A waterproof protector for a body member and a method for fabricating the waterproof protector. The waterproof protector comprises a body comprising a fabric layer comprising polyester; a water repellent applied to a first surface of the fabric layer; an antimicrobial substance applied to an opposite surface of the fabric layer and located on an inner surface of the body. The body comprises a main seam formed by a junction of the fabric layer, the junction being sewn by an ultrasound to form a main seam which is further sealed with an additional layer of a waterproof material positioned on the inner surface of the body and sealed to the inner surface by heat. The waterproof protector further comprises a stretchable strap attached to an end of the body and having several hook-and-loop fastener portions for leakless securing of the protector to the body member.

A protective apparel having a collar is disclosed. The collar defines a stowage pouch. The protective apparel comprises a foldable chinstrap having a first end and a second end. The first ends of the foldable chinstrap is disposed within the stowage pouch and the second end is attached to an interior surface of the collar in a folded configuration. The foldable chinstrap transitions from the folded configuration to an unfolded configuration when the second end of the foldable chinstrap is separated from the interior surface of the collar and extended to attach to an exterior surface of the collar.

A forearm and shin glider for motorcycle cornering including a deformable base with slits that allow secure and comfortable fit to the rider's arm or leg. An abrasion resistant casing is attached to the base. This casing holds a set of abrasion resistant balls made of high speed smooth abrasion resistant ceramic. The abrasion resistant balls are located by bearings, also manufactured of ceramic. This device allows the rider to make contact with the ground for support during tight cornering maneuvers with substantially reduced and minimized friction. The abrasion resistant balls move smoothly within the bearings and casing and roll when contacting the ground, creating minimal friction but also providing substantial rider support. The glider device includes air ducts for air flow to reduce friction related heat. The glider device is attached to the rider's clothing using Velcro or hook and loop attachment devices.

The present invention provides devices and system useful for transporting infants, minimizing vibrations, noise, and associated with transport. Devices of the invention include a head gear assembly, one or more body support rolls for elevating portions of the infant's body, and a mattress system with a removable insert. The invention further provides methods of use associated with such devices, including methods of stabilizing a position of an infant, reducing shock or vibration to an infant during transportation, reducing shock, vibration, or noise exposure to an infant during transportation, reducing shock or vibration while providing elevation to specific portions of an infant during transportation, and reducing the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and/or persistent pulmonary hypertension to an infant during transportation.

Protective shoulder pads, such as the type worn for playing ice hockey, including a central panel configured to cover a portion of a chest of the wearer and defining a centerline extending centrally therethrough, and two side panels partially overlapping the central panel and each disposed on opposite sides of a centerline of the central panel. Each of the side panels is rotatable relative to he central panel about a rotation axis located proximate an upper end of each of the side panels, so as to adjust a width of the protective shoulder pad which is defined between opposed outer lateral edges of the side panels. The side panels are securable to the central panel at a plurality of attachment points to maintain a selected width of the adjustable shoulder pad.

The present disclosure provides athletic hand grips and methods of using the same. The hand grips may be provided in pairs and worn on both hands to protect the user's palms, in particular. The hand grips may be worn during various athletic activities, including weight lifting, CrossFit activities, and gymnastics, for example.

A thermoformed protective face shield includes a curved top portion adapted to conform to a curved lower portion of a rigid protective headwear. The face shield further includes a visor portion extending outward from a lower end of the curved top portion, thereby creating a space between the user's face and a face cover portion. The visor portion includes one or more channels formed therein for structural support and/or allowing release of heat and/or moisture from the face cover portion. The face cover portion extends downward from the visor portion and covers and provides protection for the face of a user. A side shield portion extends inwardly from the face cover portion. For shielding the sides of a user's face. Further, a perimeter flange may extend perpendicular to the perimeter of the face shield for providing structural support to the face shield.

A shoulder-pad system includes various components, including an impact-plate assembly and one or more sub-layers. The shoulder-pad system may be substantially retained in an arrangement or configuration using one or more securing garments. An exemplary securing garment includes an upper-body garment that at least partially wraps over, and attaches to, the impact-plate assembly.

A full-body protection gear is disclosed. The protection gear includes a torso protector, an arm protector, and a lower body protector. The torso protector includes a protective vest defining a neck opening, a first arm opening, and a second arm opening. The torso protector includes a front shield, aback shield, a first pair of side shields, a second pair of side shields, a first shoulder shield and a second shoulder shield fixedly disposed on the protective vest. The arm protector includes a first part adapted to cover an upper arm region of a user extending from a shoulder to an elbow, and a second part adapted to be removably coupled with the first part and to cover a lower arm region of the user extending from the elbow to a palm. The lower body protector includes a first part adapted to cover pelvic region and an upper leg region of a user, and a second part removably coupled with the first part in a partial overlapping manner, and adapted to cover lower leg region of the user. The lower leg region is indicative of a region extending from above a knee joint to above an ankle joint of the user.

A protective gown with collar extension includes a collar extension portion extending upwardly from a neckline of a protective gown to provide securement of the gown to prevent gaping an pull-away from a wearer. In one embodiment, a tie extends from each side of the collar extension to allow securement to a wearer. In another embodiment, the material of the collar extension extends beyond the region of the gown, with the extending ends of the collar extension forming ties to allow securement to a wearer. Other methods of securement are shown and described.
