Abstract: A garment worn over a portion of a body of a wearer comprises a garment wall and an airflow inducer. The garment wall has a first garment wall airflow passage extending therethrough. The airflow inducer is attached to an exterior surface of the garment wall over the first garment wall airflow passage such that the airflow inducer encompasses the first garment wall airflow passage. The airflow inducer and the garment wall jointly define an air chamber. The first garment wall airflow passage is exposed within the air chamber. The airflow inducer is deformable such that the air chamber has a volume dependent upon a state of deformation of the airflow inducer. An airflow passage of the inducer provides for airflow between the air chamber and an ambient environment surrounding the garment.

Abstract: A liquid storage apparatus mountable over a rear-mounted spare tire of a vehicle comprises a liquid storage bladder including an interior space for having liquid stored therein and a tire cover having a bladder compartment and a vehicle tire compartment adjacent to the bladder compartment. The liquid storage bladder is within an interior space of the bladder compartment. The tire cover includes a spare tire mount passage in a wall thereof defining an interior space of the vehicle tire compartment. The bladder compartment is opposite the spare tire mount passage.

Abstract: An interface system for hook and loop engagement structures includes a first interface patch and a second interface patch. The first interface patch has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface thereof. Hook engagement structures extend from the first major surface of the first interface patch. A first magnetic element is embedded within the first interface patch between said first and second major surfaces thereof. The second interface patch has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface thereof. Loop engagement structures extend from the first major surface of the second interface patch. A second magnetic element is embedded within the second interface patch between said first and second major surfaces thereof.

Abstract: An ammunition magazine holding apparatus comprises a magazine holder and a magazine retention strap. The ammunition magazine holding apparatus has a cavity therein defining an upper end portion thereof and a lower end portion thereof. A first magnet element is attached to the magazine holder adjacent to the upper end portion of the cavity. A first configuration of interlock structure extends from a surface of the magazine holder. The magazine retention strap has a second magnetic element at a first end portion thereof and a second configuration of interlock structure at a second end portion thereof. The first configuration interlock structure is mechanically engaged with and separable from the first configuration interlock structure. The second magnetic element is magnetically engagable with the first magnetic element.
