A garment with reflective material applied to an outer surface of the garment is provided herein. The reflective material is positioned on the garment based on modeled sun exposure. A method for modeling sun exposure to determine the positioning of reflective material on a garment is also provided herein. A system for modeling sun exposure, determining the position of reflective material on a garment, and applying the reflective material to the outer surface of the garment is also provided.

The present invention relates to the body protection vest including, the right front panel; the left front panel; the right side panel; the left side panel; the right shoulder strap; the left shoulder strap; at least one back panel; at least one fastener; and the plurality of means for connecting external attachments. the plurality of individual fastening members are spaced across the substantial portion of the attachment fabric in operative relation therewith for selective placement and attachment of the detachable elements to the outer side of the body protection vest.

A garment and method for rolling up a cuff of a cloth are disclosed. In one embodiment, a garment and method may be directed to a cylindrical shaped expansile fabric having a top edge, bottom edge, and apertures designed to wrap a cuff of a cloth, including a pant leg hem, shorts leg hem, sleeve cuff, and turtle neck, and to fold up the cuff together with the expansile fabric applied over the cuff. By the elasticity of the expansile fabric, the cuff continues to be held in a rolled-up manner but as a temporary measure so that the length of the pant leg, shorts leg, sleeve, and turtle neck can be maintained at a desired length for a wearer of the cloth and adjustable easily. In some embodiments, the expansile fabric is rolled-down to release the cuff wrapped inside without leaving any additional attachment.

A retroreflective article including a binder layer and a plurality of retroreflective elements. Each retroreflective element includes a transparent microsphere partially embedded in the binder layer. At least some of the retroreflective elements include a reflective layer that is a locally-laminated reflective layer that is embedded between the transparent microsphere and the binder layer. At least some of the locally-laminated reflective layers may be localized reflective layers.

A safety vest includes a vest body including front, back and sides, a light source having a battery pack and at least one LED, the light source being removably mounted to the vest body, at least one light tube extending from one side of the light source, for receiving light projected from the LED and conveying the light along the length of the light tube, the light tube extending along the front, back or sides of the vest, and vest fabric mounted over the light tube to hold it in position against the vest body, the vest fabric being at least translucent and therefore permitting light from the light tube to shine therethrough.

A light-weight radiation protection panel comprising radiation protection layer and a flexible material. The radiation protection layer comprises a plurality of a shielding material distributed in repeated and adjacent units of geometrical shapes, the light-weight radiation protection panel being able to be embodied in a wearable garment providing flexibility.

An electromagnetic camouflage shield comprises a flexible conductive layer and a textile layer. The shield includes at least one outward facing fibrous face, and is creped with at least 5% increased elongation to enhance its flexibility and effective EM thickness. The conductive layer can be the textile layer, or a separate layer. In embodiments, the conductive layer is one of a woven that incorporates metallic yarns, a textile having an electroless plated metal coating, a metal mesh, a thin layer of foil, and an elastomeric layer having a conductive and/or ferrite filler. The textile layer can be a woven or non-woven. Embodiments are fashioned into shirts, pants, and/or other clothing, and can provide drape and moisture vapor transport for enhanced comfort.
