Abstract: A high-visibility includes a sleeveless garment having a collar, a plurality of reflective torso stripes, and a reflective collar stripe. The high-visibility vest is to be worn on a torso of a wearer-user and is useful for providing higher visibility to a torso area and a neck area of the wearer-user with a polished and professional appearance.

Abstract: A back brace is designed to custom fit a wearer in a multitude of different configurations. First, the back brace could have a lumbar support that is split into upper and lower sections that are connected to a flexible joint, allowing the lumbar support to bend towards the spine of the user. The lumbar support is also generally split into left and right sections that are drawn towards one another while the joint bends towards the lumbar curve. This allows the back brace to conform to the lumbar curve of the wearer as a custom fit. Second, the brace could have optional extenders that alter the support length, width, and height of lumbar and lateral supports about the wearer. Third, the brace could have reinforcement support mechanisms that alter the rigidity of various lumbar and lateral supports about the wearer.

Abstract: The double pull body brace comprises a one-piece panel which engages around the torso and overlaps at the front. At the overlap, it is attached to itself by means of a hook-and-loop fastener so that a wide range of adjustment is possible. In the back, spaced cord guides are mounted on said panel. Each cord guide carries a plurality of cord guide lobes. An upper cord is engaged around the upper cord guide lobes, and a lower cord is engaged around the lower cord guide lobes. These cords are separately attached to pull tabs. When donned, the user pulls on the pull tabs to separately adjust upper and lower closure tension of the body brace. When in correct adjustment, the pull tabs are attached in place by hook-and-loop fasteners.

Abstract: Adjustable braces providing improved levels of adjustability and ease of use are provided. Two components of an adjustable brace can be pivotally fastened to one another at two ends, and define a size-adjustable opening therebetween. The two components can be coupled to one another via an adjustment mechanism that allows for an adjustment of a vertical position of one component relative to another component. Two pivoting locking member can be provided that captures an adjustment and blocks a movement of the adjustment mechanism.

Third, the brace could have reinforcement support mechanisms that alter the rigidity of various lumbar and lateral supports about the wearer.

Abstract: Adjustable braces providing improved levels of adjustability and ease of use are provided. Two components of an adjustable brace can be pivotally fastened to one another at two ends, and define a size-adjustable opening therebetween. The two components can additionally or alternatively be coupled to one another via an adjustment mechanism that allows for an adjustment and secured positioning of one component relative to the other via a simple manipulation of a single adjustment piece.

Abstract: A lower torso support has first and second front panels that are attachable to each other and independently moveable with respect to the side portions of the support. The front panels can be any suitable dimensions. However, slipper shapes are deemed to be the most useful, with front panels preferably at least 15 cm long and at least 6 cm tall at their tallest point. In preferred embodiments the front panels are readily attachable to and detachable from the side portions in a wide variety of superior to inferior and medial to lateral positions. At present the preferred mechanism for making those connections is a hook and loop mechanism, which has the advantage of also allowing the front panels to be angled with respect to the side portions in any suitable orientation.
