Described herein are sweat-diverting devices which can be adhered to a wearer by an adhesive. The sweat-diverting devices described here may be adhered over a portion of the face without circumscribing the head. Such sweat-diverting devices may comprise a first leg and a second leg that are joined at a base of the device to form a channel therebetween, where at least a portion of the base is more rigid than the first and second legs such that an acute angle between the first and second legs is maintained when the sweat-diverting device is applied on a wearer's forehead. In some variations, the thickness of the base is greater than the thickness of either of the legs, which may help to maintain a separation between the tips of the legs even when the sweat-diverting device is applied to a wearer's forehead.

A material system with a plurality of panels, process of making, and methods of use are presented herein. The material system provides a plurality of panels that can be reconfigured in various ways so that a clean surface is made available to a user with minimal effort. Generally speaking, a burp cloth with a plurality of panels and an attachment feature is presented such that when a liquid is dispelled during a burping session, the contaminated panel used can be easily removed such that a clean panel is readily available.

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 removable, attachable, and disposable sweatband strip that adheres directly to a body part so as to absorb sweat therefrom without having to wrap around or circumscribe that or other body parts.

A multilayer fabric for selectively blocking or transmitting particular wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, such solar radiation, and far infrared (FIR) radiation. The multilayer fabric may include a microporous water vapor permeable layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths depending on the size of its pores. In some embodiments, the multilayer fabric may include a nanostructured layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths.

The present invention relates generally to the field of foundation garments for a use on a portion of a leg, such as a thigh and buttocks. The garment is made from a compression material that improves the look of the leg area of the wearer under clothing. Further, the top edge of the garment provides a natural lift and support to the lower buttocks area of the user. In addition, the garment can include a plurality of elastic bands which aid in retaining the garment on the leg or lower buttocks area of the wearer.

An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a thermal regulation composition is obtained comprising a binder, a cooling agent, a latent heat agent, and a heat dissipation agent. The thermal regulation composition is printed to a surface of a textile by pressing the thermal regulation composition against the textile surface such that the binder adheres the cooling agent, latent heat agent, and the heat dissipation agent to the surface of the textile, thereby forming a thermal regulation membrane, and the textile is incorporated into an article of apparel.

A protective garment comprising an outer shell, a moisture barrier, and a thermal liner. At least one of the outer shell, the moisture barrier, and the thermal liner includes one or more vents formed therein. In one embodiment, the vents may be an opening formed in at least one transferal portion of the moisture barrier and the thermal liner. A movable flap may be provided to extend over the opening to provide thermal protection to a wearer of the protective garment at a location of the vents. The protective garment may be employed as turnout gear compliant with NFPA 1971.
