An adjustable connector strap may include two interlocking bodies, wherein one body includes a plurality of teeth located along opposing edges, and the other body includes a plurality of notches located along opposing edges. The user may select the number of teeth that are mated with the notches to adjust the size of the strap. The use of interlocking teeth and notches along the opposed edges of the strap bodies may enhances the ability of the strap to maintain its interlocking strength during tension loads. The teeth and notch engagement may also allow a user to quickly engage or disengage the strap bodies, thereby enhancing the ease-of-use of the strap.

A hat with increased resistance to lift includes a crown forming a generally hemispherical portion configured to cover a head of a person. A visor extends outwardly from the crown in a generally horizontal direction and is configured to provide shade. The visor includes an aperture and a mesh material arranged in the aperture and attached to the visor at edges of the aperture. Alternately, the visor includes a visor board and N holes passing through the visor board, where N is an integer in a range from 4 to 100. The mesh material and/or the N holes equalize pressure on a bottom surface relative to a top surface of the visor by allowing air to pass from the bottom surface through the mesh material to the top surface.

A protective clothing device having an article of clothing having an inner layer and/or an outer layer is disclosed. The protective clothing device may have thin force absorbing members coupled to the inner layer or outer layer of the article of clothing. The force absorbing members can have overlapping or interlaced portions for enhanced protection even when the protective clothing device expands. In one embodiment, the protective clothing device may be a protective hat. In another embodiment, the protective clothing device may be a headband.

A Bharatnatyam headgear comprising a wearable hair net, the hair net being pliable and expandable to be worn over a dancer's head and covering the head, the wearable hair net matching a color of the dancer's hair. A circular piece is affixed to the hair net. The circular piece is capable of being positioned in a middle of a forehead at a forward end of the hair partition of the dancer. A forehead piece is affixed to the hair net, the forehead piece extending in a horizontal direction capable of being positioned to coincide with a hairline in a left and right direction and extending at least beyond eyebrows of the dancer. A vertical piece is affixed to the hair net, the vertical piece being attached to the circular piece and extending across a middle of the head to cover the hair partition.

A head cover that can be worn by health care professionals is provided. The head cover includes a surgical cap portion and a bouffant cap portion. The surgical cap portion includes a top surface and a side panel secured to the top surface via a seam. Further, the bouffant cap portion is secured to a rear portion of the side panel, where the bouffant cap portion is maintained against the rear portion of the side panel in an undeployed state and is deployable from the rear portion of the side panel to contain a wearer's hair. As such, the head cover enables a wearer to secure his or her hair inside the bouffant cap as needed, yet bouffant cap portion does not cover the wearer's entire head, which minimizes the amount of heat that is trapped within the head cover and increases the level of comfort for the wearer.

A headwrap provides fastening mechanisms for covering, protecting, and retaining the hair of a wearer. A fabric panel forming the headwrap may be defined by a head covering, a crown circumscribing the head covering, and a tail extending rearwardly from the crown and having an internal volume able to contain and cover the hair of the wearer. Left and right straps affixed to a base of the tail enable a wearer to tension the straps about the crown to tighten the head covering over the head, tying the straps off at the front of the crown. A loop affixed to a terminus of the tail enables a user to draw the tail forward and hang the loop off a button affixed about the crown on the forehead.
