Each of the pockets including a connector for securing a therapy pack within the pocket. Each garment is constructed as a form-fitting garment that is sized specifically for either a man, woman or child. Each garment further includes a plurality of fabric patches positioned along the inside facing portion to act as a burn guard.

An article of apparel has at least one panel including a first material having a first modulus of elasticity and a second material having a second modulus of elasticity, the first modulus of elasticity being greater than the second modulus of elasticity. An auxetic structure is provided by the first material on the panel, the auxetic structure comprising a pattern of reentrant shapes. A fill portion is provided by the second material on the panel, the fill portion formed by a plurality of stitches positioned inside of each reentrant shape of the auxetic structure, and the fill portion substantially filling an interior area defined by each reentrant shape. The fill portion is a base layer of the at least one panel and the auxetic structure is an auxetic layer positioned on the base layer.

Aspects herein relate to a waistband construct designed to provide support to a torso area of a wearer and more specifically, a mid to lower torso area of a human wearer, (i.e. a pelvic area of a wearer.) The waistband construct in accordance herein may have a multiple modulus of elasticity construction with at least one variation in modulus of elasticity along a circumference of the waistband construct. For example, the waistband construct in accordance with aspects herein may have a first portion having a first modulus of elasticity and a second portion having a second modulus of elasticity, where at least the portion having the higher modulus of elasticity may have a multiple layer construction for providing an effective support mechanism to at least a portion of the mid to lower torso area of the wearer.

This disclosure pertains to a novel motorcycle jacket used to improve safety during motorcycle rides. A novel motorcycle jacket may include one or more handles, disposed in one more orientations, thereon. The novel motorcycle jacket facilitates ease of grip with the handles which provide safety for motorcycle passengers. The novel motorcycle jacket may comprise a plurality of handles, a coupling means that attaches the plurality of handles to the body of a jacket. The motorcycle jacket may comprise a flexible material to facilitate lateral forces to apply thereon.

An athletic strap includes a glove portion including a plantar aspect, a dorsal aspect, and a cavity defined between the plantar and dorsal aspects. The cavity is configured to receive at least part of a hand or a foot of a user. The glove portion further includes a first opening at one end of the glove portion and a second opening at another end of the glove portion. The first and second openings provide ingress to or egress from the cavity. The glove portion further includes a strip extending between the plantar and dorsal aspects. The strip is adjacent to the second opening. The glove portion further includes a first indicium disposed on the plantar aspect. The first indicium extends along a first axis. The first axis is coincident with a portion of the strip.

An article of apparel includes at least one panel including a first edge and an opposing second edge. The at least one panel includes an auxetic structure defining a primary elongation direction and a secondary elongation direction. A plurality of lace coupling pairs are positioned along the first edge and the second edge of the at least one panel. Each lace coupling pair defines a lace pull direction that is perpendicular to a line extending through two adjacent lace couplings of the lace coupling pair. Each lace pull direction is defined by the plurality of lace couplings substantially in alignment with either the primary elongation direction or the secondary elongation direction of the auxetic structure between the two adjacent lace couplings of the lace coupling pair.

A garment includes at least one garment panel made of a fabric including a first yarn having a first denier and a second yarn having a second denier, the first denier being greater than the second denier. The first yarn forms an auxetic structure comprising a pattern of interconnected segments on the garment panel. The second yarn forms a fill portion extending between the interconnected segments of the auxetic structure.

A stretchable textile article (20) comprises a plurality of discrete textile members (22,24), each textile member (22,24) extending between a first end (26) and a second end (28), the first ends (26) of the textile members (22,24) being joined together, the second ends (28) of the textile members (22,24) being joined together, wherein the plurality of textile members (22,24) includes at least one first textile member (22) and at least one second textile member (24), the or each first textile member (22) including a textile zone configured to have an increasing stretch property away from the first end (26) towards the second end (28), the or each second textile member (24) including a textile zone configured to have an increasing stretch property away from the second end (28) towards the first end (26), wherein the stretchable textile article (20) further includes a compressible textile member (100) arranged to interconnect the first and second textile members (22,24) so that, in use, stretch of the stretchable textile article (20) in an orientation extending between the joined first ends (26) and the joined second ends (28) causes compression of the compressible textile member (100).
