An interactive sweatband includes a center portion having a first end and an opposing second end. The sweatband includes a first wing portion that extends from and is operably engaged with the first end of the center portion. The sweatband includes a second wing portion that extends from and is operably engaged with the opposing second end of the center portion. The sweatband device may further include a front surface and an opposing rear surface. The sweatband may include an outflow channel that extends along and is defined by at least one of the front and opposing rear surface of the sweatband.

A cooling headband assembly for cooling a user's head includes a band that is insertable into a headband of a hat. In this way the band is in thermal communication with a user's head when the user wears the hat. A cooling media is integrated into the band. The cooling media is comprised of a thermally conductive material thereby facilitating the cooling media to be cooled when the band is positioned in a refrigerator. In this way the cooling media can cool the user's head when the user wears the hat.

One variation of a method for fabricating a dermal heatsink includes: fabricating a substrate defining an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and an open network of pores extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface; activating surfaces of the substrate and walls of the open network of pores; applying a coating over the substrate to form a heatsink, the coating comprising a porous, hydrophilic material and defining a void network; removing an excess of the coating from the substrate to clear blockages within the open network of pores by the coating; hydrating the heatsink during a curing period; heating the heatsink during the curing period to increase porosity of the coating applied over surfaces of the substrate; and rinsing the heatsink with an acid to decarbonate the coating along walls of the open network of pores in the substrate.

The present invention is related to a textile item (T) developed to be placed on the head of the health care providers.

The item is made of conventional fabrics but it has specific properties to be used in the hospital setting, outer layer composed of a semipermeable component, inner layer composed of a breathable and antimicrobial component, and preferably an intermediate layer with the function of an antimicrobial barrier.

Also, the presence of a pocket (P) simultaneously allows the user to store safely, and temporarily, small personal belongings.

So, the present invention belongs to the area of protective clothing for professional use, particularly in the hospital setting.

Moisture diverters attachable to a region above the eye and below the eyebrow that prevents sweat, liquid, moisture, or the like from entering the eyes of a wearer is described. A moisture diverter may include a substrate having an inner surface facing the wearer and an outer surface facing away from the wearer. The inner surface comprises a lower adhesive section and an upper adhesive-free section, the adhesive section releasably attaches the diverter to the wearer at a point above the eye and below the eyebrow, the adhesive-free section shaped or shapeable to abut or protrude from eyebrow region of a wearer and to divert moisture away from the eye.

A headwear insert system is provided comprising a headwear insert having a planar multilayered substrate with a first side and a second side. The planar multilayered substrate may comprise a substantially oblong shape with a rounded plateau protruding from a top portion of the planar multilayered substrate. The planar multilayered substrate may further comprise a polyester mesh layer, a stabilizing layer, an absorptive layer and a neoprene layer. The stabilizing layer and the absorptive layer may be disposed between the polyester mesh layer and the neoprene layer. A seam may couple the polyester mesh layer and the neoprene layer together. The stabilizing layer and the absorptive layer may not be coupled to the seam, the polyester mesh layer nor the neoprene layer.
