A moisture management fabric using denier differential to facilitate the movement of sweat away from the wearer's body is presented. An exemplary moisture management support garment constructed from an exemplary moisture management fabric is presented. An exemplary moisture management support garment is a moisture transporting sport bra. A denier differential is employed to provide superior moisture transporting and evaporation of perspiration from a wearer during exertion. The denier differential relies upon a facing layer and a back layer with substantially different yarn thickness and fabric porosity to achieve fluid transport.

The invention provides for an infant bodysuit (10) of multi-layer construction which includes a fabric layer (30) laminated to the inside of the infant bodysuit (10) which fabric layer (30) may consist of a substantially water proof membrane (32) which operatively serves to retain moisture on the inside thereof and allow transfer of moisture through the membrane and evaporation thereof on the outside of the membrane, characterised in that the membrane is an imperforate monolithic membrane that may be selected to provide a transfer mechanism for moisture which includes the steps of absorption of moisture on one side of the membrane where there may be higher humidity, diffusion through the membrane, and desorption of moisture on the other side of the membrane where there may be lower humidity.

A moisture protective bib comprised of dry fit technological textile. The moisture block composition decreases the likelihood of moisture moving from the wearer to wearer's clothing and skin beneath clothing. The garment keeps the front of the wearer's clothes dry. Neck section covers the upper torso; two collar fasteners extend bilateral. Each fastener has one of a complementary set of fastener at the end to secure collar around the neck of the wearer.

An article including one or more moisture wicking layers and one or more fibrous layers. The fibrous layers may have generally vertically oriented fibers, which may be oriented generally perpendicularly to a surface having or producing moisture. The article may be adapted to remove moisture form the surface having or producing moisture. The article may be breathable. The article may be quick drying. The article may provide cushioning. The article may be a wearable item.

A double layer garment including a first inner layer, worn next to the skin, that is at least in part made of a natural fiber (e.g., cotton) and a second outer layer that is made of a synthetic fiber (e.g., spandex). The natural fiber inner layer and the synthetic fiber outer layer are seamlessly knitted together without seams to form the two layers.

The present disclosure provides articles of manufacture with improved moisture control as well as methods of making such articles. In some embodiments, provided herein the article has a fabric with an outer hydrophobic surface and an inner surface with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions where the hydrophilic regions can form a pattern, allowing moisture to collect and move through the pattern, and the hydrophobic regions prevent the whole inner surface from becoming moist and the outer hydrophobic regions does not show moisture. The fabric may be used to make garments. The entire inner surface of the garment may be patterned with hydrophilic patterns for partial absorption, and the entire outer surface of the garment is hydrophobic, thereby preventing perspiration from being seen from outside of the garment. Further provided herein are methods of making fabrics with improved moisture control including by printing or knitting.

An athletic garment includes sensors at different locations of the garment. The sensors are electrically coupled to a processing unit and/or a power source via one or more conduits that are printed onto the garment. The conduits are designed for improved flexibility to accommodate stretching in the garment that occurs as a user wearing the garment performs an exercise and for improved durability to resist corrosion due to friction, sweat, or washing of the garment. In one embodiment, the conduits are designed for decreased stress concentrations at seams of the garment. In one embodiment, the conduits are designed to create a conductive pathway between different surfaces of the garment to electrically couple sensors on a first side (skin side) of the garment and a processing unit and/or a power source on a second side (outer side) of the garment.

A bib system includes a bib and a collar system. The bib includes a panel that is configured to protect clothing and includes an opening defined therethrough that is configured to receive a neck of a person. The panel has an inner surface that is configured to face the person when the bib is secured thereto and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The collar system is secured to the inner surface of the panel about the opening and is configured to fold over clothing of the person such that a portion the clothing is isolated between the collar system and the inner surface of the bib.

Provided is a composite textile sheet that can be used as a fabric for manufacturing a disposable textile product that exhibits an excellent moisture transpiration property and does not cause a stuffy feeling or sticky feeling when worn. Also provided are a disposable textile product that uses the composite textile sheet, a glove and a raincoat as a disposable textile product, and a method for manufacturing a disposable textile product.

A composite textile sheet 1 is made from a multi-ply sheet 15 that is formed by laminating a textile sheet 2 or 3 having air permeability and a textile material sheet 4 having liquid diffusibility. The textile sheet 2 or 3 and the textile material sheet 4 are in mutual contact, and in a plane of mutual contact, a bonded region 30 in which the textile sheet and the textile material sheet are bonded, and a non-bonded region 8 in which the textile sheet and the textile material sheet are not bonded, are formed. The non-bonded region 8 includes a space section 9. A moisture transpiration path is formed, and, through the moisture transpiration path, the space section 9, a textile gap of the textile sheet 2 or 3, and a textile gap of the textile material sheet 4 mutually communicate.

The present disclosure relates to a molded cup bra having a first bra cup portion and a second bra cup portion adapted to accommodate breasts of a user. The molded cup bra further includes a first fabric layer adapted to absorb perspiration that is at least adjacent to a skin surface of the user when the molded cup bra is worn, and a second fabric layer provided on inner side of said molded cup bra adapted to reprieve the skin surface of the user from the impact of synthetic materials touching the skin.
