A disposable medical gown (100) includes a body covering portion (101) and optionally one or more sleeves (107,108). The body covering portion (101) defines a head insertion aperture (104) between a frontal body covering portion (103) configured to cover a frontal body portion of a wearer and a rear portion (203) configured to cover at least parts of shoulder blades of the wearer. A torso opening (201) is disposed on a side of the rear portion (203) opposite the head insertion aperture (104), and extends distally from the rear portion (203). One or more perforations (202) extend across the rear portion (203) at least partially between the torso opening (202) and the head insertion aperture (104), and facilitate easy removal of the gown (100). A user removes the gown (100) by pulling the front portion (103), thereby tearing the perforations. Elastic gatherings can be included to snug the gown about the torso or limbs of the user.

Motorcycling apparel, particularly motorcycling jerseys and pants, and methods of manufacture thereof are provided. In the motorcycling pant of the invention, a compressive inner layer is integrally affixed to a protective outer layer. In embodiments, the motorcycling pant includes a zipper for securing the outer layer snugly around a leg of the wearer. The integrally affixed compressive layer and zipper mechanism permit a wearer to put on additional protective gear, e.g. knee braces, over the motorcycling pant with less time and effort than previous motorcycling pants require.

A protective pad assembly for releasably attaching to a garment. The protective pad assembly comprises an inner member adapted to be disposed inside the garment, two inner securing components mounted to the inner member and provided to be disposed inside the garment, an outer member provided to be disposed outside the garment, and two outer securing components mounted to the outer member and provided to be disposed outside the garment. The outer member includes an elastic band member attached to the two outer securing components. A distance between the outer securing components of the elastic band member in a relaxed state is less than a distance between the two inner securing components mounted to the inner member. The distance between the two outer securing components of the elastic band member in a stretched state is equal to the distance between the two inner securing components mounted to the inner member.

An abdominal exercise system including an isometric flex-board and a rear-support. The isometric flex-board includes an exterior-surface and an interior-surface, a right-side, and a left-side; with the left-side and the right-side each including slot-openings. The rear-support includes an outside-surface, an inside surface, a left-portion, and a right-portion; with the left-portion and the right-portion each including adjustment-straps that are insertable into the slot-openings on the right-side and the left-side of the isometric flex-board to removably couple the rear-support and the isometric flex-board together and provide adjustability to the abdominal exercise system for a user. The isometric flex-board and the rear-support, when coupled together, are wearable about an abdominal area of the user to provide resistance to the abdominal area to provide a muscle exercise to the user by the user flexing the abdominal area against the resistance.

A garment or accessory includes an outer layer coupled to a liner that is partially removable via fasteners. The outer layer includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The liner includes an edge. A portion of the edge is coupled to the inner surface of the outer layer. The fastener includes a first member coupled to the inner surface of the outer layer and a second member coupled to the liner at an uncoupled portion of the edge of the liner. A space is formed between the liner and the inner surface of the outer layer. The space is accessible through the uncoupled portion.

A headrest device includes a headrest (1) which is movably mounted on a back support (3) associated with a harness (4) for holding the back support on the back of a user. The headrest is mounted to elastically slide in longitudinal translation along the back support and is elastically attached to the back support in an articulated manner to tilt transversely. The headrest is used continuously according to the movements of the head in extension thereof towards a nominal resting position. The device may include a first torsion spring acting antagonistically in relation to the transverse tilting movements of the headrest and a compression spring acting antagonistically in relation to the longitudinal translation movements of the headrest. The two springs act synchronously during operation, continuously tracking movements of the head of the wearer in relation to a nominal rest position, with non-sliding support at the back of the head.

A thumb brace comprising a glove having a thumb portion disposed between a palm side and a back side and comprising a first attachment region positioned adjacent a base of the thumb portion and a second attachment region positioned on the back side of the glove; a first elastic strap having a first end, a mid-portion, and a second end, wherein the mid-portion is disposed within a cradle of the glove between the thumb portion and an index finger portion of the glove, the first end is releasably attached to the first attachment region, and the second end is releasably attached to the first attachment region, whereby the first strap extends a distal end of a thumb metacarpal bone of a user of the brace; and a second elastic strap having a first end, a mid-portion, and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to the palm side of the glove and the second end is releasably attached to the second attachment region, whereby the second strap reduces a proximal end of a thumb metacarpal bone of a user of the brace.

An armored belt for providing armor protection to a lower torso of a wearer with an armor sheath, soft body armor disposed in the armor sheath, and at least one cinching band section of resiliently extendable material for cinching the armor sheath and the armored belt about the torso of the wearer by an elastic, contractive force of the cinching band section. Plural cinching band sections have proximal ends fixed to the armor sheath, distal ends with fastening mechanisms, and resiliently extendable body portions. Plural cinching band sections can be formed by a cinching band with a central portion fixed to the armor sheath thereby to divide the cinching band into first and second cinching band sections. Fastening portions are disposed on ends of the armor sheath, and a compressible section of the armor sheath and the body armor can be disposed at a mid-portion of the armored sheath.

A convertible garment is selectively configurable for use in a variety of situations. The garment includes a panel and a plurality of handles. The panel includes a first section having a first outer edge portion that defines a first space, a second section having a second outer edge portion that defines a second space, and a body section between the first section and the second section. The body section has an inner edge portion that defines a head opening. The handles extend mediolaterally between a first side of the panel and a second side of the panel such that one or more first handles coupled to the first outer edge portion include a first medial portion exposable at the first space and one or more second handles coupled to the second outer edge portion include a second medial portion exposable at the second space.

The disclosure relates to a one-piece garment that fastens securely and snugly in the neck and back through a unique threading system, has static arm holes snug enough to prevent diaper access, gives room through inner leg paneling for a pull-up, and has tapering legs with static openings to prevent diaper access through modification of the leg.
