A method for assembling a garment portion including accessing a first garment portion, a second garment portion and a fixture, wherein the first garment portion is generally tubular and has two plies. The method further includes positioning the first garment portion on the fixture such that the fixture is positioned in the first garment portion, and wrapping the second garment portion about the first garment portion. The method further includes unrolling or unfolding at least part of the first garment portion over the second garment portion such that the second garment portion is positioned between the two plies of the first garment portion.

An article includes a first garment, a second garment, and a waterproof fastener system configured to join the first garment to the second. The waterproof fastener includes: a first annular gasket, coupled to the first garment, the first annular gasket including a flexible substrate and a continuous groove radially oriented on the first garment such that an engagement direction thereof is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first garment, and a second annular gasket coupled to the second garment, the second annular gasket including a second flexible substrate and a continuous rib radially oriented on the second garment such that an engagement direction thereof is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the second garment. The continuous groove is configured to receive the continuous rib to form a waterproof interference fit.

An article includes a first garment, a second garment, and a waterproof fastener system configured to join the first garment to the second. The waterproof fastener includes: a first annular gasket, coupled to the first garment, the first annular gasket including a flexible substrate and a continuous groove radially oriented on the first garment such that an engagement direction thereof is oriented 90 degrees relative to a longitudinal direction of the first garment, and a second annular gasket coupled to the second garment, the second annular gasket including a second flexible substrate and a continuous rib radially oriented on the second garment such that an engagement direction thereof is oriented 90 degrees relative to a longitudinal direction of the second garment. The continuous groove is configured to receive the continuous rib to form a waterproof interference fit.

The self-sealing closure system includes a flexible, overlapping, interlocking closure with a continuous backing membrane to provide a secure, durable, and redundantly impermeable barrier operated by finger pressure or by an optional easy-to-operate, zipper-like cursor, with an optional locking end cap.

Cuff frames and garments with cuff frames configured to receive an arm, a wrist, and a hand of a wearer. The cuff frames include a wall extending along and radially spaced from a longitudinal axis. The wall defines a wrist portion, a hand portion, and an arm portion. The wrist portion is radially spaced from the longitudinal axis at a first distance to define a wrist opening. The hand portion is longitudinally adjacent to the wrist portion and flares outwards from the wrist portion. The arm portion is longitudinally adjacent to the wrist portion opposite the hand portion and flares outwards from the wrist portion. The first distance is selected to enable the hand and the wrist of the wearer to pass through the wrist opening.

A protective garment system including a bib configured to fit around at least part of an upper portion of a torso of a wearer. The bib includes an outer material and a particulate-blocking material which is configured to be positioned between the outer material and a wearer when the bib is worn. The bib has a perimeter and is configured to be releasably attached to a pair of trousers about the perimeter.

A heating and cooling device is disclosed comprising at least one integral low voltage heating and cooling source and an efficient flexible heat distribution means having a thermal conductivity of from 375 to 4000 W/mK for distributing the heat and cool across a surface. Further aspects include thermal interface compounds to provide full thermal contact as well as the use of a phase change material to provide a long lasting heating and/or cooling effect without the use of external electrical input. Preferred applications include automotive and furniture seating heating and cooling, along with outdoor garments having distributed heating and cooling effects. Additional aspects include a thermal pad wrap and a thermally conductive liquid system for heat/cool distribution.

A connection structure of a waterproof overall contains: two trouser legs, two connection bands, two cloth rings, and two waterproof strips. The two connection bands are connected with two inner walls of two bottoms of the two trouser legs respectively and are made of a same waterproof material as two waterproof shoes. The two cloth rings are adhered on the two inner walls of the two bottoms of the two trouser legs below the two connection bands respectively by using glue. The two waterproof strips are adhered between the two cloth rings and the two connection bands individually by using the glue. The two waterproof shoes are connected with the two trouser legs by using the two connection bands individually, and the two cloth rings and the two waterproof strips separate the two waterproof shoes from the two trouser legs respectively, thus avoiding the glue contacting the overall.
