a source for a photovoltaic device. A textile material absorb incident spectrum including one or more of a UV wavelength, a visible wavelength, and a near infrared wavelength and spontaneously emits light having an emission spectrum including visible light radiation and near infrared radiation. The textile material and associated articles have a high degree of UV blocking property due to strong absorption in the UV range. In addition, the spontaneous emission releases most of the absorbed energy and, therefore, the textile material remains relatively cool under sunlight, the shading effect. Furthermore, the strong spontaneous emission allows for shielding properties even when the apparel is made from otherwise sheer knit or weave structure. Associated application methods and manufacture methods are also disclosed.

An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a textile substrate is obtained, and a thermal regulation composition is applied to a surface of the textile substrate at a first temperature and a first pressure to form a coated textile substrate. The coated textile substrate is dried to form a thermal regulation membrane disposed on the surface of the textile substrate, and the textile substrate with the thermal regulation membrane is compressed at a second pressure and a second temperature to position a portion of the thermal regulation membrane below the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate is incorporated into an article of apparel. The thermal regulation composition can include one or more system reactive components provided within a binder, where a system reactive components can include a cooling agent, a latent heat agent and/or a heat dissipation agent.

Open-palm, fingerless hand protection gloves comprising a dorsal portion, a wrist portion, and at least one finger loop, where the dorsal portion is crisscrossed proximal to the at least one finger loop, are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a dorsal portion of a hand protective glove is not crisscrossed proximal to a finger loop. In some embodiments, a finger loop surrounds multiple fingers. In some embodiments, the hand protection glove may be a sun protection glove where at least the dorsal portion is formed of ultraviolet (UV) protective material.

A process of forming a fiber comprised of a plurality of bio-char particles, comprising: combining a portion of a polymer with a hemp derivative, said hemp derivative selected form a hemp carbon made by pyrolyzing a quantity of hemp stalk at between 1100-1500° C. to create a char; adding the char to a milling vessel and milling the char for a period of between 1 to 16 hours, and a full spectrum hemp extract, or combinations thereof, wherein the polymer and hemp derivative are extruded to form a fiber.
