The present disclosure provides a wristband apparatus having a plurality of high capacity absorbent pockets. Elastic bands and seams between the pockets maintain the structure of the wristband apparatus even when large amounts of fluid have been absorbed. Since large amounts of fluid can be absorbed, the wristband apparatus can double as an exercise weight which puts no strain on the wrist, is comfortable to wear, and which simultaneously cools the body. The wristband apparatus can also be used as a normal exercise wristband, and even to prevent excess fluids from running down a user's arms when they wash in a sink basin.

The technology described herein relates to vented and insulating garments having an interior garment assembly comprising an interior panel and a middle panel attached at one or more seams defining chambers for retaining thermally-insulating fill material. The seams have a first plurality of openings extending through the interior and middle panels. An exterior garment assembly has a second plurality of openings positioned on the exterior garment assembly such that the second plurality of openings are offset from the first plurality of openings when the exterior garment assembly is worn with the interior garment assembly. The offsetting of the openings may achieve moisture vapor or air transfer from the inside the garment to the outside environment. The exterior garment assembly and the interior garment assembly may be discrete garment pieces or may be attached at one or more locations.

An article of footwear (100), apparel (500, 600), and/or sporting equipment (300, 400), and methods of manufacturing thereof, having a hydrogel present on at least a portion of an externally-facing side of the article. The hydrogel is effective in reducing soil accumulation on the article, and/or for reducing soil adhesion to the article.

The inventive subject matter generally relates to shaped battle constructs for use in consumer products, such as garments and sleeping bags. In certain aspects, the shaped baffles are arranged in a multi-level construction of baffles wherein the baffles are offset in two or more levels. In certain aspects, the entire construct is a unitary woven, seamless construction.

Provided are garments that comprise thermally-conductive materials, the materials comprising a heat-collecting coating disposed on a fibrous base material having a thermally-conductive additive dispersed within. Also provided are methods of fabricating thermally-conductive garments.

A garment has excellent contact cold sensation and gives persistent contact cold sensation but also can reduce heatful feeling and is suitably wearable in wearing scenes such as offices and homes. The garment includes one or plural fans for taking external air into a space between the garment and the body. A fabric of the garment has a contact cold/warm sensation value Q-max of 0.30 W/cm.sup.2 or larger and a basis weight of 250 g/m.sup.2 or less.
