A cold weather survival suit includes a principal body cavity having pneumatically connected extensions to fit body extremities and a coverable cranial opening. The structure of the suit includes a layered structure of mechanically interconnected suits within suits. A composite of tear-proof and insulation material forms an internal suit or first envelope that is surrounded by a waterproof suit and then by a tear resistant suit.

A garment includes a torso portion adapted to cover a wearer's torso; a first sleeve extending from the torso portion at a proximal end of the first sleeve; a second sleeve extending from the torso portion at a proximal end of the second sleeve; a first flap spanning between the torso portion and the first sleeve; and a second flap spanning between the torso portion and the second sleeve. One or more openings along a side of the first flap adjacent to the torso portion and one or more openings along a side of the second flap adjacent to the torso portion are adapted to allow a personal flotation device vest to be secured to the garment.

A work suit having a lifesaving function is provided where the work suit is made of two or more sheets of fabric, at least one variable contact tube keeping air in an amount smaller than a maximum capacity is formed in the uppermost part of a side of the work suit that corresponds to the girth of the body of a wearer, and when the variable contact tube gets into water, air in a lower portion is moved up by water pressure such that the thickness of an upper portion changes to the thickness when the variable contact tube is fully filled with air, so the variable contact tube come is in close contact with the body of the wearer.

A personal survival system for use in water includes an inflatable chamber (9) and in inflation system (31) operable to inflate the inflatable chamber (9), wherein the inflation system (31) is mounted separately from and remotely from the inflatable chamber (9). Also disclosed are: a survival system for use in water includes an inflatable chamber including an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the inner layer is separate from the outer layer; an inflation control system for use with an in-water survival system, the inflation control system comprises a selectively sealable chamber configured to contain water-triggered automatic inflation device of the survival system; and a personal survival system including an inflatable bladder and a moulded cover constructed from a flexible polymer.

A comfortable buoyancy garment includes a main body, a first arm circle, a second arm circle. The main body has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion at two armpits thereof respectively. The first arm circle includes at least two first arm circle units, movably connected with the first connecting portion, any two adjacent of the first arm circle units are movably connected. The second arm circle includes at least two second arm circle units, movably connected with the second connecting portion, any two adjacent of the second arm circle units are movably connected. When a user wears the above comfortable buoyancy garment, the first arm circle units and the second arm circle units are convenient to wear and flexible to move, will not cause a burden on the user's activities, so as to enhance the comfort of wearing the buoyancy garment and reduce the burden when wearing them to move.

An improved personal flotation apparatus is presented. The personal flotation apparatus is a form-fitting body swimsuit garment having a plurality of uniformly sized and uniformly spaced cells configured to receive uniformly sized flotation material to enable a wearer to float while wearing the device.

A garment includes a torso portion adapted to cover a wearer's torso; a first sleeve extending from the torso portion at a proximal end of the first sleeve; a second sleeve extending from the torso portion at a proximal end of the second sleeve; a first flap spanning between the torso portion and the first sleeve; and a second flap spanning between the torso portion and the second sleeve. One or more openings along a side of the first flap adjacent to the torso portion and one or more openings along a side of the second flap adjacent to the torso portion are adapted to allow a personal flotation device vest to be secured to the garment.

A slide fastener pan includes a multiplicity of sequentially arranged fastening element locations (SOB), extending from a start position (A) to an end position (B), and a fastening element (35B) at respective oues of the locations (SOB), the slide fastener part being configured for attachment to and detachment from an oppositely positioned associated slide fastener part having a multiplicity of sequentially arranged fastening elements (35A) by the movement of a sliding element (12), the attachment being by abutment of abutment portions of oppositely positioned ones of fastening elements (35A, 35B), wherein the first-mentioned multiplicity of sequentially arranged fastening element locations (30B) include a plurality of adjacent ones of the locations (30B)′, between the start position (A) to the end position (B), that are modified so as to provide a region (40) between the start position and the end position at which the attached slide fastener parts are relatively easily separated. The slide fastener part carries a flexible strip (60A) that extends over the fastening locations (30B, 30B)′ and is configured to abut a corresponding flexible strip (60A) of the oppositely positioned associated slide fastener part.

A wader suit system, including a personal flotation device (PFD), that helps to maintain body temperature of a wearer in extreme conditions is disclosed. The wader suit system includes a heated jacket system having an upper liner. The upper liner connects beneath the heated jacket system. The upper liner includes a first micro-wire. The heated jacket system includes a control panel. The wader suit system further includes a lower section having a chest portion and legs. The lower section encompasses a lower liner having a second micro-wire. The second micro-wire connects to the control panel. The heated jacket system connects over the lower section. Alternatively, the heated jacket system connects beneath the lower section. The control panel allows the wearer to control the temperature of said first micro-wire and said second micro-wire for maintaining body temperature of the wearer in the extreme conditions such as in water and freezing conditions.

The present disclosure relates, in one aspect of the disclosure, to an inflatable water sport safety garment for providing buoyancy to a wearer comprising a harness structure, at least one handle, and at least one inflatable flotation device. The harness structure may include at least two shoulder portions, at least one torso portion encircling the torso of the wearer and attached to the shoulder portions, and at least one central portion connected to the shoulder portions.
