  • Publication number: 20170314893
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for retaining camouflage material. A frame includes a front surface and a back surface. The frame may be configured to distribute pressure across the back surface from camouflage material retained against the front surface. At least one retention device may be coupled to the frame. The retention device(s) may be configured to retain camouflage material against the front surface of the frame. An array of flexible, pin-shaped extension members may extend from the back surface of the frame. The extension members may protrude from the back surface of the frame at a height sufficient to allow airflow between the frame and a wearer. At least one vent opening may be formed in the frame. A vent opening may include a channel extending between the front surface and the back surface of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20160327113
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for absorbing mechanical energy. An apparatus includes a vented layer formed with a plurality of vent openings. A vent opening includes a channel extending through the vented layer to permit airflow through the vented layer. An array of protrusions extends away from the vented layer. The array of protrusions allows air from the vent openings to flow between the protrusions. In some embodiments, the protrusions absorb energy by deformation such that one or more of the protrusions deforms significantly by bending toward the vented layer.
