A breathable garment for heating or cooling independently the body of a wearer. The breathable garment includes an inner electrically heatable substrate intended to be facing the body of the wearer in use; a forced air supply mechanism for supplying forced air into the space between the inner electrically heatable substrate and the body of the wearer; an intermediate perforated substrate; an outer waterproof, water-vapour-permeable substrate; and a mechanism for maintaining a gap between the intermediate perforated substrate and the outer substrate, making up an air chamber to allow turbulent airflow across the entire garment.

The invention provides a protective garment comprising: a belt, adapted to be positioned around the waist of a user, two leggings, each legging comprising an upper portion intended to be wrapped around a user's thigh, a lower portion intended to be wrapped around a user's calf, and an intermediate portion connecting the upper and lower portions, a plurality of airbags for safety, and a triggering device for inflating the airbags, characterized in that the intermediate portion of each legging has a notch which comes over the front of the user's knee when the legging is in position around the user's leg, and in that the upper portion and lower portion of each legging each comprise at least one airbag adjacent to the notch of the intermediate portion.

A wearable motorcycle heat-shield, intended for use by a rider in order to prevent burns from the exhaust pipes of the motorcycle. The wearable motorcycle heat-shield is comprised of a planar central heat-shield with a planar fabric region disposed on either side. The planar fabric regions are temporarily attachable through the use of hook-and-loop fasteners, or other temporary fastening means. The planar central heat-shield is comprised of a heat-shield laminate covered with a heat-shield cover. The heat shield laminate contains at least one radiant-heat-reflecting layer, such as a foil, and at least one layer of thermally resistant material, such as woven or nonwoven thermally resistive felt.

A garment for cycling, having indicating lights associated with sleeves of the garment; first and second accelerometers provided on respective sleeves; and a controller configured to receive data from the accelerometers and determine from the date whether a wearer of the garment has raised an arm to indicate a maneuver. The controller is further configured to illuminate the appropriate indicating light depending on which arm has been raised, and to compare the data from the first and second accelerometers to filter out movements common to both the first and second accelerometers and determine when the sleeves are being moved independently of one another in a manner to indicate a turn.

A motorcycle thermal protective leg covering for preventing motorcycle related leg burns includes a pair of tubular leg sleeves each having an upper aperture, a lower aperture, a lateral side, and a medial side. Each of the pair of leg sleeves is configured to be worn by a user from the ankle to the knee. Each of the pair of leg sleeves comprises a plurality of layers configured to prevent burns from a motorcycle to the user's legs. A pair of stirrups is coupled to the pair of leg sleeves and is configured to pass underneath the user's feet and prevent the pair of leg sleeves from moving. Each of the pair of stirrups has a lateral end coupled to the lateral side adjacent the lower aperture and a medial end coupled to the medial side adjacent the lower aperture.

This present application discloses a turn direction indicating jacket having a plurality of directional indicators independently actuatable via a switch and a portable power supply. The invention illuminates the lights in sequential fashion from the wearer's shoulder to his or her wrist with an arrowhead at the base, there ensuring that other motorists and pedestrians alike are aware of the wearer's presence in traffic and the wearer's intended traffic movement.

The present invention relates to a wearable protection device (10) which comprises at least one inflatable member (20) designed to move between a deflated condition and an inflated condition remaining inside a casing (30) of the wearable protection device (10). According to the invention, in the deflated condition the at least one inflatable member (20) has outer dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of available space inside the casing (30). Moreover, in the deflated condition, the at least one inflatable member (20) has at least one portion (22) folded with an accordion shape, whereby such an accordion-shaped portion (22) expands when the at least one inflatable member (20) moves from the deflated condition into the inflated condition and such an accordion-shaped portion (22) contracts when the at least one inflatable member (20) moves from the inflated condition to the deflated condition.

The present invention relates to a garment for motorcyclists (10) comprising a panel (12) formed by two elastic inserts (14), each elastic insert (14) having a first portion (141), positioned underneath the respective armpit, along the side of the upper portion of the trunk, and a second portion (142), inclined upwards over the respective shoulder blade, and by an elastic band (16), crosswise positioned along the bottom portion of the back. According to the invention the two elastic inserts (14) are connected to the elastic band (16) by means of at least one not-stretchable element (18), running along the sides of the torso. Moreover the garment (10) comprises two further stretchable pieces (20), each stretchable piece (20) running along the inner side of the sleeve from the wrist up to the armpit and being provided with an extension (22) extending along the adjacent side of the upper portion of the trunk and joined to the first portion (141) of the adjacent elastic insert (14).

An article of apparel includes a covering having a first portion, a second portion, and a bulge that extends across a union of the first and second portions.
