A batter hand guard may include a hand back portion configured to cover at least metacarpal bones of ring, middle and index fingers of the hand on the back side of the hand, a wrist back extension extending from the hand back portion and configured to cover a back of an ulna and a back of a radius of a forearm, and a wrist side extension extending sideways from the wrist back extension. The wrist side extension is formed from a moldable and hardenable material configured to wrap about the ulna from the back side to the palm side of the forearm.

An enhanced garment and method of using the same is characterized by a garment that provides for one or more grip pads to be secured onto or integrated into the garment at locations where the grip pads may be advantageous to the user. In some embodiments, the positioning of the grip pads on or within the garment may correspond to locations wherein friction, cushioning, or other advantage is desired. When in use, the present invention may provide that the user may grip objects more securely, manipulate objects equipment more efficiently, or otherwise perform tasks in a desired way.

The present invention relates to a wrist guard and provides a wrist guard that does not pressurize the entire wrist portion but allows for pressurizing only the radius portion and the ulna portion, thereby not only performing a wrist protection function in a stable manner, but also not hindering blood circulation since other portions of the wrist are not pressurized, and thus may be conveniently used since side-effects such as hand numbness or hand swelling do not occur even when wearing same for a long period, and the position and thickness of a pressurizing pad for pressurizing the radius portion and the ulna portion of the wrist may be adjusted according to the needs of a user, and thus the wrist guard may be more conveniently used since same may be altered into an optimal state according to physical conditions of the user or environmental conditions.

Protective sports garments are provided that include integrated cut-resistant panels located adjacent to relatively vulnerable parts of a user's body. A shirt garment may include integrated cut-resistant panels around the end cuffs of each sleeve, and such integrated cut-resistant panels may help prevent cutting injuries from a hockey skate blade or other object. The location(s) of the integrated cut-resistant panels may be selected to provide additional protection that complements protection already provided by other protective equipment, such as elbow pads, arm pads, or other padding or armor that may be worn. Additionally, in some cases, described garments may provide a pad securement mechanism that may help to secure certain pads in place relative to the garment. In other examples, protective pants are provided that include one or more cut-resistant panels, such as cut-resistant panels in a lower back leg portion to provide protection to a player's Achilles tendon area.

The present invention relates to a wrist protecting band. The present invention provides a wrist protecting band wherein: a compression pad is used to compress only an ulna part and a radius part of the wrist toward the center of the wrist, thereby enabling the band to prevent side effects such as hand tingling or hand swelling and stably perform a wrist protecting function; and a mutual coupling force between compression members pivotably coupled to each other is controlled by a user's manipulation so as to control compression load applied to the ulna part and radius part of the wrist, thereby enabling the band to be more conveniently and optimally used according to user needs.

A fingerless computer input glove that can slide easily on a mouse pad, thereby enabling longer game play and longer work sessions using a computer mouse or trackball, without discomfort or fatigue. The fingerless computer input glove employs various sizes and numbers of glides to enable each user to customize the glove according to one's individual style of use, such as adjusting wrist angle. The fingerless computer input glove includes a palm panel having an attachment surface, a back panel joined to the palm panel, a thumb opening portion joined to both the palm panel and to the back panel, a wrist portion joined to the palm panel and to the back panel, the wrist portion having a wrist securement strap, and at least one glide attachable to the attachment surface of the palm panel OR a neoprene rubber pad attachable to the attachment surface of the palm panel.

Disclosed is a wearable thermal protection and perspiration management apparatus that includes a two-ply composite main body and an inner layer of elastic material. The two-ply main body includes an outer layer made of moisture absorbent material and an interior layer made of moisture wicking material this is arranged in contact with the outer layer of moisture absorbent material. The interior layer provides a moisture barrier which is adapted for preventing captured moisture from contacting a wearer's body. The inner layer of elastic material is adapted and configured to secure the two-ply composite main body in contact with the wearer's body. Preferably, the two-ply composite main body has a Thermal Protective Performance rating of greater than 35 cal/cm.sup.2.

A strip of material includes a plurality of protrusions extending from the sheet. The protrusions in a local area cooperate to resist a force placed on the local area of the strip.

Provided is a wrist guard designed to press the radial and ulnar parts of a wrist toward the center of the wrist by means of a compression pad, so as to prevent side effects, such as hand numbness and swelling and effectively provide a fixing force of the wrist, thereby preventing the wrist from being excessively bent and alleviating wrist pain. The wrist guard allows a user to adjust the pressure load on the radial and ulnar parts of the wrist. It is possible to smoothly insert and assemble the pressing member into a coupling body, therefore improving operational feeling, the wrist guard may be stably used, and damage due to interference can be prevented. A stable pulling operation prevents wear and damage. As an excessive pressure load on the radial and ulnar regions is attenuated, the wrist guard is more convenient and comfortable.
