A tactical torso tool carrier and networked control and communication system is disclosed, wherein a tactical torso tool carrier device includes a main unit configured to be worn on the torso of a person, the main unit including a housing having a docking station configured to securely attach a removable tool module, wherein the tactical torso tool carrier device facilitates communications between personnel and systems operably associated with the tactical toro tool carrier and networked control and communication system.

An article holding device for self-defense weapons and personal items includes a strap, which defines a loop. A head and a first shoulder of a user are insertably into the loop so that the strap rests on a second shoulder of the user, with the strap extending transversely from the second shoulder to proximate to an opposed hip of the user. A plurality of pouches is engaged to the strap. A respective item, such as a phone, keys, or an aerosol self-defense spray cannister, is insertable into each pouch so that the item is removably engaged to the strap. A sheath is engaged to the strap. An elongated self-defense weapon, such as a baton, is insertable into an open end of the sheath so that the elongated self-defense weapon is removably engaged to the strap.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to yoga mats. In one example, a yoga mat preserver is disclosed, which includes a perimeter with dimensions substantially similar to a yoga mat, and a thickness substantially less than a thickness of the yoga mat. For this example, at least one component of the yoga mat preserver comprises a moisture absorbent material. In another example, a yoga mat carrier is disclosed, which includes a first end configured to wrap around a circumference of a first end of a rolled yoga mat, and a second end configured to wrap around a circumference of a second end of the rolled yoga mat. The yoga mat carrier further includes a strap in which a first end is attached to the first end of the yoga mat carrier, and a second end is attached to the second end of the yoga mat carrier.

Disclosed are shoulder belt sliding-down preventing method, and a related preventing tool, shoulder belt, and bag. The belt-shaped neck hanging element is connected to a belt at positions separated from each other via connecting members. A loop-shaped space is thereby formed between the belt body and the neck-hanging element. The head passes through this space, and the neck hanging element contacts the side of the neck. In operation, the connecting member is removed and held with one hand, the belt body is hung on the shoulder, the connecting member is passed around the back of the neck, the neck hanging element is hung around the neck, and the connecting member is engaged again with the belt body. The belt body of the shoulder bag can hang on the shoulder and the neck hanging element can be wound around the neck, thereby preventing the belt body from sliding down the shoulder.

A binocular harness system having a pair of shoulder straps, a pair of upper torso straps, and a carrying pouch. The carrying pouch has a main body and a removable hood. The front side of the main body has a loop fastener panel that extends laterally across the front side. The hood has a front panel, a secondary panel that is configured to form a back and two sides of the hood, and an elongated pocket that extends along a rear edge and at least a portion of each side edge of the secondary panel. The elongated pocket contains a rod, and an elastomeric cord passes through a central bore in the rod, side portions of the elongated pocket, loops situated on either side of the back side of the main body, and conduits made of nylon webbing situated on or proximate to the bottom panel of the main body.

A duty belt includes a belt and a buckle. A first fixed belt end is rigidly secured to the belt, and a second free belt end having longitudinally-distributed recesses is releasably engaged with at least one rigid buckle pin via at least one recess in the closed state of the duty belt. In the closed state, the free end is guided through a buckle opening and overlaps with the fixed end. The buckle has two perpendicularly and longitudinally offset buckle plates such that a connection element with precisely one opening for passing through the belt is between the two plates. The first plate inner face has a securing device securing the fixed end to the buckle while the second plate inner face has the at least one rigid pin so that one plate is constantly visible from outside in the closed state regardless of which belt side lies outside.
