A protective clothing device having an article of clothing having an inner layer and/or an outer layer is disclosed. The protective clothing device may have thin force absorbing members coupled to the inner layer or outer layer of the article of clothing. The force absorbing members can have overlapping or interlaced portions for enhanced protection even when the protective clothing device expands. In one embodiment, the protective clothing device may be a protective hat. In another embodiment, the protective clothing device may be a headband.

A scrunch cap that can be compressed and scrunched tight or loosened when worn on the wearer's head. The scrunch cap is adjustable in some embodiments. The scrunch cap is made from a single piece of stretchable fabric. The fabric includes a first and a second long side of generally equal lengths, and a third and a fourth short side of generally equal lengths. A seam is included such that when folded the fabric includes a hemmed side, an unhemmed side opposite the hemmed side, a folded side, and a side opposite the folded side. A plurality of holes is distributed along three sides of the folded stretchable fabric. The folded side of the single piece of stretchable fabric does not include the plurality of holes. A piece of cord or other tying member is threaded through the plurality of holes in a crisscross arrangement and pulled tight.

The present invention is directed to a towel for drying hair where as it absorbs water. The is a 2-piece pattern in conjunction with the magnetic fastener system (which fastens in the back and/or front) to provide a non-slip function; The stretchable inside cap to position the hair on top of the head (rather than the traditional method of wrapping the length of the hair in the towel); and the specific blend of materials—all provide advantages over the current systems and competition.

A nightcap configured for securing about a wearer's head and method of wearing the same is disclosed. The nightcap includes a cap portion that is dimensioned to cover a wearer's head. An aft end of the cap portion encircles a wearer's head. A forward end of the cap portion has a notch proximal to a top end of the cap portion by a confluence of an upper edge of a pair of elongate straps distending from the cap portion. Side loops are provided at the lateral sides of the cap portion and a rear loop is provided at an aft end of the cap portion. The cap is worn and secured about the wearer's head by encircling the wearer's head with the elongate straps, while routing terminal ends of the elongate straps through the side loops, rear loop, and securing the straps in a knot on the wearer's forehead.

Eyewear apparatus includes dry electrophysiological electrodes and, optionally, other physiological and/or environmental sensors to measure signals such as EOG and ECG from the head of a subject. Methods of use of such apparatus to provide fitness, health, or other measured or derived, estimated, or predicted metrics are also disclosed.

Ear compression apparatus including an ear compression band having a substantially circular shape. The ear compression band can have a circumferential length and a compression band operably coupled with at least one-half (½) of the circumferential length of the ear compression band. The compression band can be coupled with less than nineteen-twentieths ( 19/20) of the circumferential length of the ear compression band, thereby forming a front portion of the circumferential length not having a compression band coupled therewith.
