Embodiments provide apparel products. The apparel products each include a major component forming a base portion of the apparel product. The major component is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The apparel product includes a minor component forming a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component. An adhesive is disposed at least partially between a portion of the major component and a portion of the minor component. The adhesive includes a polymer having a cyclodextrin moiety bonded to an azobenzene moiety.

A segmented diving suit includes a base layer and a plurality of composite plates arranged on the base layer in a configuration designed to avoid joints or other anatomical features that bend. The composite plates include a spheres or microspheres dispersed/embedded in a carrier polymer. The spheres or microspheres provide one or more of thermal protection, sonic/blast resistance, and ballistic protection.

Disclosed embodiments include a layered garment for men. The layered garment includes one or more engineered portions configured to hold and support the genital region of the male body. The engineered portions may include a pocket for holding the genital region and a liner for sealing the genital region inside the pocket.

Separator devices and garments comprising separator devices are provided herein. In some aspects, a separator device can comprise a base surface, a front surface, a top end, a bottom end, a first side surface, and a second side surface. In some aspects, the top end has a generally trapezoid shape with a rounded front edge. In some aspects, the separator devices described herein can comprise perforations (through-holes) for breathability.

A protective guard for a hand, finger or thumb includes a first thermoplastic layer heat welded to second thermoplastic layer. The second thermoplastic layer has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the first thermoplastic layer.

The disclosed garments are designed to address the need for thin, lightweight garments that adequately conceal undergarments and imperfections when in use. Particularly, the garments can conceal the garment’s construction, skin imperfections such as cellulite or tattoos, or the color of undergarments despite having a light-colored outer appearance. Methods of making the garments and the concealing material are also disclosed herein.

A headpiece apparatus comprising of a headband member having a frontal holster, a removable 3D printed component secured to said frontal holster of said headband, and an elastic cord with one end anchored within a ball and the other end entering through said 3D printed component, circumventing said headband before and finally exiting out the said 3D printed component. The said 3D printed component which was created with thermoplastic elastomer, holsters a barrel lock which enables the user to freely change the length of the elastic cord to their preference.

The various embodiments herein provide a multi-fabric apparel comprising a first fabric, a second fabric and a third fabric. The first fabric forms an upper surface of the apparel. The second fabric is stitched to the first fabric and forms a lower surface of the apparel. The third fabric is stitched between the first fabric and the second fabric forming an intermediate layer. The third fabric comprises a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is stitched between the first fabric and the second fabric, and the second layer is stitched to a second surface of the second fabric in a way that the second fabric is sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer.

A protective hand covering has a flexible shell with an open end and a closed end, and a constricted region between the open and closed ends. The constricted region defines a passage for receiving the child's hand. The hand covering may be worn by an infant or small child during sleeping or other activities, A gripping material is disposed on an inside surface of the shell at the constricted region and around the passage. The gripping material has a coefficient of friction higher than a coefficient of friction of the material of the flexible shell, such that the hand covering is discouraged from coming off of the child's hand.
