A training tight having preconfigured compression zones with integrated knit structure patterns is provided herein. The compression zones may have differing compressive properties where zones having a higher compression force are located at the waist and thigh areas of the tight, and zones having a lower compression force are located at the knee and calf area of the tight. The integrated structure patterns modify the compressive properties of the zones in the areas where the patterns are located in order to further customize the compressive properties of the training tight.

This invention relates to a polymer composition containing at least one polymer and at least one agent, formed bodies having such a polymer composition, the use of the formed bodies and polymer compositions, and corresponding threads, nonwoven materials, clothing articles, and medical aids.

A sock that is less likely to slip off and provide an excellent wearing feeling while ensuring a state of the sock being hard to see. This sock provides a foot connecting portion 14 between a toe portion 11 and a heel portion 12. The sock also provides an ankle connecting portion 15 between the heel portion 12 and a body portion 13. The foot connecting portion 14 and the ankle connecting portion 15 that sandwich the heel portion 12 are knitted as non-cylindrical knitted fabrics having predetermined knitting widths, respectively, to form an opening 16 surrounded by the toe portion 11, the foot connecting portion 14, the heel portion 12, the ankle connecting portion 15, and the body portion 13 to open an area from the ankle to the instep in a worn state. This prevents an instep portion of the sock from protruding from a shoe and becoming visible.

Provided is a compression garment formed of a stretchable woven fabric with a uniform elasticity, such as denim. A circumferential portion of the garment surrounds a wearer's body part and is characterized by different degree of stretching but the same circumferential compressive forces when worn by a wearer, at various axial locations due to geometric cuts made to the fabric to form one or more fabric panels, each of which extend along the entire length of the circumferential portion. The compressive forces, degrees of stretching and circumferential lengths of fabric, are calculated using formulas and algorithms that take into account various factors relating to the fabric and the garment being formed.

A method of constructing a compression garment, for example, a sock, formed of a knitted fabric that includes an elastomer compression inlay yarn introduced into a predetermined first selection of needles on a first knitting machine finger position and first and second pattern yarns introduced into a predetermined second selection of needles on second and third knitting machine finger positions, the first selection of needles and the second selection of needles collectively defining a predetermined pattern. When the predetermined second selection of needles is raised to take on the first and second pattern yarns, the elastomer compression inlay yarn deflects predetermined ones of the second selection of needles radially inwardly to define an annular space into which the pattern yarns are dropped in an offset relation to the elastomer compression inlay yarn. The first and second pattern yarns are plated to respective outer and inner surfaces of the fabric, and the elastomer compression yarn are inlaid to the inner surface of the fabric.

The invention relates to a compressive knitted fabric consisting of at least one stitch-forming basic knitting thread, at least one inserted and/or knitted elastic weft thread and at least one plush thread plaited, at least partially, onto the basic knitting thread and forming plush loops, wherein the at least one plush thread is an adhesive thread in order to give the compressive knitted fabric an anti-slip effect.

A yarn is produced by twisting an organic yarn and a synthetic yarn. The organic and synthetic yarns and twisting processes thereof may be selected to produce a twisted yarn with enhanced performance characteristics such as moisture management, abrasion resistance, and refit. The twisted yarn may be knitted into articles of clothing such as socks.

A knitted athletic performance garment includes a seamless panel to cover a portion of a wearer's body, a first performance zone and a second performance zone formed in the seamless panel, wherein the first performance zone is formed of a first warp knit stitch construction and has a first modulus, wherein the second performance zone is formed of a second warp knit stitch construction and has a second modulus, wherein the first warp knit stitch construction is different from the second warp knit stitch construction, wherein the first modulus is different from the second modulus, and wherein the difference in modulus between the first performance zone and the second performance zone is due to the difference in stitch construction between the first performance zone and the second performance zone.

A polyamide multifilament has a total fineness of 4.0-6.0 dtex, a single yarn fineness of 1.2 dtex or below, a strength-elongation product of 9.1 or above, and an elongation degree of 40-50%. A polyamide fiber has a small total fineness and single fiber fineness while having a high strength-elongation product and exhibiting a low unevenness (U%) in the longitudinal direction. Stockings exhibit an excellent higher-order process passability and productivity and exhibit an excellent softness, durability, and transparent feel and a fabric exhibits an excellent softness and durability.

A polymer composition comprising a polymer and at least one active substance selected from the group consisting of a substance generating an occlusion, in particular a substance generating an internal occlusion or a substance generating an external occlusion; a moisturizing substance; a substance reducing pain or itching; and mixtures of these.
