Publication number: 20240122276Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to an apparel item that promotes thermo-regulation through the use of engineered openings, venting, and/or stand-off structures. In exemplary aspects, 20-45% of the apparel item may comprise the engineered openings. Vents may be positioned on the apparel item in areas that experience high amounts of air flow to help channel air into the apparel item. The stand-off structures may be positioned on an inner-facing surface of the apparel item where they help to create a space between the apparel item and the wearer's body surface in which air can flow and help cool the wearer by promoting evaporative cooling.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Collin Bailey, Kim D. Baschak, Olivia A. Echols, Stacey L. Hansen, Lucas Hartman, Rebecca P. Hurd, Adam Parkinson, Shannon K. Redell, David Sagan, Susan L. Sokolowski, Stuart B. Brown, Matthew J. Hancock

Patent number: 11871805Abstract: Aspects herein relate to a textile knitted with an adaptive yarn that incorporates insulation features as well as variable air permeability features. The adaptive textile may exhibit a baseline level of insulation. The adaptive textile is configured to exhibit a first air permeability when unexposed to a physical stimulus such as water and a second air permeability when exposed to the physical stimulus where the second air permeability is greater than the first air permeability.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Collin Bailey, Olivia A. Echols, Rebecca P. Hurd

Patent number: 10391740Abstract: An adaptive material garment system includes a number of components to effectively transport and exhaust moisture and thermal energy while protecting the wearer from undesired levels of air permeability. Therefore, an adaptive material responsive to stimuli, such as moisture, is used as a base layer against a wearer's skin. The base layer is effective to transport thermal energy and/or sweat away from the skin. The base layer may be formed with a first gauge greater than and a denier that is less than an outer article. The outer article may also be formed from an adaptive material responsive to the same or different stimuli. The outer article may also have a wind-resistant panel having apertures and a selectively coupled perimeter.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Collin Bailey, Rebecca P. Hurd, Matthew D. Nordstrom, Patrick Williams, Olivia A. Echols, Ryan P. Henry, Stewart D. Horner
