Substrates with transparency to infrared body radiation and opacity in the visible light spectrum are provided and systems and methods for creation thereof are provided. The IR radiation transparent substrate is IR radiation transparent and visible light opaque with enough breathability and softness to make it suitable for use in garments for body thermal regulation. Further, the IR radiation transparent substrate is created utilizing nanofiber technology to form specific sized micro pores between the nanofibers.

A cap according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed of a crown portion formed by connecting a plurality of panels, a brim portion attached to a lower end of the crown portion, and a sweat absorbing portion attached to an inner lower end of the crown portion, and at least two adjacent panels among the plurality of panels are connected to each other by sewing and ultrasonic wave processing.

A textile laminate as described herein comprises a water vapor permeable outward facing protective membrane comprising an inner surface and an outer surface and a textile attached to the inner surface of the membrane, wherein the textile has a surface having a pattern of high regions and low regions. The outer surface of the membrane has a surface topography comprising a pattern of high and low regions that are dimensionally coordinated with a pattern of high and low regions on the surface of the textile.

Herein is disclosed a protective balaclava. The balaclava may include a layer of foam, which may bear certain non-Newtonian properties, such as hardening in response to impact. To a wearer of such a balaclava, the risk of concussion in response to collision, for example, is significantly reduced. The balaclava may be worn in conjunction with other protective wear, such as a helmet. The balaclava may include various features to permit a snug fit between the foam and the human form, even though the balaclava may be sized according to head size. The balaclava may include sensors that record linear and angular acceleration, such as linear and angular acceleration of the head, along with sensors recording other data. The sensors may be coupled to a microcontroller that may be coupled to a transceiver, which may transmit such data to permit it to be accessed to evaluate concussion risk, among other purposes.

Devices, systems, and apparatuses are provided for enhanced hair covering. An enhanced covering device may include a first outer layer made of a first material type. The enhanced covering device may include a second inner layer disposed inside the first layer, wherein the second layer is made of a second material type. The enhanced covering device may include an elastic band situated on an interior of the hair covering device at a first edge, wherein the elastic band permits air out of the hair covering device while preventing air from flowing back into the interior of the hair covering device.

The present invention is used to adjust the size of a cap that has approximately half-circle of no cap material in the rear of the cap. There are two fixed multi-point locking straps and each is attached to the inside of the sweatband on each side of the approximately half circle of no cap material. There is one removable multi-point locking strap across the space between the sides of the half-circle of no cap material in the rear of the cap. The ends of the removable strap are attached to the fixed straps by inserting one or more protrusions into one or more holes. In one embodiment, the fixed straps are male multi-point locking straps with protrusions and the removable strap is a female multi-point locking strap with holes. In another embodiment, the fixed straps are female multi-point locking straps with holes and the removable strap is a male multi-point locking strap with protrusions.
