At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a combination, comprising: a garment, a configurable convective device, and an attachment device configured to attach the configurable convective device to the garment. The configurable convective device comprises a pneumatic structure having a first portion, a second portion, and an inflatable channel connecting the first portion and the second portion and at least one opening into the pneumatic structure. In some cases, the relative positions of the first portion and the second portion of the pneumatic structure can be rearranged.

An integrated control device for mounting in electrically heated articles of apparel for controlling power to heating wires secured in the articles of apparel. The control device has a finger-operable switch integrated with electronic circuits mounted on a pcb board. The electronic circuits have a communication circuit to interface with a user person to provide message information to the user person. A waterproof envelope shields at least a portion of the control device. An input electrical connecting port is mounted on the control device and accessible from outside the waterproof envelope. The input electrical connecting port is configured to magnetically receive and retain an external electrical connector having a conductor cable secured thereto to provide power to the electronic circuits from an external electrical power source. The input electrical connecting port, and the external electrical connector positioned therein, exhibit a magnetic coupling force of a predetermined strength permitting rotational planar displacement of the external electrical connector, when a shear force is applied thereto by the conductor cable of the external electrical connector, without separating the magnetic coupling retention force between the magnet retainers.

A power source for a heated garment. The power source includes a housing, one or more battery cells located within the housing, a user interface positioned on the housing, an electrical interface positioned on the housing for connecting to the heated garment, and a controller located within the housing and including an electronic processor and a memory, the controller coupled to the battery cells, the user interface, and the electrical interface. The controller is configured to communicate with the heated garment and a device. Communicating with a device includes at least one of transmitting the status of the battery cells, receiving heated garment preset temperature information, and receiving desired temperature information. Communicating with the heated garment includes at least one of enabling heated garment components, receiving temperature information, receiving garment type information, and controlling heated zones within the heated garment.

An electrically powered warming sleeve comprised of multiple fabric layers enclosing one or more planar heating panels arranged for positioning the panels over major muscle groups. Operation of the warming sleeve is controlled by a switch, preferably with multiple “on” positions to adjust the level of heating. The switch is conveniently accessible on the exterior of the sleeve and may be made integral with LED indicators to signal the active level of heating. In some embodiments, a receptacle positioned at the proximate posterior portion of a sleeve houses a power receiving means which may be electrically connected to a rechargeable battery. Preferably, the heating panels of the sleeve are engineered to eliminate hot spots and incorporate material to emit far infrared radiation that will penetrate soft tissues of a wearer. The warming sleeve may be used to warm extremities while maintaining dexterity of the digits or as a therapeutic device.

The utility model discloses water pants with a hand warming function, comprising waterproof pants; the bottoms of the waterproof pants are connected with waterproof boots; the waterproof pants are provided with a belt; clips are installed on the front side of the waterproof pants; straps are installed on the rear side of the waterproof pants; a hand warming bag is fixedly sewed at the inner side of the waterproof pants in a position of a chest; the hand warming bag is connected with a power line; and the power line is electrically connected with a mobile power supply. The water pants comprise pants, a jacket and a power bank; the pants are provided with the belt; the pants are provided with the hand warming bag; a heating wire is arranged in the hand warming bag; and pockets are arranged on both sides of the jacket.

A waterproof wearable heated cape blanket designed for portability and operated by rechargeable battery pack for heated use outdoors and indoors. The cape blanket comes in a variety of sizes and colors. It is rectangular and about 72 inches or 1.829 meters in length, and about 50 inches or 1.27 meters high, but can be constructed in larger dimensions. It can be constructed from a variety of fabrics and materials. When folded an attached strap is visible and provides a grip surface so that the user can transport the blanket. The weight of the is determined by its size, but easily provides for portability by hand.

The present invention relates to insulated work pants that are compact, lightweight, easy to put on and take off and do not have shoulder straps. The insulated work pants are in the form of conventional trousers that have multiple layers of insulating material stitched inside the trousers for trapping body heat and preventing cold from the outside environment in. The pants are specifically designed to protect the lower portion of a user's body and snugly fit around a user's waist using the hook and loop fastener on the waistband. The pants have heavy-duty zippers on the side seam of the pants for tightening the pants to a user's legs.

An inflatable cold-weather upper-body garment. The garment includes first and second pluralities of interconnected gas flow chambers, each plurality enclosed by gas-impermeable material; a fluid-flow channel connecting the first and second pluralities of gas flow chambers; and a hand-operable air pump in fluid communication with one of the gas flow chambers.

A temperature controlled garment or bra system can be integral with a bra or a separate thermal insert that can be coupled to any type of garment. The thermal insert having one or more thermal zones or regions that are configured to form a temperature gradient for different breast regions for the purpose of having a uniform breast implant temperature.

A wireless charging system for heated garments includes a garment body, a heater coupled to the garment body, a receiver coupled to the garment body and configured to wirelessly receive power, an energy storage element coupled to the garment body and configured to store charge provided to the receiver, a controller selectively providing power from the energy storage element to the heater, and a power supply including a transmitter configured to wirelessly provide power to the receiver when the transmitter is near the receiver.
