A removable chamois comprising a panel with a face, a backside, a frontside, a right side, and a left side, wherein the backside is wider than the frontside. A pad coupled to the face of the panel. A first waist strap and a second waist strap coupled to the backside of the panel, wherein the distal end of the first waist strap is coupled to a first waist buckle and the distal end of the second waist strap is coupled to a second waist buckle, wherein the first waist buckle is configured to detachably couple to the second waist buckle.

The present invention concerns an article of apparel including: a first woven area, where the first woven area includes a first weaving density and a first yarn weight per unit length; a second woven area arranged adjacent to the first woven area, where the second woven area includes a second weaving density and a second yarn weight per unit length; and a third woven area arranged adjacent to the second woven area, where the third woven area includes a third weaving density and a third yarn weight per unit length. The second weaving density in the second woven area changes gradually from the first weaving density to the third weaving density and/or the second yarn weight per unit length in the second woven area changes gradually from the first yarn weight per unit length to the third yarn weight per unit length.

A wearable arm airfoil garment for reducing the cyclist aerodynamic drag. The wearable arm airfoil includes a front bluff elastic band having ends connected at two anchors, with a first anchor located proximate to the wrist, and a second anchor located proximate to the shoulder. The front bluff elastic band stretches along the radius bone and the humerus bone, between the two anchors. The airfoil also is a stretchable garment material, the garment material wrapping around the arm and over the band from wrist to shoulder, with a body conformable stretchable bodice. In one example, the arm airfoil includes a shirt torso airfoil.

A glove includes a glove body including a front side and a back side. The front side and the back side adapted to each other and including a forward end and a wristward end. The forward end and the wristward end adapted to each other may include a first finger portion configured to receive a little finger of a user, a second finger portion configured to receive a ring finger of a user, a third finger portion configured to receive a middle finger of a user, a fourth finger portion configured to receive an index finger of a user, and a thumb portion configured to receive a thumb of the user. A panel is adapted to the back side of the glove body. The panel may be configured to receive a removably insertable cleaning cloth.

An apparatus, method, computer program product, and/or system are described that determine an event, actuate a cushioning element in response to the determining the event, the cushioning element including one or more tension-bearing members, and dissipate at least some of an energy associated with a collision based on deforming at least one of the tension-bearing members during the collision, the deforming including substantially inelastically stretching the at least one of the tension-bearing members. Other example embodiments are also provided relating to actuatable cushioning elements.

A garment that includes a bottom portion having first and second leg openings, a front part and a back part, first and second shoulder straps that each have a front portion extending upwardly from the front part and a back portion extending upwardly from the back part. The first and second shoulder straps each include a shoulder portion that connects the front portion to the back portion, The back portion of the first shoulder strap includes an upper section and a lower section and the lower section is wider than the upper section. The back portion of the second shoulder strap includes an upper section and a lower section and the lower section is wider than the upper section. At least a portion of the lower section of the first shoulder strap overlaps at least a portion of the lower section of the second shoulder strap.

Embodiments of golf gloves having a cut out portion and methods to manufacture gloves having a cut out portion are generally described herein. Other embodiments of gloves may be described and claimed.

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.

An wearable airfoil garment having one or more stretchable suspension lines disposed on the garment between one or more of the following combinations of proximate locations: the wrist and the shoulder, the back of the ankle and the back of the leg (upper portion of the adductor longus), and along a location on the back of the arm and a location on the torso. For each stretchable suspension line, a flexible and stretchable cloth material is attached to and forming a portion of the garment. The flexible and stretchable cloth material is attached to the stretchable suspension line, forming a draped and collapsible airfoil. The one or more stretchable suspension lines forms a cusp shape, whereby a trailing edge is formed.
