Abstract: A vest adjustment system includes a plurality of first couplers on a first front portion of a vest and a plurality of second couplers on a second front portion of the vest. The first couplers may receive a first cord, and the second couplers may receive a second cord. A first adjuster may couple to a first bottom edge and receive the first cord. In a similar manner, a second adjuster may couple to a second bottom edge and receive the second cord. One or more removably attachable couplers may attach the first cord to the second cord, allowing a user to adjust the vest. The vertical and horizontal tightness and position of the vest may be adjusted by pulling each cord.

Abstract: A waist light assembly has a light housing including one or more light-emitting devices in the light housing, and a battery housing separate from the light housing, the battery housing being coupled to the light housing via an electrical wire. The waist light assembly may be used in combination with a waist belt, the waist belt having a front pad for securing the light housing and a rear pad for securing the battery housing.

Abstract: A race vest has a front base portion, a back base portion, shoulder straps, a neck aperture, and one or more elastic couplers. In one example of use, a user would insert their head through the neck aperture, which is formed between the shoulder straps. The user would then use the elastic to couple the front base portion to the back base portion, the coupling positioned on the sides of a user. The race vest configured to run the length of the sternum, leaving the breasts substantially exposed, the back portion running along the spine, leaving the shoulder blades substantially exposed.

Abstract: A resilient strap mount allowing for increased flexibility and movement of a user's shoulders and arms while wearing an athletic pack is presented. The resilient strap mount is constructed having a flexible body member consisting of two body member arms and a body member base. Shoulder harness straps, attaching to shoulder harnesses of the athletic pack, are each respectively threaded through one of the body member arms. An athletic pack strap, attaching to the base of the body of the athletic pack, is threaded through the body member base. In a preferred embodiment, each body member arm is constructed with a body member neck having a thinner width and thickness than the remainder of the flexible body member and each member neck has a pair of slot holes to allow for increased flexibility and stretching of the resilient strap mount.

Abstract: A closure for a beverage container that has a cap for overlapping a mouth of the beverage container. An arcuate member attached to the cap having a pair of extremity portions separated from one another and a springing member is connected to the arcuate member proximate to one of the extremity portions that is angularly pivotally moveable in response to a manually applied force, between a first position at which the springing member closes and completes a continuous periphery of the arcuate member and a second position at which the arcuate member periphery is open.

Abstract: Apparatus transportable by an exercising person, for maintaining a liquid drink within one-handed reach while the person is exercising, includes a container for the liquid drink, an adjustable belt for fitting about the person's waist, a holster connected to the belt, for releasably retaining therewithin the container, and a cradling web extending between the holster and the belt, connected thereto at respective web extremities but being arcuately spaced therefrom along a middle portion of the web.

Abstract: A user-borne athletic pack having an easy to access water/liquid bladder through a rear entry back-flap is presented. A construction of the athletic pack allows for a separate rear compartment containing the bladder to be accessed by unfastening of a back-flap. The rear compartment is separated from the front compartment via material integrally connected on the inside of the athletic pack. The rear access back-flap and rear compartment allows for unhindered access, storage and control of the water bladder in either its full or empty state.
