A novel multi-directional flexible dynamically adjustable protection apparatus for use in protecting a user in a manner which provides relief from mechanical forces via both direct impact and mechanical forces when the user moves.

Disclosed herein are wearable articles and methods for the manufacture and use thereof. The wearable articles can comprise compression elements, gripping elements, and support elements containing a rate-sensitive material which can operate to prevent injury.

Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a particulate protective article. An example particulate protective article includes one or more structural sections that are formed of a primary material and one or more protective sections connected with the one or more structural sections so as to form an article of clothing. Each protective section is formed of a particulate blocking or filtering material. In an instance in which the article is worn by a user, the one or more protective sections shield one or more corresponding areas of the user's superficial lymphatic system from particulate matter. In some embodiments, the article is formed as a shirt so as to shield the torso, armpits, and/or neck of the user. In other embodiments, the article is formed as an undergarment so as to shield the groin, lower abdomen, and/or buttocks of the user.

Composite breathing cloth for sporting garments that comprises at least one layer having a yarn construction and that is provided with a multiplicity of filaments joining two upper and lower layers of said intermediate portion; said yarn construction being applied to upper and lower fabric layers constituting the cloth, by gluing and/or thermobonding and/or stitching. The cloth is suitable for the construction of bottoms for cycling shorts. Between the upper and/or lower layers of fabric and the yarn construction layer, one or more layers of foam can also be inserted, according to the methods already adopted in the prior art for constructing bottoms.

The invention involves a pair of adaptive pants. In exemplary embodiments, the adaptive pants include a waistband having a drawstring and no buttons or belt loops. Moreover, at least one of the pair of legs extending from the waistband include an inseam pocket. Furthermore, ventilation ports may be included at an interior or seam region on each pant leg, or alternatively behind the knee area of each pant leg. Additionally, a posterior ventilation may be provided at a rear section of the adaptive pants situated between the waistband and the pair of legs. In exemplary embodiments, an elongated fly connects or attaches the pair of legs and the waistband. In some exemplary embodiments, the waistband comprises a first material and the pair of legs comprise of a second material.

An impact plate system is provided herein comprising a textile layer comprising at least a first surface and an elastically resilient material. The system further comprises a moldable plate coupled to the first surface of the textile layer. The moldable plate comprises a polymeric material having a tensile strength within the range of 40 MPa to 50 MPa, according to ASTM D638 standards.

Disclosed herein is an outdoor garment that may include a trousers element having at least one first layer of material and a half-skirt element suitable for forming a rear half-skirt above the trousers element. The trousers element may include a front region, two lateral regions, a rear region, two lower regions, and a crotch region interconnecting the two lower regions. The half-skirt element may be shaped and dimensioned to transversally extend only from one lateral region to another, and to cover central and lower terminal parts of the buttocks, while leaving the front region of the trousers element free and visible for covering the central front part of the pelvis. The half-skirt element may be of a second layer of material separated from the first layer of material of the trousers element.

A wearable garment with temperature control, that has a garment made of stretch material, having an upper waistband at a top, and a lower section at a bottom, the garment sized to extend around an upper torso of an individual, and the garment having side seams extending along the garment between the upper waistband and the lower section along two sides of the garment, the garment having a first pocket on a first side, and a second pocket on a second side, an inner insulation in each of said first and second pockets, and an outer insulation layer in each of said first and second pockets.

Disclosed herein are wearable articles and methods for the manufacture and use thereof. The wearable articles can comprise compression elements, gripping elements, and support elements containing a rate-sensitive materials which can operate to prevent injury.

The present invention relates to a novel padded shapewear garment device. The device comprises a pair of padded pants. The pants are preferably relaxed-fit pants made from a flexible fabric material. The device comprises contoured padding built into the lining of the pants. Typically, the padding is positioned on the buttocks and hip areas of the pants. The padding also offers shaping or shapewear benefits to the user and may encircle the entire hip area. Further, one embodiment of the device comprises a pair of padded pants with side pockets.
