The invention relates to systems for temperature and humidity monitoring under garments and is characterized by that it contains at least one internal electronic module located under the garment and an external electronic module with sensors for temperature and humidity monitoring, storage devices connected to the electronic modules wirelessly (for example, via Bluetooth), and the receiving device, which provides the user with the possibility to monitor the current temperature and humidity of the observed object.

The P.A.C.K is designed to provide the individual with continuous refreshing air during extreme weather. The P.A.C.K mounts a fan pointed upward towards the users' body. The innovative aspect of the P.A.C.K is that it is a “hands free” portable device that allows the user to be active all the while with both hands available for work unlike the existing devices that requires the use of one hand limiting the activity of the user. This is achieved by attaching the unit to the users' pant belt. The P.A.C.K has an element guard that channels the air towards the body.

Implementations of a clothing article with an integrated thermal regulation system are provided. An example clothing article with an integrated thermal regulation system is configured to heat a portion of a wearer's body by transferring heat from a warmer first region of the body (e.g., the calf portion of the leg or wrist portion of the arm) to a cooler second region (e.g., the plantar side of the toes or the dorsal side of the fingers). The transfer of heat is facilitated by a thermally conductive fluid that flows between a first thermal transfer bag in heat exchange contact with the warmer first region of the wearer's body and a second thermal transfer bag that is in heat exchange contact with the cooler second region. The thermal transfer bags being held in position by the clothing article into which they have been integrated.

The invention relates to a method for monitoring or visualizing the running speed (v) of an athlete (1). To determine the running speed of the athlete in an easy manner the proposed method comprises the steps: a) Providing a piece of garment (2) or a shoe (2′), which are worn by the athlete (1) during miming, wherein the piece of garment (2) or the shoe (2′) is provided with a coating (3) applied at an outer surface (4) of the piece of garment (2) or the shoe, wherein the coating (3) comprises at least one thermochromic dye or at least one liquid crystal, or wherein the piece of garment (2) or the shoe (2′) is made at least partially of a material, especially by a yarn, which comprises at least one thermochromic dye or at least one liquid crystal; b) Monitoring the color (C.sub.1, C.sub.2, C.sub.3) of the at least one thermochromic dye or liquid crystal during running of the athlete (1); c) Evaluating the running speed (v) of the athlete (1) on the basis of the actual color (C.sub.1, C.sub.2, C.sub.3) of the at least one thermochromic dye or liquid crystal. Furthermore, the invention relates to an athletic garment or shoe.

Aspects herein are directed to garments that incorporate adaptive stand-off structures in the form of fluid-filled bladders that transition from a first shape to a second shape when exposed to moisture in the form of, for example, perspiration. When the fluid-filled bladders are in the first shape, the fluid-filled bladders are generally planar with a surface plane of a textile layer forming the garment so that the garment comes into contact or near contact with the wearer's body surface. When the fluid-filled bladders are in the second shape, they extend in a z-direction away from the surface plane of the textile layer forming the garment such that the textile layer is spaced apart from the wearer's body surface by the stand-off structures to reduce cling and facilitate the evaporation of perspiration.

A self-contained, wearable, temperature-regulating cooling or heating garment for ambulatory and mobile use includes a water pump, valve, and heater powered by a battery operable to circulate potable water through a network of flexible tubing, to provide cooling or heating parts of a user's body such as the user's head, neck, arms or torso. A push-button control provides adjustment of a pump, flow valve, and temperature. The garment includes a drinking nozzle for providing potable water during use of the garment.
