A protective clothing device having an article of clothing having an inner layer and/or an outer layer is disclosed. The protective clothing device may have thin force absorbing members coupled to the inner layer or outer layer of the article of clothing. The force absorbing members can have overlapping or interlaced portions for enhanced protection even when the protective clothing device expands. In one embodiment, the protective clothing device may be a protective hat. In another embodiment, the protective clothing device may be a headband.

An impact plate system is provided herein comprising a moldable plate having center, a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface and the second surface define a thickness therebetween. The thickness is between 4 mm and 7 mm. The moldable plate is defined by a perimeter edge, which comprises one or more curved corners having a predetermined radius of curvature between 18 mm to 28 mm.

The application provides a sports pants. The advantageous effect of the application is to set a knee protection portion and a popliteal fossa portion, which are convenient for human body to wear and improve wearing comfort. The popliteal fossa portion corresponds to the popliteal fossa of the human body to ensure the comfort of human wearing, and the knee protection portion corresponds to the knee of the human body. The double-layer fabric structure is adopted for the knee protection portion, and the cross stitch structure is provided on the front side of the outer fabric layer of the knee protection portion. The cross stitch structure can improve the wrapping strength of the inner fabric layer of the knee protection portion. After bending or squatting, it is conducive to the recovery of the knee and enhance the protection of the knee.

Prior art protective equipment addresses primarily the upper body whilst in several sports, recreational activities the lower body is subjected to the most traumatic impacts which occur to the buttocks, coccyx, hips, shins, knees etc. Accordingly, there is a need for protective garments for the lower body tailored to the requirements of these sports. Embodiments of the present garment address this whilst also providing garments which include integrated protective elements targeting specific body regions where subset of these protective elements are either configurable to the user by virtue of being inflatable or provide additional functionality such as heating. Further, the integration of sensors and electronics allows data acquisition, alarms, closed-loop feedback of the heating/inflation etc.

Disclosed is a wearable thermal protection and perspiration management apparatus that includes a two-ply composite main body and an inner layer of elastic material. The two-ply main body includes an outer layer made of moisture absorbent material and an interior layer made of moisture wicking material this is arranged in contact with the outer layer of moisture absorbent material. The interior layer provides a moisture barrier which is adapted for preventing captured moisture from contacting a wearer's body. The inner layer of elastic material is adapted and configured to secure the two-ply composite main body in contact with the wearer's body. Preferably, the two-ply composite main body has a Thermal Protective Performance rating of greater than 35 cal/cm.sup.2.

A protective pad for protection from impact and a protective garment using the protective pad may be provided. In one implementation, the protective pad may include a foam part and a plate part. The foam part may include a plurality of channels, a plurality of cutout portions, and a plate accommodating section for receiving the plate part. The channels may be formed in a first surface of the foam part and the plate accommodating section may be formed in a second surface opposite to the first surface. The cutout portions of the foam part may include through-holes formed in the foam part from the first surface to the second surface. The plate part may be arranged on the plate accommodating section of the foam part, and the plate part may include a plurality of cutout portions that are substantially aligned with the cutout portions of the foam part.

An apparel for athletic training is presented. The apparel is useful for helping to reduce fungal and bacterial infections resulting from most athletic apparel. The apparel may also be useful by enhancing low extremity circulation thus helping to preventing varicose veins while protecting the knees, tail bone and hips from trauma. The athletic training apparel 100 is preferably made of antimicrobial fabric. The apparel may have a knee pad to protect each knee, hip pads to protect the hips and a tail bone pad for protecting the tail bone of a trainee. Further a first and second footing for providing security and comfort while training may have a carbon fiber covering for the bottom of each of the footings.
