A portable, wearable, cooling system for the avoidance and management of hyperthermia, and more particularly a self-contained cooling system that can be integrated into a garment. In one embodiment, the system comprises a removable cartridge having a cooling fluid therein, attached via tubing to a motorized pump driven by a power pack, such that the pump drives water from the cartridge through a circuit of tubes into a bladder that provides a cooling effect to the wearer. In another embodiment, the bladder is not a removable piece but is an integrated portion of the garment, formed by creating a lumen in between two layers of bonded material. The lumen is connected at both its ends to the tubing that mns to the cartridge and pump. Cooling fluid is pumped through the lumen and thereby cools the wearer due to the proximity to the wearer's skin.

A portable hydration device for use with a portable hydration system is described. The portable hydration device comprises a housing having an inlet, configured to be in fluid communication with a reservoir of water, and an outlet configured to be in fluid communication with a mouthpiece; the housing defining a throughbore connecting the inlet and the outlet. The device also includes a receptacle configured to contain an additive and a selector. The selector is movable between an engaged position in which the selector is engaged with the receptacle and a disengaged position in which the selector is disengaged from the receptacle. In the engaged position the selector permits fluid communication between the receptacle and the throughbore and in the disengaged position the selector prevents fluid communication between the receptacle and the throughbore. The selector defines a throughbore, the selector throughbore being aligned with the housing throughbore in the engaged and the disengaged positions.

Examples of a breast support garment are disclosed. The breast support garment comprises a front panel with a chest area configured to support a wearer's breasts and dampen an accelerating movement of the breast tissue, and a hydration system that comprises a hydration reservoir and a dispensing tube connected to the reservoir. The breast support garment further comprises a holder that is dimensioned to receive the reservoir of the hydration system and one or more guides to support the dispensing tube. The breast support garment of the present invention integrates the functions of a high support sports bra and a hydration vest or backpack.

A hydration scarf is provided to contain a beverage, and to be worn around the neck so as to make consumption of the beverage very convenient. The hydration scarf can be disposable, and can be sold pre-filled. The hydration scarf can have an included drinking straw assembly, or can have a fluid port for receiving a re-usable drinking straw assembly. The hydration scarf includes a U-shaped container portion including: a first hanging portion, a curved portion, a second hanging portion, and a fluid port. The drinking straw assembly includes: a drinking straw, and a port connector for removably connecting the second end of the straw to the fluid port. Also included is an internal tube assembly including: a first uptake tube, a second uptake tube, and a three-way connector in fluid communication with the fluid port, and directly connected to the first uptake tube and the second uptake tube.

A wearable weapon restraint system is provided. The system includes a cable having a proximal end and a distal end, a retractable cable reel configured to contain the cable and allow the cable to extend and/or retract relative to the retractable cable reel, and a conduit having a passageway extending along at least a portion of the conduit. The cable can be positioned such that at least a portion of the cable passes through the passageway of the conduit. The distal end of the cable can be coupled to a fastening device.

An integrated cooling and hydration vest, incorporating a vest like structure made from liquid impervious material, the vest having at least one chamber formed therein, the chamber being structured into an upper section and a bottom section, a divider provided between the upper and bottom sections, at least one aperture provided through the divider to allow frozen material deposited within the upper section as it melts to gravitate into the bottom section during usage, and a syphoning device operative being associated with said chamber to allow the user to extract the melted liquid from the bottom section for consumption during usage.

A hydration pack may comprise a main body formed from a warp-knit fabric. The main body may have a three-dimensional shape. The three-dimensional shape may define a cavity configured to store liquid. A portion of the main body may be folded and coupled with another portion of the main body. The folded portions may define a multilayer structure. The hydration pack may comprise an aperture configured to allow access to the liquid stored in the cavity. The hydration pack may comprise a material configured to create a compression gradient in the cavity. The hydration pack may comprise a section comprising a material having a higher modulus of elasticity than a material of another section of the hydration pack.

An apparel top for use by a user is worn about a user torso and a user waist. The top includes an outer shell portion having first and second panels, a back panel, shell outside and inside surfaces, and a bottom edge. The apparel top includes a snow gaiter having upper and lower gaiter edges, first and second gaiter ends, and gaiter inner and outer surfaces. The upper gaiter edge is attached to the outer shell portion at the shell inside surface and extends along the first front panel, the back panel and the second front panel. The lower gaiter edge is generally positionable about the user waist relative to the user torso with the lower gaiter edge extending away from the user torso. The top includes a liquid bladder sized and configured to be inflated with a liquid. The liquid bladder is attached to the snow gaiter.

A hydration sleeve can include: a band of sleeve material shaped and dimensioned to fit around a user's limb; a bladder pocket connected to the band of sleeve material; and opening extending into the bladder pocket to permit insertion of a hydration bladder into the bladder pocket; and a mouthpiece port extending through the band of sleeve material. Other embodiments and features, including single-use hydration bladders and garments incorporating hydration sleeves are described.

A technology bag allows its carrier to indulge in vaping or drinking inconspicuously, or deliver a burst of vapor externally, as in pepper spray for personal protection or scenting as used in hunting. The technology bag comprises various technology compartments for various technology components including technology tanks, bladders, tubes, and other associated attachments. The technology bag can also provide a safety releasable coupling such that the various technology will break-away easily if snagged or caught. In one embodiment the technology bag is a backpack. In other embodiments the technology bag could be a messenger bag, briefcase, knapsack, purse, or any over-the-shoulder style bag employing a shoulder strap. In each of these embodiments the shoulder strap is operable to provide the various functionalities of the technology bag.
